I always get so excited for the Green with Glamour seasonal celeb photoshoots - they’re festive, fashion-y and oh-so-sexy!  For the Spring/Summer 09 look, we were feeling pretty damned good about ourselves and went for a “top of the world” theme, deliciously shot on the rooftop of The Chapman Building (many thanks to GwG’s dear friend and loft tenant, Matthew Vafiadis!)  The location was divine, but I have to admit the whole inspiration for our “world-topping” thing came once I knew the lovely Jorja Fox was on board to be our “model”.  From afar she just seems to ooze a relaxed confidence, right?  Well, let me tell you… up close she does not disappoint!  Arriving poised, professional and completely good-spirited, Jorja set the tone for a luscious photoshoot & overall brilliant day!The Players was written by Fabrizio O. Almeida, Lisa Buscani, Brian Hieggelke, Sharon Hoyer, Valerie Jean Johnson, Nina Metz, Dennis Polkow, William Scott, Andy Seifert and Monica Westin

 

So… we let the champagne flow, munched on vegan yummies (curried mango & tempeh sandwich recipe here), soaked in the gorgeous day and went to work!  More Jorja’s GwG ensemble here.

 

Jorja shines and Lelah snaps away while I soak in the surrounding talent!

Artfully shot by photographer, Lelah Foster, the finished photos are a dream come true!  Utilizing the open space, the soft sun and the colors & shapes of downtown LA, Lelah perfectly framed Jorja’s smouldering beauty and determined gaze.  I know… I’m gushing, but it really was a perfect day.  Model = amazing, Photographer (& assist., Chad) = brillsville, Clothing = perfection (of course!), Make up & Hair = a divine cross-section of editorial meets wearable (Big thank yous to Alyson Granaderos and Tamami Ito respectively!!!), and behind-the-scenes photos and general production helping hand = my husband & #1 supporter… total harmony!

 

I mean… seriously!

And to push the feel-good even further, once the GwG photos were captured, Jorja swapped her designer clothes (check what she wore here) for a PETA tee and posed for the campaign to STOP the clubbing of Canadian seals - some serious multi-tasking!  At the end of the day, we are beyond thrilled with the results and so proud to have Jorja - and the rest of the team - play such important roles in the world of Green with Glamour!
