Peace, love and sassiness is our Winter fashion shoot by stylist Reema Alfouir and photographer John Bozinov exclusive to Thread using fashion from Wellington stores and inspired by sassy 1970s women.
The theme
"The vibe I was going for with this shoot, Peace, love and sassiness, was inspired by the sassy and self-assured women of the 70’s decade – think Bianca Jagger" says fashion stylist Reema Alfouir. "I wanted it to be glamorous, but also kitschy and fun. You can see oriental and disco elements in there as well. In the end, I do feel like I captured the vibe I wanted. Over-dramatic, sure – but also natural and wearable. I love trying to fuse ideas that are on two ends of the spectrum e.g. glamorous and raw. It’s a fun challenge.
The shoot
"It was a huge risk, as I asked John Bozinov to shoot it in film! He shot it on a Bronica SQ-AI and used Kodak Portra 400 film. The reason for this was that I wanted it to have a unique raw and retro quality, which I think is a rarity these days. This meant that we had to be as careful as possible when we were shooting it as we couldn’t instantly tell if the photo was good or not. John is so talented and he has an amazing aesthetic."
