I had the recent pleasure of getting together with Mama and her “locas” to shoot the lookbook for her Holiday collection. Taking it back to a theme she visited in the early days of Mama, her collection entitled “Mi Vida Loca” takes inspiration from classic, west coast Americana style of the lives of L.A. Chola’s depicted in the movie “Mi Vida Loca”. The collection takes us from the Zoot Suit Riots of the 1940’s, to the low rider culture of today. I always love the research Gabriella puts into her collections. Paying close attention to detail in making sure her collections are true to the theme that inspires her. From the silhouettes of her pieces (can you say Derbay jacket!) to the artists she worked with, Gabriella never disappoints in taking you on a journey and telling a story as if she lived it herself. These are all qualities that come out in her collection every season and I look forward to whats to come! It’s always a pleasure to be the stylist to this star. Welcome to the West Siiiiiiiide!

Earlier this year we were honored and excited to help EyeASage launch her first solo mixtape, Married To the Hustle. Using some of the imagery from her mixtape, EyeASage printed up some t-shirts and they’re hot off the presses. They feature the beautiful photography of M.I.S.S. Amanda Lopez. You can get the tees here.

For the summer 2008 collection Mama takes you back to the Roaring 20’s when smoke-filled speakeasys and jazz clubs were the place to get a cocktail during Prohibition.  A time when flappers were chopping their hair into bobs and hiking their skirts up and showing their ankles – so scandalous! Mama celebrates this exciting period and gives it a contemporary twist.  The Mama’s Joint Look Book is laid out like a silent film and was shot at Milk Bar in San Francisco to give it that “secret spotâ€? feel. You can view the Look Book here.  Sit back, relax and turn the listen to all that jazz.Â

I’ve been very fortunate to work with talented and down-to-earth female photographers such as Amanda Lopez (Mama Clothing photo shoots) and Nina Parks (Married to the Hustle album cover) and the way these ladies are able to capture the feeling and raw beauty of a culture is simply awing.
As a graphic designer, it’s very important for me to work with someone who can interpret the world I’m not able to immediately capture through my art. Working with these ladies has inspired finished products that leave me filled with gratitude and satisfaction.
Today’s post is on Isabel Muñoz, who is one of the most important and exciting figures in photography today but I can honestly say that I see Amanda Lopez and Nina Parks both being introduced in that same way, in the near future. Read on…

This style was made specifically for Mama…always pushing the boundries, whatchoutnow!!! I’m thinking these ladies are up to something…world domination?? Me thinks yes.
