Seattle Goodwill Glitter Sale, Part 2: Garments

October 23, 2016 by bretdossphoto

Before getting into this Part 2 post, let’s just recap from Part 1, Jewelry & Accessories: this fall marks the 33rd anniversary of Seattle Goodwill’s Annual Glitter Sale as well as my 3rd anniversary of photographing for the campaign. If you are not familiar with the Glitter Sale, it goes sort of like this: each fall, the Dearborn location of Seattle Goodwill hosts a huge sale of donated designer fashion pieces — jewelry, accessories, and garments/textiles. This year, the sale is held on Nov […]

December #teamVIVA Cover & Editorial

December 8, 2014 by bretdossphoto

For our December party-styles-for-the-holiday-season themed cover/editorial shoot with #teamVIVA model Michelle Green, VIVAFASHIONISTAS Fashion Editor Alyssa Cave and I collaborated on the concept, looks, and the set design. She also did superb hair, make-up, and styling at the shoot. Local designer Camille Goodman graciously allowed us to use her sleek, chic Yuki dress for this shoot. I had first seen this when she wore it at the NYFA Fashion Show at SAM, and it was a jaw-dropping, audible gasp moment, and I’ve been wanting to photograph it ever […]

Gergana, Jordanah, & Jaleh

August 24, 2014 by bretdossphoto

Another #teamVIVA shoot, another wonderful time spent with terrific people. I met up with teammate Gergana Ivanova to do an on-location walkabout shoot, featuring Jaleh designs. Gergana had selected two of her favorite Jaleh designs, and showed up ready to shoot in the first look. Jordanah arrived with the second look, and we got started. Jordanah asked if she could stay, and we said “of course!” as we are always happy to have the designer on hand for any of […]

Just After Noon to Just After Midnight with Katy Flynn & Elizabeth Rhoades

July 23, 2014 by bretdossphoto

If you ever get a chance to work (or just hang around) with Katy Flynn, take it! You won’t regret it. I’ve been fortunate enough to know Katy for a few years now, and we have worked together before. Katy is a talented fashion designer, emerging into the Seattle market and beyond with creative, innovative garments that are simultaneously stunning, effortless, and practical. Many try to achieve that trifecta, but few make it happen as effectively as Katy has with this […]

Paper Meets Fashion, VIVAFASHIONISTAS Meets BAM

March 9, 2014 by bretdossphoto

You may recall that, while ‘networking’ is not an activity I seek out, the Seattle Chapter of Fashion Group International hosts events that are well worth flexing out of my comfort zone. Another such event was held on February 11th: The Bellevue Arts Museum hosted a private tour for our FGI Chapter: Stefano Catalani, BAM’s Director of Art, Craft, & Design, gave us a personalized tour of the exhibit he himself had curated: A World of Paper, A World of Fashion […]

FORBIDDEN! The 6th Annual Forbidden Fashion Show

November 27, 2013 by bretdossphoto

Being a part of the VIVAFASHIONISTAS team has a number of benefits, chief among them being able to collaborate with all of the team members. Another is the ability to represent VIVA and cover exciting events (e.g. Steve Madden’s appearance). So when the opportunity to cover Metropolitan Fashion Week’s 6th Annual Forbidden Fashion Show held in The Loft at Russell’s, I jumped at the chance, rearranged my schedule, packed my gear, and got there early! After all, how often is one […]

September 28, 2013 by bretdossphoto

Designers from the New York Fashion Academy presented looks inspired by the exhibit “Future Beauty: 30 Years of Japanese Fashion” at the Seattle Art Museum on Thursday, Sept 5th. (You may have seen my previous blog post). The show has been a huge hit, receiving a lot of well-deserved recognition and buzz. VIVAFASHIONISTAS contacted me after seeing images from the show wondering if I would mind if they used my images for an article–of course I didn’t mind, I was honored! It was a […]

September 10, 2013 by bretdossphoto

Designers from the New York Fashion Academy presented looks inspired by the exhibit “Future Beauty: 30 Years of Japanese Fashion” at the Seattle Art Museum on Thursday, Sept 5th.

Additionally, the staff at SAM were especially helpful and welcoming. Kevin Higinbotham, Manager of […]

Katy Flynn

April 5, 2013 by bretdossphoto

One of the best things about being a photographer, as it turns out, is meeting and getting to know so many terrific people. As I think about it, that may actually be THE best thing. Being a photographer enables me to cross paths with people I would have never otherwise met. Fashion designers, clients, models, hair and makeup artists, videographers, photographers…. This is the second in an ongoing series of posts about some of those people. Katy Flynn I first […]
