Riordan Roache: Fall/Winter 2011 Lookbook

Local women's wear designer, Emily Riordan-Roache, approached me to paint the face of model Lauren Luiz for her upcoming Fall/Winter 2011 Lookbook shot by photographer, Allegra Villella, and who wouldn't oblige after seeing her meticulously hand-crafted designs below? There is nothing like a great structured coat, or what I like to refer to as the "cloak of confidence", to make you feel perfectly dressed for any occasion.

We decided to keep the makeup look light and feminine for this shoot; I chose a color palette that would complement the collection's fall/winter season as well as Lauren's beautiful auburn mane.

You can learn all about Emily's fashion design journey as she was specially chosen for the Etsy Handmade Portrait Feature video below- and please do check out her shop as well...you will not be disappointed!
