Sneak Peek Calendar Project For 2010 With Alex Tran

November 9th, 2009 Nini Leave a comment Go to comments

Hi guys! How is everyone doing? I’m sorry for my absence for the last few days. I was working on a calendar project for 2010 with Alex Tran, Miss Vietnam Global 2009. Alex is such a kind, fun, elegant, and beautiful person to work with. We get along really well and she has such a great sense of humor. I love this girl! The calendar will be sold for
donations and all the money will be going to several different charities. Loc and I are very honored to be a part of this project. This is the third time that I am directing the shoot and styling at the same time. I really enjoyed it and look forward to many more opportunities  to come because as you know that is my dream job :) The theme I came up with for the shoot was about old Hollywood glamour with a twist: modern and futuristic. Since Alex and I are the same size I used my clothes and made some use some of the things I took out on approval for her (that even included a special gown from Naeem Khan!!!) She looked fabulous! Loc did such a wonderful job with the photography. All the photos are stunning. I will post all the photos to share with you guys when they are released to the public at the end of this year for Chinese New Year.  My friend, Susie Straubmueller, was extremely gracious to let us use her home for a location.  She is a fantastic handbag designer in Dallas.  Check out her latest collection on her website.   Naeem Khan team was so generous and kind to send me one of his gowns for the shoot. Thank you, thank you so much! Without the help of a great team and such generous people my task would not be completed.

Here are a few of the photos that have not been edited by Loc yet. He’s still working on picking the best one for calendar.

    Hi Nini! I can totally see your influence in the styling, not just because they’re your clothes, either! This sounds like an exciting project & I can’t wait to see more!

    Wooow Alex Tran is Truly Gorgeous, AND her sparkling Sexyness confers such a Refreshing soul to this “Nini-esque Retro/Futuristic Femme Fatale” inspiration . . . Wide back cleavage, long leather gloves, metallic swimsuit with “GLAMazon-esque” shoulders AND your RED alligator belt = Woooooow Woooooow Wooooooooooow !!!!
    ps: I really like the idea to make rhyme GLAMourous creativity AND altruistic project Dear Nini.

    à Bientôt, Antoine

    love the “no shooting” shot. its so girly.

    I had a feeling if I came to your blog today, I’d find the answer to what you’ve been up to, Nini! ; )

    It looks like a great shoot & that you & Loc did a brilliant job, and had fun. It’s funny, I just did my first fashion shoot a few weeks ago, and that was the same theme (old fashioned Hollywood glamour, with a twist). Can’t wait to see the calendar and will definitely be buying a bunch! Well done to you both. xoxo

    p.s. I put a little ‘thing’ on my blog about it – sidebar, top – so will adjust it now, to say the cat’s out of the bag on the surprise. (jc @ http://streetstylelondon.blogspot.com/ )
