Steve Elias is no stranger to working on editorial photoshoots. Named Editorial Stylist of the Year in 2010 by the North American Hairstyling Awards, Elias has a passion for creating beautiful looks that come alive on the pages of a magazine.
For his “Joy of Spring” photo shoot, Elias was inspired by the soft textures and strong shapes that have dominated fashion shows in 2011. “I wanted to follow the runway trends and create versatile looks that reflect them,” he says.
When he began to narrow his vision into a collection, shape was the name of the game. “The hard and soft textures combining into one shape was my inspiration—I’m all about the yin and yang.”
