Spanish things: The Morticia does Spain Collection


Mortica does Spain, a Collection of fitted dresses and separates designed with only one in mind, Morticia of course....Imagining if I were to dress her. 
The pictures originally appeared in the LA STYLE  section of the Los Angeles Times, and went on to be featured in DETOUR MAGAZINE, beautifully photographed by Michael Segal.
 
Michaels work is truly beautiful, he is a Fashion Photographer who specializes in magazine, music, fine art, and celebrity photography for publications and advertisers. I met Michael Segal several years ago while designing a collection called 'Morticia does Spain'. We met at a coffee shop in Venice beach and talked about my design style ...
Jean Louis and Isabel offered to let me do the photo shoot inside their Restaurant Louis XIV, a Bar that served Spanish/French fusion located on la Brea and Clinton, in Hollywood. It is no longer there but it reigned as one of the most influential restaurant/clubs of the 90's and spawned out a niche for the intimate bar scene crowd.
