MimiPlange
I met Mimi in Spring 2014 at a NY Fashion Week event. A common friend introduced us and I was immediately struck by her grace and unique style. I later discovered her amazing work and researched her brand - Mimi Plange - and soon we were planning a collaboration.
This image was shot on November 15, 2014. It is part of the project we ended up producing together called "Mimi & Me". For some reason, this image reminds me of Edouard Manet's 'The Fifer'.

Ibrahim is the President of Mimi Plange with whom I had the honor of collaborating for a project called "Mimi and Me". Ibrahim speaks French (well, Belgium French) and has proven to be the kindest and most wonderful guy to work with.
Ibrahim's glasses are very much part of who he is. The problem was of course the reflection of my bright and close strip boxes. But I ended up loving the layers of light, on the glass and the eyeballs.
