Thanks for your kind comments about our photos for the NOH8 Campaign! The shoot wouldn’t have been possible without our friends Toni & Guy (who did our big Visual Kei hair) and Skingraft — an LA design company that lent us leather clothing.

Sebastiano and I went to the downtown store, and tried on various leather ensembles. Skingraft kindly loaned us the pieces for free (thank you Phyllis for putting us in touch).

We loved the soft, handcrafted leather and silver military detail.

This work of art was hanging from the ceiling. It looks like something the Diva from The Fifth Element movie might wear.

The Gothic meets Outer Space inspiration appeals to us.

In NOH8 photos, the participants wear white. I ended up wearing a white leather vest.

    I love the military jacket as well but the prices are a little high.

      Some of the prices were pretty reasonable – $130-200 is pretty decent for handcrafted leather with this amount of quality and detailing, I think…
