Whimsy AF: The YRU X J. VALENTINE Collaboration
When the opportunity to collaborate with our friends at YRU Shoes crossed our path, we knew this was *NSynchronicity speaking to us and gladly welcomed the opportunity to create a little Whimsy AF magic.
After detailed discussions covering all phases of this shoot were finished, all that remained was to bring together our amazing team. Let the journey begin.
Our first stop on this journey was with friend and photographer Lizzie Rose Media. Her skillful eye and attention to detail always transcends our vision, bringing it to life through her photography. Lizzie always demonstrates her ability to connect her art and soul together as one which can always be seen in her work.
"You don’t stop playing when you grow old. You grow old when you stop playing ✨💓🌈🦋🌙 I resolved long ago to always look at the world with childlike joy - I refuse to become jaded. I resolve to remain open and curious.✨ this photoset represents that for me." - @LizzieRoseMedia
Then while gazing into a fire she rose like a Phoenix from the ashes. Model, performer, dancer, writer, and friend Phoenix Fire flow was next to join us on this journey. Her colorful spirit, and zest for life brought an amazing energy, and positive vibe that was infectious to all who crossed her path.
"Liquid love drops.
Drips down my soul.
Into a plethora of promises
Sealing a wish into the abyss The abyss of nothingness
I roam aimlessly until I find
That place where worlds collide
There’s nothing left to hide
My mind, it’s not mine
But a shrine for my ego to shine
There must be something more to this
I miss
Those days where all we had to do was kiss
Did those days exist?
Or was that simply a figment of my imagination
I’ve lost my concentration
My mind is beyond fermentation
The only thing that quiets the endless echoes
Is shitty techno
I can’t accept, no
I go to and fro
There must be more to know
A place in space where I can go
A place where I can escape the madness
A place with no sadness
Maybe that’s what I fear
I wish you were here
I love creating with my soul sister @lizzierosemedia and we started this thing where we do timed creative writing together. This was a random poem I wrote last night
Follow your heArt and you might end up in a pool of beanie babies." - @phoenix.fireflow ✨🌈🦋
In order for us to create our vision there was one final stop on this journey. This collaboration was going to require a "whimsidelic" touch. And for that we sought the sanctuary styling's of Bailey aka "The Space Queen."
Adding Bailey's passion to our collaboration made It apparent now more than ever that the cosmic tumblers were obviously clicking into place allowing the universe to reveal it was time for Lizzie Rose, The Space Queen, and Soul Palace to combine energies.
🌈✨A real rainbow dream finally come trueeee 🌈✨
"This unreal shoot with @lizzierosemedia & @soul_palace has been in the making for a few years now and finally came to fruition. At the beginning of my biz, I once admired Lizzie and her work from afar (I definitely low key freaked out when she started following me) and one day she DMed me proposing that we collab sometime (commence low key freak out).
She was in Vegas back then so it took a bit of time before we created anything together, but now she’s in SF (literally down the street from me) and is my #1 rainbow mama to dream up creative dreamscapes & present collaborative opportunities & support with my whole friggin’ heart. I’m so so lucky 🥰
So almost 3 years later we finally combined our artistic abilities and not only made magic in @soul_palace, but also collabed with 2 of my favorite alternative fashion brands @jvalentineinc & @yrushoes !!
I think we were just waiting for the cosmos to align and then the most beautiful, captivating, kindest, perfect model bb arrived and was the star of the shoot @phoenix.fireflow 😘😍😘😍😘
Stoked 💖🚀
