A few months ago I received a phone call offering me the opportunity to be part of a shoot in the Salt Desert. It was one of those very unusual occasions, similar to getting the invitation to the Mc Queen show last October, where a few weeks before I had mentioned to a friend my wish for this to happen,... but I never ever ever dreamed it would.
German Collins, photographer originally from Argentina and now based in Ireland, pooled a group of Irish designers and resources to make this shoot a reality. With very little time and many elements against him. ..including distance and altitude...he managed to come back with this wonderful shoot which was featured by Constance Harris in the Independent yesterday.

Oh lovely! That first dress is ethereally magnificent. What a brazenly beautiful location.
