This photo shoot was made for Phoenix Fashion Week by the brand Encolor designed by Yuka Ishiko, Fumiko Katsuta and Eriko Saxon.

It is very interesting that more than designers they are truly artists and I had the honor to meet one of them (Fumiko Katsuta).. They started making shirts for men, then kids and baby and now they want to introduce a girl collection (we should keep an eye for that lol).

What makes these shirts even more special is that they are hand painted and they are one of a kind.

The two shirts that I modeled in the pictures, they were my favorites and Fumiko just painted them the day before the photo shoot for me, they were few of the first women shirts painted by them.. I feel so special!! and soon you will see them on the runway of Phoenix Fashion Week!!

I want to give special thanks to Shannon Campbell for considering me to model for Encolor designs and to have the opportunity to work with the photographer Airi Katsuta (As you can see she is Fumiko’s daughter, one of the designer of Encolor.. wow creative family, that is great, best wishes for them).

Also had the opportunity to have my makeup done by Celestial Williams and I learned a lot of beauty tips as you can read on my past post “Everything behind a beauty shoot”.

I just love my job..

Esta sesion de fotos se hiso especialmente para la presentacion en el Phoenix Fashion Week para la marca Encolor diseniada por Yuka Ishiko, Fumiko Katsuta y Eriko Saxon.

Es muy interesante por que mas que diseniadores son artistas y tuve el gusto de conocer a una de ellas (Fumiko Katsuta).. Ellos empezaron a hacer camisetas para hombres, despues empezaron con la linea para ninios y ahora quieren incluir moda para mujer..

Lo que hace todavia mas especial estas camisetas es que son pintadas a mano y puedes mandar pintar tu disenio. (solo hacen una por disenio)

Las dos blusas que modele en las fotos, fueron mis favoritas y resulto que fueron las dos que Fumiko pinto el dia anterior para mi, fueron de las primeras blusas para mujer que hacen.. me siento especial!! jajajaja y pronto las veran en la pasarela del Phoenix Fashion Week =)

Quiero dar gracias a Shannon Campbell por considerarme para modelar para Encolor y poder trabajar con la fotografa Airi Katsuta (como puedes notar es hija de una de las diseniadoras.. una familia muy creativa jeje)

Tambien tuve el gusto de ser maquillada por Celestial Williams y aprendi mucho sobre cuidados de la piel ese dia gracias a ella jajaja de hecho escribi sobre algunos en “Everything behind a beauty shoot”
