She's the it girl; 

the one everyone wants to be.
Incorporate this summer's shift dresses, minimalistic separates and embellished accessories to embody the look of this 

poor little rich girl. 

1960's glamour has never looked so modern.

anthropologie - bedding.

 project five: signage.

 i used an old-fashioned type writer and made signage for all of the new bedding. (it felt so vintage and cool to use a type writer!)  

next i put photos of the corresponding bedding on the cards, and used string to wrap the duvet's together with their new signage.

 

anthropologie - bed.

project four: the bed.

one day while working at anthropologie, I was given a merchandising task: I was asked to choose bedding, steam it, and make the bed in our "home section" that features our gorgeous bedding, pillows and home accessories.

eventually, a visual display task was added. yarn was dip-dyed and then wrapped around nails to make geometric shapes around the bed frame. the teal and violet yarn adds another dimension to the bed, and gives a very artistic feel to the entire display.

anthropologie - geometric shapes.

 project three: geometric rope shapes.

 

nails were drilled into the walls to create a number of geometric shapes. 

brown rope and neon orange rope were wrapped around nails to create different shapes behind the cash&wrap station, as well as a complementary wall addition to the spring apparel.

anthropologie - flowers.

project two: flower making.

i created large-scale flowers to complement the spring apparel displays.

[rolled recycled shopping bags into cones and secured with staples and hot glue guns; the flowers were dip-dyed with yellow dye; the dyed cones were secured into a ball of chicken wire and then connected to a large faux-stem.] 

anthropologie - couture dress.

 first project at anthropologie:

creating couture dresses for the main window displays, out of sewing pattern paper.

[used pins, glue guns, staple guns, sewing pattern paper, construction paper to create dresses on the mannequins. cloth was dyed green; cut; stretched and glued to the art walls behind the mannequins to create color contrast.]

Photo Styling off-figure photo shoot.

The inspiriation from this shoot came from Irving Penn's photo, "Theatre Accident" [below]. We tried to modernize the shoot by using a lush Prada handbag with a variety of items scattered around it: Chanel make-up, coins, sunglasses, an Hermes scarf, an iPhone, jewelry, a number of travel books and a passport.  It is meant to appear as though a worldly traveler has had her handbag checked by security and all of her items have been thoughtfully scattered about.
