I chose to cast people over the age of 60 for a fashion shoot because they are more interesting to me than young, skinny models. I was inspired by the character I saw when taking personal photos of my Grandmother, and I thought why not transform this into an fashion editorial, so I pitched the idea to Vice Magazine. I had wanted to shoot some "leisurewear" for a while, (I really love being comfy - I own a range of slippers), and wanted to give the idea a hip hop angle... think Snoop Dogg going shopping in his velour tracksuit. The shoot itself took place in my studio in London and we decided to colour match the background, clothes and set for each shot, to give it a surreal, stylised tone. My amazing team of Kylie Griffiths (stylist), Penny Mills (set design), Sami Knight (hair) and Lydia Warhurst (make up) helped me transform this idea a reality!

Recently, we were approached by New York Post Senior Features Writer Jane Ridley to be interviewed and photographed for an article about the Easter Parade to run on Saturday, April 4th, the day before Easter Sunday. We jumped at the chance and recommended several other friends who participate with us in the Easter Parade and subscribe to the more traditional approach of wearing stylish hats, not the more circus-like atmosphere of recent years (e.g., people who flower pots as headwear or dress in outfits to match their dogs). Jane interviewed us in a couple of teleconferences. The photo shoot took place last Sunday, March 29th. Our instructions from the NY Post editors were quite simple: "dramatic and colorful"! You be the judge of how well we did. Photographer Zandy Mangold shot this photo of us on Palm Sunday, which appeared in the centerfold of yesterday's New York Post. From left to right: Cigmond, Xtine, Lynn, Valerie, Carol and Jean posed in front of St. Patrick's Cathedral. We're actually standing across Fifth Avenue from the Cathedral to take advantage of the great sunlight. Zandy had us do our thing on the steps of the Cathedral as well, where we drew quite a crowd, as if we were shooting the latest fashions for Vogue. Zandy was extremely patient with the competing photographers. (Photograph courtesy of Zandy Mangold) We interrupt this blog to insert a poem composed by Eric R in homage to Jean's Dr. Seuss hat! A cream color hat I wear A black hat the kids I would scare My bonnet is fun Looks I get a ton Easter 2015 is my year! But wait! There's more! We're just showing you a tempting morsel here. Click on this link to the online version of the article: http://nypost.com/2015/04/04/hats-off-to-these-septuagenarian-easter-bonnet-beauties/ We have long admired the work of theatrical milliner Cigmond and were thrilled when she agreed to participate. Her dapper husband Kevin accompanied her to the shoot. The Modern (one of our favorite restaurants, just next door to the Museum of Modern Art) is our traditional stop at parade's end for a cocktail and a nosh. The Modern generously allowed us use of what insiders call its PDR (private dining room) before opening time as a base of operations for the shoot. Several of these photos were taken in the PDR. Cigmond designed and made her hat and outfit, as well as Kevin's hat. As the New York Post states, she designed the amazing hats for the Broadway revival of "Gigi", which opens April 8th. And the Post article used her last name (Meachum), which was news to us. X, our long-time friend and Jean's fellow East Village denizen, graciously consented to participate. She paired her vintage Comme des Garcons hat with a Jill Anderson duster and skirt, flower print Doc Martens, scarlet gloves and lots of bakelite bangles. She added the bird and flower to her chapeau. Lynn Dell Cohen and Carol Markel rounded out our stylish half-dozen. Lynn, who owns Off Broadway Boutique on the Upper West Side, wore an outfit from her store in vintage Rudi Gernreich fabric. Carol, an artist, painter, milliner and jewelry designer who lives on the Lower East Side with her husband, artist Richard Cramer, is now designing dresses! Her outfit is by Alpana Bawa. Anastazia Martinez from the Post accompanied Zandy and conducted additional interviews for the article. We were like kids in a candy-store. As you can see, we were having a ball. Here we are doing the hat lover's version of The Usual Suspects. Zandy photographed us on the patio outside the dining room overlooking MOMA's sculpture garden. We lined up and locked arms like Dorothy, the Cowardly Lion, the Scarecrow and the Tin Man in The Wizard of Oz and strolled toward Zandy as he took shot after shot. (Photograph courtesy of Zandy Mangold) Then we walked over to Fifth Avenue to take the shots outside St. Patricks. All too soon, the frivolity came to an end. Most of our crowd dispersed, but we returned to The Modern with X. The weather was decidedly un-Easterlike, so what better way to warm up than with a cocktail and light repast? What we're wearing: Jean is wearing an Ignatius hat (from the Philadelphia Museum Craft Show); Issey Miyake dress; Trippen platform boots; Sock Man red arm warmers and tights vintage bakelite and plastic bangles; faux amber prayer bead necklace; faux jade green gumball choker; Heydari red necklace and earrings. Sharp-eyed readers will have noticed that Valerie wore two costumes. This is because during the interview process we mentioned Valerie's Guggenheim hat, which intrigued The Post's editors. When they asked if she would wear it for the shoot, we pointed out that they had asked for color, and the hat and its suit have none. Then wear two outfits, the editors said, and we'll choose the one we prefer. So in the opening photo, Valerie is wearing a pink straw Susy Krakowski hat, vintage pink straw earrings, Perry Ellis jacket, Issey Miyake dress, vintage gloves, a museum toy as a bracelet, and pink suede Aerosoles shoes. With the Guggenheim hat (an Ignatius commission), Valerie is wearing vintage red and white plastic earrings, a Calvin Klein suit, vintage Guggenheim souvenir tee shirt with a Miro print, red plastic ring, red wooden bangle, and Icon shoes with an Andy Warhol soup can print.

It is interesting to observe the way that female Saints like Joan of Arc enthrall people who in other areas of their life are quite uninterested or even antipathetic toward the Catholic Church. I think this is because the female Saints represent an emancipation of the feminine genius, a true "feminism," that emerged far before the modern movement.

I took my time when creating these dye samples. I gathered plenty of yellow onion skins to fill my dye pot completely. I added water to my pot, boiled the skins for 30 minutes, and allowed the skins to soak in the bath for a few days. I strained the skins from the bath and added my (pre wet) fabric. I brought the dye bath back to a boil for 30 mins with my fabric, keeping an eye on the surface making sure to release any air bubbles from the fabric. I allowed the fabric to soak in the bath overnight. This amount of time isn't necessary to achieve color results, but it is how and why my colors are so saturated.

What makes a successful advertisement? Fashionable, good-looking models? Good concept/idea? Humor? Of course, it is much more than that! However, one spectacular advertisement, that seems to have taken these 'successful advertisement' elements on board, appeared recently and instantly became famous on social networks. The advertisement is a photo session with the products of Nemyugun bakery located in Yakutsk. However, the fun fact is that the company has nothing to do with it.
