Home Sweet Home

Valentine NYC Shangri-la bra + Runaway panty, Warehouse caftan (sample). Screenprint by Dead Flowers NYC. Shot by Tommy Mendes in my apartment.

When an awesome photographer in NYC asks you to model for a lingerie blog, you might be hesitant at first. But what if, when you took a closer look at the brand, you fell in love with it: first with its products and then with its content? That's ultimately the story behind the above images, which were lensed by Tommy Mendes for the lingerie brand Valentine NYC. Take one look at their blog and you'll see why my normally covered-up self decided to throw any uncertainty aside and agree to this shoot. They do such a beautiful job of documenting the lives and personalities of the women that they feature on the site, and I knew I'd be in good hands with Tommy.
