COOL GUIDE MONOCHROMATIC:
Well, the time has come and Cris and I could not be any more excited! The Cool Guide MONOCHROMATIC shoot
took everything up a notch, hands down. We have had other shoots, but none of them were quite like this.
Everything came together exactly the way we envisioned it; which as creatives, is nearly impossible to achieve with
all the dynamics and people involved in pulling off a photo shoot.
mon·o·chro·mat·ic
ˌmänōkrəˈmadik/
adjective
containing or using only one color.
“monochromatic light”
PHYSICS
(of light or other radiation) of a single wavelength or frequency.
We wanted to embark upon exploring and embodying the MONOCHROMATIC mood to show people it was Ok to be
bold. And nothing less than our supreme best was the energy we channeled during the manifestation of this shoot;
from the shot list to the featured products all the way down to the wardrobe that was chosen real time with the
assistance of Stylist Goddess Miss Lisa Smith Craig (@lscstyling).
Here, at heART of Cool (HoC), we love fashion and everything about it, so we had to have the dopest stylist. Lisa
Craig Smith, has been many of the top industries go to for over a decade. She came in with the wardrobe, the team
and the plan! We came in and the clothes were laid out and ready to be selected upon arrival. We tried on pieces
and began building looks. Our goal was to select the brands that had pieces that were cool and honed in on exactly
who, Cristen and I were as individuals.
Lisa and her team were not only great at putting it all together, but were beautiful people with beautiful spirits. It was
the most epic feeling because this is what we do this for. The crew was an all around great support. The creativity
flowed onto the set so easily as you will see from the images. We had the pleasure of wearing brands like Europe
base brand ZWALLOW your pride, alongside Dr. Martin.
What was most amazing to us, was that the energy we had put out was the exact same energy we were getting
back from our creative team! The photographer, GIULIANO BEKOR, was full of intense focused energy, which
Cristen and I thought was inspiring. He gave great direction and really understood what we wanted to achieve with
the shoot.
In closing, we must say that this shoot was definitely one for the books. We had an outstanding time and grew to
new heights. GROWTH, is always the goal!
We hope you beautiful people enjoy this season’s “COOL GUIDE”.
