Photoshoot Outtakes!

Here at metrostyle we take pride in the beauty and poise of our models as well as the professionalism present at our photoshoots. But that doesn't mean that every so often we don't have a little fun when we're shooting for the catalog or the website. I thought it'd be fun to share a few of the goofy and fun moments captured at some of our recent shoots. Let us know in the comments which one of the three you like best.

America’s Next Top Model--Cycle 12!

The new season of ANTM starts tomorrow at 8 PM & I’m super-excited!! I can’t get enough of this show. I watch the re-runs on Saturdays, so obviously I need to get more of a social life. There’s nothing better than sitting in front of the TV with my big bowl of ice cream & watching the models do their thing. I checked out the contestants online & my two faves are Teyona and Aminat. (1st two below) My opinion may change after the season starts but right now I think one of those girls is going to be America’s Next Top Model.

Who do you think will win this season?

Jessica in the City

I was so excited to hear that one of our metrostyle models, Jessica Hart, was on TV! I had never checked out the MTV show "The City" but after hearing at the office that Jessica was on it, I had to tune in. The quasi reality show takes place in NYC and is a spinoff of the hit show "The Hills". Unfortunately, I was disappointed as she only made a cameo appearance 10 minutes or so into the episode I watched. She is standing behind the main characters in the club scene at the cutting room. But if you are interested in seeing a metrostyle model star siting--check out this weeks episode on MTV.com she has "lines" this time!

The City - MTV Shows

Just an illusion?

As an employee of metrostyle - I get to hang out with all the beautiful models that we work with… not really! My interaction with them is limited to their pictures on our catalogs and website. What is interesting to me however is to see pictures of our customers in their favorite metrostyle clothing (see reviews for pics). It made me wonder how people would react to seeing everyday people in their favorite brand's clothing instead of just “good-looking” models all the time. What do you think? Should companies switch it up every now and then and show us models that we can actually relate to?

The New Spring Collection Is Here

Wow, have you seen the new metrostyle catalog? I have to say, we look great and I’m not saying that just cause I work for them - it’s true. The product and creative look fabulous! The models look better than ever, especially Dani Evans – love the new hair – she’s so metrostyle!

There are lots of wear now styles in this new catalog, and also trendy looks for the spring like fun bright colored charmeuse and color blocked dresses and tops. There are also some great tropical prints and ruffle detail tops – both must haves for this spring. There’s something for everyone!

One of my favorite looks is the denim bell bottom jumpsuit – so hot! Right now it’s one of our top sellers – seems to be everyone else’s favorite too. What do you think – could you rock a jumpsuit? If head to toe denim is not your thing, how about a colored twill jumpsuit like the red one below? My only objection to the jumpsuit – it makes it a little harder when you really have to go -- ladies, you know what I mean.

Who's that girl?

Ever seen someone that is so beautiful, you just have to say

“Bless Your Mama” and “Bless your mama’s mama!”

Yes that’s how I feel about Denise Vasi. She’s made her model debut with metrostyle in Spring 09.
But we all know her as Randi Morgan from All My Children.

Oh my! Oh my! She’s reminds a little of Stacey Dash, don’t you think?

It’s official I have a girl crush.

Top Model: And then there were four…

As you know metrostyle has used some of the winners from America’s Next Top Model. Well, I’ve been a fan of the show since cycle 1 – the girls get wilder and Tyra gets kookier every season. Did anyone watch the show last night?

Last night the remaining five contestants were challenged to travel by boat through the streets of Amsterdam to their go-see appointments. Five designers waited as the girls frantically tried to see as many of them as possible in a short amount of time. Whoever got the most bookings, and made it back in time was the winner.

As usual, Marjorie was a nervous mess…the poor thing….she spent most of her time running around in circles and only made it to 2 go-sees. Samantha was too commercial for the designers and Elina had too many tattoos. Analeigh tried too hard, but ultimately won the challenge - $18,000 worth of designer merch - because McKey was disqualified for being 5 minutes late…too bad for her because she had the most bookings of all.

Then later in the show, the one and only fierce and ferocious Tyra photographed the girls herself. Each girl had 2 shots – one not made up and the other all dolled up. At eliminations, Miss Jay practically undressed Elina. Come to find out, she’s only 18! Just barely legal, but I guess that wasn’t enough – she was voted off. Sorry Elina, you are not America’s Next Top Model.

And by the way, can we make it through just one elimination without Tyra posing...please?

Miami, Miami… You’ve got style!

This fall our creative team headed to Miami, to kickoff the Spring 2009 catalog season. As the days grow colder and shorter in the northeast, they could think of no better place to photograph our new sexy summer swimwear and metroblues styles. After all Miami is known for its blue skies, sunshine and sands by the mile… yeah right!

While most of the swim photo shoot, photographed at Glass Haus Studios, had beautiful weather… during the last few days, shot on Miami streets, the weather proved challenging. The models including ANTM, Dani Evans, were forced under cover to preserve their hair and makeup!


At the end of their long days of shooting, the creative team retreated to the Mayfair Hotel in Coconut Grove. However, they were far too tired to enjoy the hotels amenities.

For an insiders view of a metrostyle photo shoot check out our video backstage pass of the Fall 2008 shoot and look for your copy of the new Spring Transition catalog coming in mid January!
