Fashion shoot in an alley

Thursday, October 22, 2009 - 5:27 PM

For the second day of our fashion shoot for the fall/winter preview, we headed downtown to pose models in front of Reno’s urban scene Saturday.

Before the shoot, print manager Emily Stott, Ricardo Lopez, Tara Verderosa and I shopped at Forever 21 and GAP for clothing. Stott led the team in picking outfits, especially for the women. We decided on grey denim, a floral blouse and a military-style jacket. For the men, we picked some graphic tees, sweaters and scarves. Be sure to check out the section on Oct. 27 for a full look at what’s in style this season.

Here’s a look at Saturday’s shoot.
