Doggies on the Catwalk 2017

I am THRILLED to share the Doggies on the Catwalk ad for 2017! I got in the photo for the 10th year celebration. The ad will run full page in The Atlantan, Jezebel and Interiors magazines. 

The shoot, which took place at Swoox in Buckhead, positions me with three amazing service dogs from our benefitting charity, Canine Assistants. Photographer Tomas Espinoza, who has shot the last two covers, has become quite the expert of working with dogs as models! I am in love with this shot... 

On May 6, at The Shops Buckhead Atlanta, twenty models will walk alongside service dogs and puppies to support Canine Assistants. The service dogs will be sporting their service vests and models will be dressed in the latest Spring looks from Alice + Olivia, COS, Akris, Les Copains, Kit and Ace, Theory, Monck Mason and Tod's.

ELECTRIC FAMILY SPRING 2017 - A Campaign For Peace

There’s no doubt that 2017 is off to a turbulent start. Crashing mindsets and belief structures are causing mass division, widespread confusion and unprecedented disruption. Friendships have ended, families have been torn apart and entire countries are alienated. It’s time for us to come together as a family to spread our message.

What message is that? There is more power in unity than division.

The Electric Family Spring 2017  line drops on Sunday, 2/26  at 10am PST and will include high quality items and on-trend garments with new graphics, designs and positive messages - all at affordable pricing. The theme of this season’s line - A CAMPAIGN FOR PEACE.

Electric Family is not simply another clothing brand, but a grassroots movement born out of the electronic music community, created to increase the connectedness and compassion amongst the global population. We challenge our fans daily to get active in local communities and treat others with respect at all times. Wearing our products symbolizes your commitment to making a positive impact in the world - join in on the campaign for peace. Our popular artist bracelet lines are collaborations with different DJs and producers in the industry, with a portion of proceeds from each purchase being donated to a charity of that artist’s choice.

Porsche Design Sport by adidas Spring/Summer 2017 Campaign with Xabi Alonso

Porsche Design Sport by adidas unveils its Spring/Summer 2017 campaign and collection with ambassador and world-renowned footballer Xabi Alonso

Porsche Design Sport by adidas and Xabi Alonso unveil their latest campaign to support the new Spring/Summer 2017 collection of engineered luxury sportswear.

The campaign provides a rare glimpse into a more intimate side of Xabi as he invites the cameras into his inner sanctum and home life with his actress wife, Nagore Aranburu, at his side throughout.

To support the collection’s seasonal theme of Urban Commuting, the campaign follows Xabi through a typical day, from driving to training, running with his wife, cycling leisurely to see friends, relaxing at home and finally, to stepping out to dinner at the end of the day. Throughout each context, the Porsche Design Sport by adidas collection provides stylish, functional and innovative solutions to a range of weather conditions and activities and showcases the versatility of each piece.

The premium, performance-focused collection features the highest quality materials to provide everything Xabi Alonso requires for his daily routine. Designed for the urban man and his many activities, the range of products features advanced technical details that are elegantly integrated to protect the wearer against any element, may it be darkness or light, rain or sun, cold or warmth.

In the campaign Xabi Alonso can be seen sporting many stand-out products which ensure he is comfortable, protected from the weather and stylish. Whilst driving, he wears the PADDED JACKET, a minimalist outer filled with premium PrimaLoft® Gold insulation for superior protection against the cold. While running with his wife, he chooses the tailored, lightweight REFLECTIVE JACKET which features the season’s all-over hexagonal print – a design that becomes visible when illuminated to ensure safety and practicality in darkness. Xabi Alonso also wears the specifically engineered-for-running SEVEN-EIGHTH TIGHTS which have strategic reflective details and the ENDURANCE LEATHER 2.0 training shoe - a highlight piece crafted in luxurious leather and which pairs sleek design, BOOST™ technology and comfort enhancing innovations.

Whilst on his bike, he pairs the innovative REFLECTIVE MIX JACKET with the EC RUNNING trainer. The jacket is a smart solution for commuting as it delivers warmth or cools depending on the conditions thanks to two premium technologies. The PrimaLoft® Down Blend Gold is a blend of goose down and synthetic fibres which insulates the upper body even when wet while the THERMOCOOL™ technology delivers warmth, temperature regulation and moisture management to the neck, back and arms. The trainers are highly versatile and are perfect for the gym and fashionable enough to wear for leisure. Made with an abrasion-resistant Tubular rubber outsole and comfort enhancing EVA midsole, the striking shoe features the season’s distinctive hexagon graphic for an added injection of style.

At home and during leisure time he wears the relaxed yet sophisticated CREW SWEAT TOP and the adaptable TRAVEL TOURER shoes which feature BOOSTTM for performance and come in a lightweight, breathable mesh upper and alongside an air-channeled midsole gives the wearer 360-degree ventilation for increased comfort.

‘I love the offering for Spring/Summer 2017 because I can wear many of the products every day, for any activity or event or when travelling. If I’m going to training or the gym I’ll choose the reflective and padded jackets and when I go to family events, there are many elegant and sophisticated choices. With Porsche Design Sport by adidas I never have to worry, I know I’ll always look good and be able to do the things I need to do.’ Xabi explained when discussing the collection.
