Speaking of Cass Bird: recently behind the lens for Maiyet's S/S 2012 campaign, featuring Daria Werbowy and shot at Floyd Bennett Field. Love the light.

Cover for photographer Cass Bird's new book Rewilding.

In the summers of 2009 and 2010, Bird traveled to Sassafrass, Tennessee, with a group of young women, a wardrobe of diaphanous dresses and a camera. These women - studio assistants, friends, or women cast from the streets of New York - had been selected by Bird for their ease with their sexual identities, but also for their relative awkwardness in front of the lens. The result was Rewilding, a joyous portrait of modern femininity and a frolicking celebration of women's camaraderie.

Book signing tonight 6-8pm at LEADAPRON (8445 Melrose Place, Los Angeles, CA, if you happen to be in the vicinity). More info at OH WOW

I've been meaning to post about the cover story in the current issue of Dossier...

...Freja Beha Erichsen styled by Gillian Wilkins and photographed by Cass Bird.

The colors are great and they capture a sense of early Fall nicely.

Over six issues Dossier has become one of my favorite magazines – it's more about creating and/or reflecting a feeling than it is about fashion. I don't love all of the design but I appreciate the thought behind it and it's never boring. The photography is great and there's a good variety of stories – I always look forward to seeing what they do next.

In Seattle you can find it at Bulldog News, and check out dossierjournal.com for more info.
