Two weeks ago I was able to sneak onto the shoot of the new larry. fall 09 line. I got in with promise of refreshments and it worked! The shoot was done down at Fraser River Park. I’d never been before but what a great location! I loved all of the boardwalks and different swampy and sandy niches in the area. Perfect for a fashion photo shoot. Kim Cathers was looking stunning despite the intense heat and ants running up her legs. She makes every piece look effortlessly chic and makes me want to own everything she puts on. The scarves, wraps and shawls featured in the new line are different to last year. More details and doodads, new leather and buttons, more feature elements in each piece, and the colors are as awesome as always. I can see a few of the scarves as regular, solid accessories this winter.

I love the natural colors of the wools against the green of the trees and the bluey grey of the Fraser River. There were a few pictures taken under a boardwalk looking so rustic and cabin-like. Anything that appears to have happened at a cabin, I’m in love with! I haven’t seen any of the pictures yet and I was too nervous to sneak any of my own but I took a few of the park where the team was set up. The photographers, Christina Ladwig on film and Matthew Timmons on digital, were awesome and with models like Kim, Terri and Rachel, they had some pretty sexy subjects.

It was a fun group, a fantastically BC location and some amazing pieces that I can’t wait to try on. I’ll be staying tuned for the release of the pics and will let you know if I get my hands on any other undercover Larry goss… especially if I hear news of a sale. There are a few of last years scarves and neck warmers I would still like to get my hands on before our summer disappears once and for all!
