She had her bath in the washing machine. Got her face depilled. She had to have a hair cut, her hair was put on rollers to curl under. I reweaved her part, and put it in a top knot. I restored her makeup to it's orgininal colors. I think she looks happy now, but she needs some clothes :-)

House of Moda have been reweaving, recycling and reigniting the connection between fashion, parties and the underground Paris scene for a year and a half now. For their event on March 30 at la Java, they called on me to take photos of the clubbers, posing them as a very special version of the ‘Classe Mannequin’ (Think ‘Melrose Place’ or ‘90210’, but about teenaged models and French).
