Ex-athlete turned model/actor Robert Oliver Jr is known as Isreal Da God is known for his tattoos, killer body, and NY swag. I started working with Isreal in 2018 and consistently created beautiful images. I love that despite not being signed to a NY agency, he still able to travel the world landing magazine editorials, video acting gigs, and walking in fashion shows for top designers.  The thing I like the most about Isreal is his confidence and the energy he brings whenever he enters the lab. He is always fun to be around. The more he works with me, the more comfortable he is with my ideas and vision for him. I tell models all the time they shouldn't work with people they don't feel comfortable with or trust completely with capturing them.

Yusef Collier a Trenton-born and -raised, handsome New Jersey native started modeling in 2016. I found him after seeing runway images of fashion designer Ray Vincente appear on my timeline on Facebook. There was something about his cool and interesting look that inspired me to reach out to him directly for us to work together.

Yusef is a great guy to work with. I love his energy and his confidence. He has a photogenic face that appeals to everyone and an athletic body that's top-notch. He is one of those guys that seem to catch on really fast on how to give to the camera. He is inspired by his love of video games and Japanimation characters - it shapes his personal style and the way he models in front of the camera. 

Yusef is currently unsigned to any agency but he is still able to use his network to book a few opportunities to walk runways during fashion week. I look forward to seeing big things continue to happen for Yusef.

when i first moved to new york and began working with agencies they were reluctant to allow me to work with their women because I didn't have access to a stylist, makeup artist, or hair stylist. Men didn't need that much, they could wear my clothes. Whenever i didn't get the opportunity to work with women, i would flex my designer skills and create a fantastic dress and incorporate menswear elements into a fashion look. 

The evolution of pants and menswear dressing has been a symbol of equality for women. Its a sign of empowerment and respect.  A lot of women who influence my fashion styling for women lean toward androgynous looks like Josephine Baker, Diane Keaton, Annie Lenox, and Lisa Bonet. My favorite designers, like Alexander McQueen,  Jean-Paul Gaultier, and Yves St.Laurent, are heavily inspired by menswear.

Menswear dressing was something my momma did all the time. I hardly ever saw her wearing dresses or "girlie" looks. To incorporate men's looks into the way I style women for my photoshoots is me infusing elements of my momma and women who shaped my aesthetic. I like women in my work to look strong and powerful and menswear helps me to achieve that goal.  Women in my images appear more classic, elegant and refine. The images are timeless.
