Photographer Anne Menke and fashion stylist Haidee Findlay-Levin found inspiration from the photography of Tina Modotti and Edward Weston for their Mexico fashion shoot featured in Trunk\u2019s debut issue.\u00a0 Here are a couple of images to illustrate this fact, and below you can read a more detailed quote from Haidee.<\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

When considering this shoot, I began with a Tina Modotti photograph of Mexican workers shot from above. I loved how the sombreros, when repeated, formed a pattern. I was also drawn to the relationship that formed between Modotti and Edward Weston. We went in search of the extreme sunlight and shadows so prevalent in Mexico and in Weston\u2019s work, but two approaching hurricanes prevented us from capturing that effect in some of the shots.<\/em><\/h5>\n

In their work, Modotti and Weston also experimented\u00a0with flowers and nature as well as architectural interiors.\u00a0As such, we chose to juxtapose the natural landscape of beach, rocks,\u00a0and ocean with painted, bright colored surfaces.\u00a0The clothes incorporate these same contrasts of bold color\u00a0and texture, natural and man-made.\u00a0Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera also became inevitable influences,\u00a0particularly with their bohemian style and love of portraiture\u00a0and self-portraiture\u2013Kahlo\u2019s braided and adorned hair being the most obvious reference.<\/em><\/h5>\n
