Bombay Sapphire and GQ Magazine

I have been fortunate enough for the last three years to style Bombay Sapphire’s annual advertorial in the December issue of GQ Magazine. Working with the amazing creative team behind the shoot, the classy gents at Bombay Sapphire and the fabulous photo-team of: Photographer: Dean West, Producer: Gayle Kotula, Stylist:Christie Moeller, Stylist Assistant: Josalene Ginn, Grooming and Makeup: Homa Safar, Hair: Dennis Marshall Cooper and Makeup Assistant: Keely Zelanka.

This year Bombay Sapphire takes the most imaginative bartenders from the US and Canada on a winter getaway to Morocco.

Styling 38 people for one shot is like the Olympics of styling, Each person is a different size and has a different style personality. The challenge is to make them all as fashion forward as possible yet maintain their own style aesthetic and coordinate with the color palette of the overall shot which incorporated Bombay Blue, creams, tans and safari beige.
