JetSet Homes and Sydney Architectural firm Pappas Alexiou work with The Darnell Collection

The term Mid Century Modern has become a moniker for chic, urbane and streamlined design in architecture, furniture and fashion.

When Sydney architectural firm, Pappas Alexiou approached The Darnell Collection about collaborating with a fashion shoot to bring to life their new modular homes, Jetset Homes, in a visionary marketing campaign, I jumped at the opportunity.

Out of my climate controlled room at Grace Fine Art, I pulled a classic Christian Dior wool knit jumpsuit (perfect for Emma Peel), a glazed cotton 'New Look' day dress by L'Aiglon (very Mad Men) and a chic pair of modern patent leather Gianvitto Rossi wedge sandals. 

The process was fascinating. Our model posed in front of a green screen. Her image, in various poses and outfits, was then digitally superimposed into Jetset Homes' stunning California style backdrops. 

The end result is classy, sophisticated mid century modern imagery - reliving a 'Jetsons' moment and creating an aspirational 21st century lifestyle. 
Thank you for the fab experience!

Darley's Restaurant at Lilianfels is the backdrop for a Darnell Collection photo shoot of Couture

In the most decadent and majestic interior of the newly renovated Darley's restaurant at the classically elegant Lilianfel's Hotel in Katoomba, a selection of couture gowns from the collection were brought to life.

The misty day created the perfect ambiance in which to showcase couture at it's finest - from Balenciaga and to Dior, from Chanel to Vivienne Westwood, from Valentina to Ninette of Melbourne.  A quick photo session around the pool highlighted the vibrant, psychedelic-patterned kaftan followed by a chilly plunge in the hotel pool wearing the latest look by Ripcurl. Fashion comes full circle!

Thank you to the unbelievably talented Brigitte and Tony at Brigitte Grant Photography; to Chris at Chris Wolf Hair; to Olivia, our beautiful and obliging model, and to Lilianfel's Hotel, Katoomba.
