The third look for SouthPark Magazine's Street Style photo shoot was one of two we granted to the SouthPark, given the neighborhood is the magazine's namesake. This was the first time I have worked with Paul Simon or Paul Simon Women on a project. I haven't been in the store in years, and to be quite honest, I had the stereotype in my head that this was a place for only my Mom to shop. Not so. I look at Chelsea's chic modern look, and I don't think "my Mom's clothes" for one second. I always tell my client that the fit is the very most important thing with your clothes. Secondly, the styling is what personalizes an outfit. The three pieces; the pants, sleeveless turtleneck sweater and cape, all from Paul Simon Women, are the base pieces to this outfit. It's no secret that fringe might be the fall season's single most popular trend, so the cape was my starter piece. The end result could have gone in a number of directions. The hat, one of my most prized pieces from my personal collection, is a total statement maker. For whatever reason, Chelsea's makeup, hair and hat, (Kudos to HMU Artist Chelsea Kimrey) remind me of a Parisian Nancy Sinatra. The Loeffler Randall Rider Bag is also my own. After hours and hours of souring boutiques all over Charlotte and coming back to the studio with an arsenal of options, I still found this one to be the best fit for the overall look.
