My recent work featured in Vrag Magazine

I recently did a shoot with photographer Ian Sheh http://www.iansheh.com/ and stylist Peter Ty Hoang http://www.thestarvingstylist.com/ for V-Rag Magazine. I had so much fun on this shoot. Myself and the photographer came up with the concept, scouted locations, and the images came out better than we expected. Our model Fraser was Gorgeous...so he made our job very easy. I did simple grooming on him. And the stylist did an awesome job on wardrobe which brought the whole look together. Here are the images from the cover and the spread.

Tom Ford Private Blend Lip Colour

Now available in the UK, Tom Ford’s lipstick collection will debut June 1st in the U.S., with select distribution. I am determined to get my hands on a few colours...

Tom Ford’s take on twelve classic lip colors, from bare nude to fire red to deep brown, re-imagined in a modern and authoritative way. Formulated with rare and exotic ingredients including soja seed extract, Brazilian murumuru butter and chamomilla flower oil, the luxurious formula has an ultra-creamy texture for an incredibly smooth application. Specially treated color pigments are blended to deliver pure color with just the right balance of luminosity.
