The lighter side of model Mackenzie Drazan

Model Mackenzie Drazan has just wrapped her amazing F/W 2012 season. A tally of 4 countries, and walking in a record 64 fashion shows!

Mackenzie has drawn everybody’s attention in New York at Calvin Klein, Proenza Schouler, Prabal Gurung, Ralph Lauren and in Paris at Chanel, Balenciaga, Christian Dior, Louis Vuitton and Valentino. In Milan and London she didn’t miss the most prestigious shows, and walked in Dolce & Gabbana, Marni, Fendi, Bottega Veneta, Jonathan Saunders and Mulberry.

She is now a serious fashion model: Vogue editorials, serious clothes, serious photographers – no smiling allowed!

One of strangest parts of my business, is seeing young girls like Mackenzie ending up on the covers of Vogue Italia. But last Spring, only months before her Euro debut, I shot Mackenzie for Eliza magazine. Photographed at her family’s horse ranch outside SF, the model was truly in her ‘natural’ environment.

The reserved teen spent time wandering the property, and hanging with her closest friends; her horses, and her little sister.

Woodside Wonderful

So excited to share some images from a recent collaboration I did with stylist Peggi Jeung, and hair + makeup boy-wonder Brynn Doering. We shot on a private estate in Woodside, one of the Bay Area’s most spectacular locations.

After a long, dark and rainy winter, spring in a place like Woodside can make you positively giddy.
