LIP SERVICE SAMPLE FACTORY IN DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES. GOTH STEAMPUNK DESIGNER STUDIO TOUR, CLOTHING MANUFACTURE & DESIGN.
I’m so happy that you enjoyed my Lip Service modeling photos with Sebastiano! I’m continuing to collaborate with the world-famous Goth alternative clothing brand, so keep your eyes peeled for announcements.
Let’s go behind the scenes of our fashion photoshoot. Seba and I began the day at Lip Service headquarters in downtown Los Angeles. We were like spooky kids in a candy store: so many clothing samples to try. We met Mickey and Bryn in the red office, and got an exclusive preview of the upcoming designs.
Peeking around the design studio made me feel like Alice in Wonderland. Sky-high shelves containing fabric rolls and and boxes of trimmings.
Our photographer, Mich, helped us pull clothing for the shoot. I loved the furry jackets and cage skirts (and ended up taking quite a few items home).
Hoodie dress: Algonquins, from Thank You Mart (secondhand) in Harajuku
Black shiny shoes: Alice and the Pirates, from Closet Child
Red skull tights: gifted from Artisan Socks
A dog-friendly office is a sign of a great company.
Sebastiano got hungry and had a midnight snack. It’s going to be hard to explain this shirt to the drycleaner…
Raise your hand if you think Seba should cross-dress more?
We ended up taking several bags of clothing, shoes and accessories to Servitu (the downtown dungeon where the photoshoot took place).
