Our Favorite Photo Shoots
Dystopia Meets Utopia The year is 1955. The citizens of Florala, Alabama, start another small-town day. The birds chirp happily, and a cool breeze makes ripples flutter across Lake Jackson. South Walton Fashion Week 2016 winning female model Bella DeLeón, photographed by the incomparable Carlo Pieroni, is the picture-perfect example of retro chic while male winner Jordan Canamar is her mysterious love interest from the future. (Pieroni and his wife, Carol Wilson, were also judges for the SWFW 2016 model competition.) VIE was proud to sponsor SWFW 2016, presented by the Cultural Arts Alliance of Walton County at 30Avenue and Grand Boulevard Town Center in South Walton, Florida. Since the inception of SWFW in 2013, VIE offered its winning Emerging Designer and Sheila Goode Models of the Year a fashion spread in the annual Culinary and Couture Issue (formerly Food and Fashion). Read the not-so-classic love story in “Dystopia Meets Utopia” in our March/April 2017 issue.
