Rockwell...Backstage...

For a few days last weekend, Rockwell was transformed from an educational prison to a buzzing photo studio filled with designers, merchandisers, models, photographers, hair and makeup artists, and creepers (enter: me). It was really exciting to wander around the building and see so many people working together to create these beautiful images.

"It's more interesting to have just a picture of a small detail-then you can dream the rest around it." -Dries Van Noten
