Thanks to Bronson delRio, Baby Bash and Pitbull and their teams for inviting Marc Wayne to be apart of this video. It's just one of those songs and I'm proud to be a part of it. Myself and the Marc Wayne design team had a lot fun with this.
When the director approached me about designing the piece for the DJ he wanted something simple, raw and sexy...oh and pink! It's exactly that. A simple cowl-neck halter drape.
This was my first involvement in designing for a music video. The top is actually 2 pieces; a hood and a separate cowl-halter-drape. We created it so that when worn it would appear to be a single piece but would give her the flexibility to dance hard in it without having a wardrobe malfunction. :)
It was simple construction that took us just a matter of hours to put together. After they told me what they wanted I sketched it out and upon approval one of our designers purchased the gorgeous swimsuit fabric, we cut the patterns, etc. etc.
We thought the gorgeous color and sequin would look fantastic on the screen. We were also tasked with doing all of the clubwear styling for the video shoot. I went to my friends at ROCintheWeb.com for this. Republic of Couture is where I get most of my clubwear, they are very exclusive and they only ever have 6 of everything (which I love). Most of what you see on the models in the video was supplied by them. (If you live in Chicago go see Rachel at the Woodfield Mall store...tell her Marc Wayne sent you.)
I was very proud to be part of this video shoot. Baby Bash and Pitbull were true professionals. They came in amidst their busy schedules and knocked out the takes in a matter of hours. The production team DELRIOT and the director Bronson delRio were fantastic to work with. They really gave me a lot of latitude in designing the piece for the main DJ character and styling all of the models. This was an amazing opportunity and I can't express my thanks enough. I also made great friends out of it. (THANKS BRON!) Here's a cool "making of" video.
