The Look Book
The Collaborative Look Book Portfolio of Emerging St. Louis Talent.
I’m Amber Joivon, the mind behind this collaborative portfolio. Being an artist in St. Louis is some what difficult. Why you ask? Well, there are a lot of artist here, though we all use different mediums. Mine being photography. What prompt this portfolio is that I was brainstorming how I can market my self as a fashion/editorial photographer. What can I do to separate myself from the other hundreds of fashion photographers here? How can I hold true to my abilities and showcase my talents? Hmmm. Bing! Create a look book! I look up to every successful, passionate entreprenuer who before they got where they are now, they’ve been told they’d never make it; that their passion and determination was a waste of energy on a dream that would never come true. I have been told that plenty of times for years. Well, here’s a piece of my dream in print! I’m the go to photographer for creative, engaging editorals for every designer, model and artist a like who has been told that same phrase. Throughout this portfolio, you will be introduced to a few of them and get to view their work through my eyes or “Lens” would be a better term. I also threw in a few famous fashion quotes that inspired me to follow
through with my dream and to keep doing what I’m doing. And do it well.
Enjoy!

Suzanne Lay
Bright colors, bold looks, enviable style. Suzanne Lay is a premium luxury women’s brand located in St. Louis, MO. We specialize in women’s ready to wear fashion known best for our seperates and dresses. We aim to offer our client a multitude of options within our collection allowing our women to mix and match within their current wardrobe. The inspiration for our collection comes from taking aspects of the roaring 1920’s and bringing them to our modern day fashion. The art deco era is the last historic era where all aspects of life moved in synchronization. A time where buildings reflected the automobiles and home decor. Where art reflected clothing, makeup and accessories. A time when women took pride in their appearance. A time when it seemed as if everything was ALIVE. We take reference from those times and bring it’s beauty to our collection today. Our inspiration ranges from the architectural buildings, to the glitz and glamour of the flappers and everything in-between. The focus for our collections is fit, form and function of garments in women’s lives. We take the time to select high quality fabrics and make sure that our garments fit the natural curves of a woman’s body with comfort being key . We focus on silhouettes that flatter the woman’s body and exude confidence. Our passion is to bring back the beauty of a lost era to our modern day. Our hope is that women love wear-
ing our collection as much as we love creating it.
All Our Best!

Naniie Cole
I am Naniie Cole, a nineteen year old born and raised Saint Louisian. I
am an aspiring actress and model. Acting has always been my num-
ber one passion, although I found beauty in the art of modeling. It’s all
about capturing emotion and explaining a designer’s vision all at the
same time. There is no ending to this road I’m on, only obstacles I’ve
overcame and have yet to meet. I plan to pursue my dreams forever
and overrule anything trying to stop me.

A beautiful dress may look beautiful on a hanger but that means nothing. It must be seen on the shoulders with the
movement of the arms, the legs and the waist.

Ebony Peebles
My name is Ebony Peebles. Born and raised in St. Louis, MO. I’m 24 years old, and have been modeling since 2012. Even though I’ve been modeling for a short period of time, I get so much grati-fication from it. I have the confidence, courage, and potential to become my very best at modeling and when I get in front of the camera, that is when I’m truly living in the moment. I’m currently a business major at UMSL and after I graduate, I want to continue fulfilling my dreams in hopes of joining a well respected agency.

Doca Trata
My name is Ebano Ferreiro, I am 29 years young and I am a fashion stylist. I always enjoyed playing dress up with my friends, family and even with my baby dolls. I am unique and original with my styling concepts with help from my artistic side. I love the feeling I get when a look comes together and show-cases a clients beauty and personality. From the many friends and family asking me for fashion tips and techniques, getting my personal dressing ad-vice before we step out for a night on the town; even sending me screen shots of pieces before they make their purchase to see if it had my seal of approval. I don’t just dress others; I live and breathe style and fashion. I sit back and conceptualize looks in my head daily. Once I came to the realzation that not only was style a significant part of my life, it’s who I am, I knew I had to jump in head first to live out my dreams and start my own fashion consulting business

Yoro Creations
Why I do what I do?
I am Yolanda and I am the owner/designer for the Yoro Creations Jewelry Line. I do what I do merely out of love and passion for beautiful and unique things. I’ve been creating for as long as I can remember; however, it was in 2012 that I decided to take what I do to the next level. By being a self-taught artist, my creativity has allowed me to go as for as my mind could wonder and that’s why I love to make eye catching statement pieces. For me, creating a design sometimes involves me seeing a beautiful garment at a local boutique, holding a faceted stone in the palm of my hand, or sketching a creation that I may have dreamed of, creativity can come from anywhere and the initial process, to the finished product, is very fulfilling and rewarding and is what inspires me to create the designs that I create. By using a variety of materials I am able to create a plethora of designs at will which allows my customers an array of choices to choose from for any occasion. I consider my style of design to be bold, eclectic, earthy, simple, and sometimes traditional but always, original. That is why my customers
are able to enjoy their original design now and for years to come.
Thank you and may God bless you
