The Classics Museum Photoshoot


We recently had the pleasure of working with Classics Museum on their ad for our Party themed issue and here we celebrate the lovely ladies involved in the ad and learn a little more about them and the great clothes they got to wear as part the shoot. We couldn't very well have hosted a party shoot without some sort of party food and our models got to enjoy the food you see on the table which included some homemade Deviled Eggs and a particularly retro treat, the Cheese Ball. They also kept themselves fresh courtesy of some delicious drinks from Foxton Fizz. 

Tiffany from Tiffany Curtis Photography took the brilliant photo you see in the magazine as well as the ones below.

The pure elegance of the outfit. I loved how the fabric flowed from multiple angles, each of which accentuated not only garment but my curves. The ruby red was the perfect tone - not too blue, not to warm! The dress is perfect for any black tie occasion.
