Independent Artists Presents: New Day

As we enter this new year full of exciting possibility, we thought it fitting to produce a set of images full of warmth and energy. Stylist Amy Hays completely transformed the Tilly House and put together looks to paint her visual story with beautiful patterns and textures. Hair & makeup artist Kay Reeder effortlessly created natural and beautiful looks for models Becca from Wallflower Management and Allison from Kim Dawson. With the assistance of producer Willy Adams, photographer Heather Key, art director Jane Baker, and assistant stylist Doug Voisin, the team came together to conceive a series of photographs which showcase some of our cities most talented artists.

Independent Artists is proud to present:

The Wallflower Issue #3

Creative director Tammy Theis states that the latest issue of The Wallflower "wasn’t planned as an ode to rebels, but as the stories came in, there was a thread of that spirit in each one. In Nick Prendergrast’s rebel youth, stylist Ariella Villa referenced the work of swiss photographer Karlheinz Weinberger who documented Swiss, working class teenagers in the ‘50s and ’60s who created their own look fusing iconic american pop culture imagery - biker jackets, denim jeans, bouffany hairdos and elvis - into their own style of defiant gang glamour." 

The editorial styled by Ariella Villa also featured jewelry created by Benjamin Hubert for his Tetanus collection. 

The second editorial in the issue styled by Ariella is shot by German born photographer Claudia Grassil who shot a trio blondes whose long manes of hair become a symbol of youthful defiance.
