Boys On Tour || Adidas Show

This past weekend the boys of Elite London journeyed all the way to Nuremberg, Germany for the Adidas Show, along with our amazing mens new faces booker Amelia, whose job it was to tame the little monkeys. The boys worked hard and when they had some downtime Amelia managed to grab some snaps of them chilling in the sun. Check out the Facebook album here, for more backstage shots from the Adidas show.

Caterina Ravaglia || Grit Magazine

Caterina Ravaglia is cover star of the latest issue of Grit Magazine. She is also star of this beautiful  accompanying editorial. Is This It? Models Review summed up Caterina perfectly "It happens pretty often with Caterina, and I guess it means something. It’s because of what she can express, she’s… somehow hypnotic, she really can draw your attention, and she does in such a peculiar way, not because of a fresh or gorgeous beauty, she does in her own unique way. That doesn’t mean she’s not attractive, absolutely, in fact I love her femininity a lot, she’s so young and at the same time interesting, inscrutable, enigmatic." They took the words right out of our mouth!

Infinity Fountain Installed - Body Broken.

Our new infinity fountain!

This week my hubby and I went hog wild and we purchased 2 new fountains for our small Los Angeles backyard. We went to 6 different shops around LA and the Valley. We saw many many great designs....but we kept going back to the Le Beau Modern Colonial Earthenware fountains from Vietnam.  We loved that they looked like yard sculptures when not in use and the colors offered so much pop!

We spotted them at our first stop, Jackalope Pottery and after a day of looking we found our way back to Jackalope.  Next was decision time.....We were planning on purchasing one fountain and we fell in love with two.  The awesome saleswoman form Argentina, who was an amazing help and very patient with our insanity of choosing a design, offered us a 25% discount if we purchased more than one.

So what did we do????

We got two!

We purchased a large blue infinity fountain (pictured above) and a tall skinny burnt orange and slate basin fountain (I'll be posting on that one later).

The installation of the infinity style was a back-breaker - but well worth it!

Rory Torrens & Morgan Hurst || By Benn Healy

Here at Elite there's nothing we love more than a shoot that stars both our boys & girls, especially when it's these two beauties. We were delighted when our very own Benn Healy from our Art Department took to the streets with Morgan and Rory and this is what they came up with. And frankly we all love it!
