Dystopia Meets Utopia

Cover Shoot featuring South Walton Fashion Week Winners 2017

“A girl drives into town. She’s new—a mystery to the townspeople, who love to talk. She stops in at Smith’s Fillin’ Station for a Coke, smiles at the attendant. But it’s the stranger approaching from the south who catches her eye.” This time-travel love story was the brainchild of Lisa Burwell and Tracey Thomas, with narration written by Jordan Staggs and photography captured by Carlo Pieroni. The VIE team took over the small town of Florala, Alabama, for a day as we honored the winners of South Walton Fashion Week 2016 with a retro-meets-futuristic cover shoot. We ended the day by piling into the gorgeous red 1955 Chevy Bel Air for a celebratory photo.
