On Set: The Christmas Book at Bonneville Salt Flats

The Christmas Book 2012

Our creative team returned to Utah’s Bonneville Salt Flats for this year’s Christmas Book because the play of light makes it look like a vast snowscape. It is very remote, however, and this video shows how much effort it took to create the right conditions in a very unique and challenging location. It was absolutely gorgeous, unlike anything I’d ever seen before. From a styling perspective, the salt presented a bit of a challenge. The salt would get on everything and cake onto the bottoms of all the shoes, and if left on there long, would eat up the fabric and ruin them. We had to make sure all the merch went through a thorough cleaning before being packed back up! The salt even corroded our car battery from sitting out there all day, and we had to get a jump before heading back into town. But we had a really hard-working and fun crew, which I think resulted in a beautiful story for the 2012 Christmas Book.

Ways To Wear: Shorts From Day To Night

Shorts

Shorts are a must-have summer staple. They not only keep you cool, they look cool. And with the right accessories, a pair of shorts can be versatile enough to take you from day to night. A loose, casual silk shirt and a cross-body bag are perfect for daytime errands or outdoor activities. Then take the look up a notch for evening by adding a structured jacket or blazer, and minimize your must-haves with a sleek clutch. See credits after the jump.
