CAPTAIN'S CLOSET...

WE'RE BACK! ...THE FASHION SHOOT EXPERIENCE RETURNS FOR FIRST TIME IN EIGHT YEARS...

 

We're coming stateside in Spring 2025! Shoot with us at Captain Barnes' House in New York with a world-class styling team to create one-of-a-kind imagery...


With the experience of our past stateside shoots in a Brooklyn Brownstone, Hamptons Villa, Dutchess County Victorian Mansion, Bel Air Palace and a Yonkers Castle, we are now taking on an unrivalled destination where the sophistication of the old world meets the exciting and bountiful present... the haunting, gothic revival Captain Barnes' House, NY!

A LOCATION OOZING OPULENCE...

Built in 1853, Captain Barnes is one of the last remaining homes of Captain's Row, looking out on to the North Shore waterfront in Mariners Harbor, Staten Island. A mansion originally built for an oysterman is an outstanding testament to the past, and most importantly, a resplendent and vibrant, alchemical space. The Captain Barnes is an immersive, ever-evolving, multi sensory wonder, enjoyed by elites and creatives from around the globe.

As a landmarked mansion, its history is felt on every level, from the once speakeasy ground floor to the roof level cupola where Captains would look over their bay. Its weathered stucco façade is Italianate in its style with gothic revival and romantic features, like an old world charm found on the beach. 

A haunted aura is met with a transcending quality of lavish personality through the home's eclectic decor, where every room holds a unique feeling and story. Throughout the mansion you will find a variety of textured walls, some charred from a fire which struck the house decades ago; all vibrant and layered from personalities throughout time.

STYLED BY THE IMPECCABLE LEONID...

We are delighted to have the returning honour of Leonid Gurevich styling our entire shoot (http://www.leonidgurevich.com). 

Leonid Gurevich is an NYC-based ad-campaign, E-commerce, and editorial stylist, fashion photographer, lecturer and speaker. Gurevich is best known for creating strong fashion looks with luxury flair, characterized by an extreme degree of individuality. His editorial work has appeared in numerous print publications including The New York Times, Martha Stewart Weddings, New York Weddings, US, and HELLO. He has styled fashion presentations, look-books, advertising campaigns for bridal and eyewear brands. 

We are incredibly privileged to have worked with Leonid on our past New York and LA FSEs including Opulent Elegance in Greystone Court and Crazy Couture in the Hamptons, also in creating our bestselling fine-art image of all time, Swan Lake, shot live in Seattle in 2014.

He is simply a tour de force - creative wunderkind, solid to the core, intricately connected, passionately effusive, RARE kind soul of the fashion world! He is simply never a letdown. With Leonid's now gargantuan New York industry knowledge and expertise we will put together a grand team of FIVE stunning models, talented MUAs, designers and hairstylists for this shoot.
