Smart Fitzjerrell



I’ve been working with Mary Kathryn Wells for the past few months developing a brand for her debut fashion collection, Smart Fitzjerrell. This project has been a dream for me- there was inspiration everywhere: the unique mix of pattern and color, the cuts of the clothing and most of all Mary Kathryn's sense of style and humor.

Evolving the brand came naturally, beginning with custom type, patterning and illustration then gaining speed once we refined the logo. Over the last two weeks we have produced both the photoshoot and 12 limited edition lookbooks that will be used to enter new designer showcases, allure buyers and prepare for the first season of this exceptional line.

Antonio Carusone shot the stunning mini-campaign (more to come in the fall) for Smart Fitzjerrell, working with Mary Kathryn as producer director and stylist, Moi as art director, the lovely Tara McCall modelling, Danielle Devine painting faces and our own Fiona Clark assisting on tambourine (a.k.a. light meter). Below are a few of my favorite selects from the shoot:













I will post more as we evolve the design for Smart Fitzjerrell’s Spring/Summer 2007 launch!

Great fashions - Fun, trendy, yet sophisticated.

Who's the model? She's gorgeous. Why haven't we seen her in Vogue?

The model is Tara McCall- if you can believe it this was her first time modelling EVER. She was so relaxed in front of the camera, no attitude- just a radiant natural beauty.

Tara currently works for a social justice organization ( correct me if I'm wrong!!)...so if you want to call Vogue, now would be the time!
