Instagram, suggested we meet over coffee and it was instantly clear we were on the same page, creatively.I had prepared some mood boards; one of which was focused on vintage beauty advertisements.
Julia was interested, but as we started looking at the vintage ads we could immediately see that they were very white and cisgender.
There were so many types of people that were missing. As creatives living in New York City with beautifully diverse peer groups, we knew that inclusivity and representation were important messages for us.We decided that we wanted to work together on a project to re-create ads from the '70s, with Julia as photographer and myself as make-up artist.
