vancouver fashion and portrait photography

This summer the Static team met up with local Vancouver fashion designer Kim Cathers , and shot the new pieces from the mini-collection, Dorthy Goes to the Moulin Rouge. In addition to being an amazing fashion designer kdon is also a wardrobe stylist here at Static Photography. After the shoot we sat down with Kim and got a little insight into the inspiration behind this collection.

"...After accepting the invitation to be a part of the Summer Heat fashion show, I realized I was all out of inventory. A request for 6 outfits, got my head spinning and I headed to DRESSEW where all the magic is born. Wandering isle after isle letting the creative juices drip all over me is my idea of an afternoon well spent. My wandering lead me into the world of lame', ah..... lame'.(smiles) I kept repeating in my head images of the moulin rouge with its glorious dancers, large costumes, frills, bows, diamonds, music and energy. I bought meters and meters of luxurious fabrics, and lame' to boot. Black and white Paisley's, silver lace netted with black, silk the color of cold steel and sand cotton, mmm the ideas were endless. One last gander through the place found me eyeing a simple red and white gingham. And thus, dorthy goes to the moulin rouge. From a picnic in Kansas to debauchery in Paris, this mini collection is sexy, cute and diverse, making every woman desire a piece, every man desiring the woman, and all is well in the world....."

Later, she also left us with a thank you note....

"To the static team, thank you so much for shooting the Dorthy collection, I am impressed how Kris was able to capture the mood and mystery of the clothing, that was not as easy task. He is really talented with that big lense of his and knows how to work all the angles. I will be calling you guys when my next collection is ready. Thanks again, you rule."
