Here is a Suburbia inspired fashion shoot I recently did. I hope you all enjoy the photos and I hope to see you all on my facebook page here!
Recently I worked with the amazingly talented and award winning fashion designer Suzy Homewrecker. Her line Hell on Heels Couture is an amazing blend of colors and patterns that I feel raises the bar in the world of alternative fashion. Below you can see pictures from the shoot as well as an exclusive interview with Suzy.
Q: How long have you been designing clothes?
A: I started making clothes in 1998, self taught using the trial and error method. I have been designing for the alternative fashion scene ever since. There were so many designs I had in my head of what I wanted to wear, only I would never be able to find it; stuff I would see in movies or music videos when I was younger “but only if it were black” or “if only this was a slightly different cut” the other problem was never being able to find clothes that fit right…that is what originally pushed me to start designing clothes. I design the outfits and accessories, I cut everything out freehand and never used a pattern. I also sew everything myself.
Q: What inspires you as a fashion designer?
A: Music and art inspires me as a designer. Fashion is wearable art.
Q: What advice would you give to aspiring fashion designers?
A: Research research research.. look up labels and what their process is. Find out where to get fabric wholesale and see what works for you. It really depends on what your goals are. If you want to sell at Magic to boutiques, design and have your outfits mass produced or design a custom line all original and handmade. My goals have changed over the years, don’t just stick to one idea either. Do what is obtainable and realistic. Also, collaborations have always introduced me to new people.
Q: Where can people purchase your clothing?
A: Currently I am selling only collectible custom handmade outfits and sell to exclusive boutiques like Missconstrued Boutique in Phoenix.

This past Sunday I had the great privilege to work with Alyse Rudnyk, who is a very gifted Hair Stylist out of Scottsdale Arizona. I connected with Alyse to shoot photos for her 2012 promotions. It was a ton of fun and felt more like a party than a photo shoot which added a great feel to the images. It was for that reason I was inspired to shoot the image above which turned out to be my favorite shot of the night.
No matter the look you’re going for Alyse has it down. Everything from bright and complex to dark and simple. Not only was she able to put together a beautiful combination of looks for the models but she did it fast. There were 9 subjects total to photograph all of which had their hair styled on the spot with no crew. Alyse styled all of the models hair by her self and even colored one of the model’s hair on location. As a photographer who often works with strict time constraints this really stood out to me.
Given the open minded trends in fashion today, it is important to make a visual impact with a unique look. With Alyse’s training in sculpture cuts she is able to give her clients hair cuts that not only look fantastic but are customized to each individual face shape. This method of cutting not only compliments her clients most flattering features but gives them a unique cut fitting their own personality and style.
With 9 different subjects I had a lot of great photos to choose from which made it impossible to choose photos for this article, so if you want to see more check back soon because I plan on putting some in my January in review article! I hope you all enjoyed the photos and if you want to learn more about Hair Stylist Alyse Rudnyk there is a link to her website below! Thank you all for reading and don’t forget to subscribe!

Working with Lilly was like working with a veteran in the industry. She followed direction amazingly and was over all just a tone of fun to work with. So to all you talent agency out there keep your eyes open because Lilly is going places. To everyone else I hope you enjoy the photos!

This past Friday 12 North Photography was at the Rogue in Scottsdalefor Cupcake! Which is a monthly fetish themed party hosted by fashion designer Suzy Homewrecker. There was a live performance from Miss Krystle and Bent Self followed by some epic beats courtesy of DJs Dark Mark, Self Destrukt, Blonde Noize and Defense Mekanizm as well as Troop 666 Go-Go’s decked out in Hell on Heels Couture.
Who ever said the Devil wears Prada has obviously never been to this party. Here anything goes for clothes including but not limited to fishnets, pasties, leather, chains, wigs, you name it! Suzy Homewrecker’s ”Hell on Heels Couture” as seen in the photo above is a wild mix of Glam and Fetish giving us a much-needed break from the typical and cheesy Go-Go dancer outfits we have come to expect over the years. More than anything her clothing is both unique and stylish, so if your into alternative style I strongly suggest you check out her website!
It wasn’t just the fashion that made this an amazing party. Musically it was a powerhouse starting with an amazing performance from Miss Krystle and Bent self; who performed songs off of their latest albums. Miss Krystle’s beautiful singing voice and magnificent stage presence mixed with the vocally hard-hitting Bent Self made for an amazing show. DJs Dark Mark, DJ Self Destrukt, Blonde Noize and Defense Mekanizm closed the night with a truly brilliant assortment of music that kept the party hopping the whole night. Now when you match two amazingly talented DJ’s with beautiful Go-Go’s and an awesome unique crowd, then you’ve really got yourself a party to remember.
If you missed the Cupcake Fetish Party don’t kick yourself yet. It is a monthly event so you still have a chance to throw on your favorite fishnets and get out there. For more information about dates be sure to join Cupcake on facebook by following the link at the end of the post.
