I had such a blast shooting the first lookbook for Replica Los Angeles, brainchild of designer and fashion maven Nathalie Saphier.
While paying homage to the keen style and unfuckwithable attitude of punk rockers and new wave kids posing outside seedy night clubs throughout the 70’s and 80’s, we rocked out to Nathalie’s superb play list during the shoot. She cites David Bowie, Iggy Pop and Lou Reed as strong inspirations for this collection as well as early 70’s glam rock, Biba, Pop Art and Jamaican Ska.
No one, I repeat, no one could have have pulled this off better than our model and muse Annakim Violette Petty. The youngest daughter of Tom Petty and a true free spirit, Annakim is widely known for her unique sense of style and nonformist approach to life.
