Kim Hicks Couture in Paris with custom beaded lace from Solstiss

It takes so many things to put together a gown.
First there are the visions and sketches, then there are the swatches, little samples of fabric, lace, beads, feathers, zippers and trims. Next are the the toile and muslins bringing the shape and form to life. Finally it is time to stitch it all together and slowly the final creation takes form.
Kim sources her custom beaded lace from Solstiss in Paris.
Last week at the Couture showings she unveiled this dress. Worn by the beautiful Helen George from Karins Models it demonstrates the elegance and beauty of hand stiched beading that Solstiss created just for Kim.

Kim Hicks In Paris

Had a great day with Kim Hicks photographing her amazing Couture dresses in Paris. Here is Nell Rebowe running down the stairs of the Westin Hotel where Kim was showing her collection to all the magazines.

The American Ballet Theater Gala at Lincoln Center Spring 2013

Last night I went to shoot ABT for Quest Magazine.
It was freezing as I stood outside taking photos of the guests as they arrived. How do they do it? Beautiful women in high heels and gowns walking across the plaza leaving their coats in the cars that drooped them off .
This year there were some short dresses as well.
It seemed that anyone who was anyone was dressed in Black or White.
