FROM MY PORTFOLIO - ALEXA SINGER - THE MAD HATTER

This photograph represented the month of March in the Elite Models - Fuji Film promotional calendar photographed by Douglas Dubler in 1985. Alexa Singer was a beautiful model and was on multiple Vogue covers at the time. My concept was for Alexa to be "The Had Hatter" and the stylist Vincent Whitfield found an artist named Renate Sturmer that made these head sculptures. The pink and grey patterned background was by Memphis, a design group out of Italy. The coat was a dyed pink sheared mink that was designed by Oscar de la Renta. The diamond and amethyst earrings were designed by Paloma Picasso for Tiffany. I was going for a offbeat makeup look so I shaded one eye with pink shadow and blended it down on to the cheek. I lined inside each lower eyelid with some purple pencil. I then used a bright yellow eye shadow on the other eye and finished off the look with a soft green lipstick.
