Not Ready Ready-Wear...

In early March, Ashlynn shocked me by inviting me along for a shoot in an unused office building in Zaandam for Ting Gong, a Chinese clothing designer whose designs combine technology with contemporary art. Holocube, her line of "Not Ready Ready-Wear," is made largely out of metal mesh. She was leaving the following day to exhibit her designs in China and wanted photos to take along. Unfortunately, four months later, we still don't have the professional shots, so here's a few that I took combined with some from Ting's Instagram account.

Everyone was really sweet; in fact, the only person that was opposed to me snapping pics was Ashlynn.

This metallic outfit was especially fascinating...

...when it started to glow under my phone's flash.

As you can see, these clothes are much more of an art statement than something that will actually be sold off the rack.

There were a lot of changes of outfits, but the shoot actually went quite quickly as the photographer was looking for the same basic pose with each new outfit. As usual, it was fun for me to see Ashlynn in action.
