Managing and growing Bunny Paige into a successful alternative fashion brand has been and continues to be a fantastic journey. It allowed me to showcase my creativity at places like NYFW, on the stages of Cirque Du Soleil, and even in magazines! I am proud of what I accomplished and the impact I had on the business's growth and success.

NYFW was a dream I never gave too much energy to; however, as I developed Bunny Paige I set out to prove that it wasn't an impossible pipe dream!

When I was a kid I wanted to run away with the circus... Seeing my Spiked Heart come to life in Cirque Du Soleil’s new live action show R.U.N was such a surreal experience. We worked on this for 9 months from concept to creation. Seeing it on stage for the first time made it all worth it.

Glossy magazines on newsstands make their covers and editorials look effortless but the behind-the-scenes is 14+ hour days in 90 degree heat while carrying heavy couture gowns across Central Park and then cramming a crew of people in an Uber across town to Battery Park just in time for magic hour.

As much as I love fall's ubiquitous sweater weather staples of leather and little black booties, I long for breezy and carefree spring fashion year round. This photo shoot I got to play with my idea of dream couture, fresh off the international runways.

With cover photography by Ted Sun this editorial is inspired by the American Psycho movie, featuring David Sanz @ Q Models NYC as the psycho.

LIVID is a New York, Paris and London based quarterly publication which magnifies the fundamental nature of current pop culture. With that in mind, this was the perfect opportunity to design some unconvenntionnal pieces for the stunning Vannessa Jorge!
