For this Pima Cotton shoot, "In the Land of Make Believe" I was inspired by the rich color pallet of the collection. I wanted to mix and match the lush, jewel tone hues to evoke a feeling of effortless demure and whimsy. This got me thinking about paradise and vacationing...and voila! I realized the shoot should be about making believe you're in paradise, on vacation! You can do it anywhere! At my desk, basking in the rays my LCD screen, I closed my eyes - rich color and warm light surrounded me, and I appeared on a beach with flocks of gigantic parrots circling above, the palm trees dancing in the distance. I relaxed into my armoire and fanned myself lazily, as the majesty jewel-colored peacock herself, feeding on pomegranate jelly beans until the sun sank into the horizon. And so our Alternative crew drove out to the Salton Sea, a once lush and buzzing paradise, now long abandoned and forgotten, to let our creativity flourish and color flow in the Land Of Make Believe!
