This past Friday, a few Hoot members — Style Director Michele Levbarg-Klein (CC ‘12), makeup artist Sharon Shum (CC ‘13), photographer Tina Gao (BC ‘10), and model Danielle Dodo (BC ‘12) — hopped on over to central Park for the spring/summer trends photoshoot. We shot around Bethesda Fountain, a beautiful location in the park backed by a lake and ringed with early blooming trees.

However, the lovely spring weather we’ve been experiencing lately didn’t stay around for our afternoon shoot- though the sun was still high in the sky, it was chilly like no other! Our model, Danielle, had to look relaxed and calm in skimpy summer dresses even in the cold gusty air. But this is a common fashion dilemma- since photos are shot before the season they’ll be published in, models often have to pose in bikinis in the winter or parkas in the heat. As they say, it’s a mad mad mad mad world; but at least it’s one that’s unbearably chic.

Despite the chilliness, the shoot worked out quite well- we even garnered a few spectators from park visitors! And to top it off, for the majority of a shoot we had some good ol’ entertainment in the form of a man blowing gigantic bubbles, to the joy of various children (and adults).
Make sure to pick up a copy of our premier issue, Spring/Summer 2010, when it comes out next month; we can’t reveal all of the spring trends in the shoot, but look forward to many more girly florals, bright primary colors, and funky textures. For now, enjoy the impending spring!
