Style Like A Rocktar: I Styled The Vivan Girls!

The March issue of Encore Magazine was a special music edition with The Vivian Girls as the cover. I was so excited that I was asked to help style another shoot for the Magazine.




Above: I had a great time putting together all of these looks for The Vivian Girls' Encore Magazine photo shoot!

The girls, Cassie, Ali and Katy A.K.A The Vivian Girls are an indie band from Brooklyn New York. I was excited about styling them because I knew I could make things a little more funky and fun. We shot at Brooklyn Bowl which is an amazingly beautiful bowling alley with a retro feel and a fun setting for the shoot. I was so thrilled that the girls liked what I had picked out for them! During the shoot they told me how they did a shoot for an undisclosed magazine that was well known. They said that they hated the clothes and told me that I did a much better job. HOLLA! Ali even sent me this message via Twitter:

hernameisali : @JonValdez Thanks so much for being an awesome stylist. You made us look goood.

For this shoot we used clothes from American Apparel, Brooklyn Industries, and Hayden-Harnett. Check out some of my favorite looks and shots from the shoot!


Above: Loved Cassie (Left) and Katy (Right) in these cardigans. Katy's mermaid dress adds an awesome pop of color and Cassie's stripped tee looks awesome. I was really feeling the blowing shoes with it as well. So much fun!


Above: What a great shot! Probably my favorite. I love a good sash situation!


Above: These Hayden-Harnett bags were the samples used for the factory and were not even produced yet! I wanted to use them as stylized bowling bags. Katy looked amazing in this!


Above: Another one of my favorite shots!


Above: This Hayden-Harnett dress was crazy good with the exposed zipper. I loved the color of it and way it looks with the hat!


Above: That's a wrap!
