This is a catalog of the 2012 Sunwear collections at Kenmark. Brands featured are Vera Wang, Penguin, Kensie, Jhane Barnes, Dana Buchman, Timex and Lilly Pulitzer. There are collages for each brand explaining the process of what goes into creating the frames. They mimic inspiration boards and are specific to each brand. The frame designers were involved to concept for each brand spread. All beauty shots of the frames as well as some of the product photography are photographed by me and are included in the spreads as well as at the end of some of the brand collections.

WILDE is a digest magazine that is dedicated to the infamous Oscar Wilde. I drew inspiration from his novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray. According to Wilde, “art serves no other purpose than to offer beauty.” Since magazines idealize the standard of beauty I thought it would be an appropriate way to reference the underlying theme found in the story. Wilde’s personal philosophy was that of a vain and controversial man and it showed through in his depiction of the protagonist in the novel, Dorian Gray. I referenced type studies I created in Letterforms I. Photography by Rachel Schwarz.

The Sunset limited is a play that involves only two nameless characters, designated “White” and “Black”, their respective skin colors. Offstage, just before the play begins, Black saves White from throwing himself in front of a train, the Sunset Limited. All of the action takes place in Black’s sparse apartment in urban New York, where the characters go after their encounter on the platform. Black is an ex-convict and an evangelical Christian. White is an atheist and a professor. They debate the meaning of human suffering, the existence of God, and the propriety of White’s attempted suicide.
