Last January while I was having dinner in Paris with colleagues, the topic of my Mexican home came up in the conversation. Owners Moira Nelson of Bra La Mode and Kimmay Caldwell, of Hurray Kimmay were at the table. Moira was planning a trip to Los Cabos and Kimmay decided to join her. Kimmay and I have often discussed a lingerie collaboration, but never could quite decide how to make it happen. Since I would be in Cabo during their vacation, I suggested that we could do a photo shoot incorporating lingerie brands and elements of the Cabo lifestyle. The plan was to combine my mission to present ‘lingerie as the poetry in a woman’s wardrobe’ while creating content for Kimmay’s brand. My job was to organize the set up. I engaged my good friend Karen O’Shaughnessy, a well-known horse photographer. Since Karen had never shot fashion, we decided to keep the whole project very organic and go with the flow. Thankfully she offered her hacienda for a location. Kimmay’s role was to secure the brands, model, and style the photo shoot. It was a lot of work for everyone, so thanks to each of you. Me; I went riding while they sweated and shot these images of lingerie from Corin, Susa, Evelyn & Bobbie and Shapellx.
