JMD on the Cover of Sideview Magazine

After shooting with the amazing milliner Louis Mariette last November, finally out in its quarterly magazine is the lovely couture creator himself, Louis wearing a custome made Jeffrey Michael Design piece on the cover.

Made to match his supple brown hues of eyes skin and hair, this piece was conceived after an exciting meeting with the editors of Sideview magazine last fashion week between sips of coffee after shows at the ON/OFF venue at Chancery Lane.

Visualized for the cover, the artist Jeffrey Michael created the piece using his typical organic and found materials to create this soft, cozy shoulder zip bolero. The piece soft lights through its dense organic material to illuminate soft brown lighting over its wearing party.

Made to be slightly asymetrical and to be worn open on the cover, Louis made this piece come to life. Shot by the amazing Karl Lake, and brought to life in the garden area outside Louis's studio space, we spent the day with him getting the story of our lifetime from a true gentleman. Thanks to the Sideview team and luscious editor Dumebi !!!!

The Sterling8 Dynasty

A new Jeffrey Michael Design project has began on the up and coming artist Sterling8. Sterling has just released his first debut single "Hypnotized" which is cracking out and getting airplay all over the US, and recently just broke into the UK market. Being already remixed in Germany and Japan, the track has broken open new possibility for the artist. JMD and Sterling have partnered up to create iconic, couture, one of a kind pieces to showcase Sterling as a top celebrity artist.

JMD has currently been brought out to New York City to work on the full costume design for Sterling8's performance, media, and album cover which is being shot this coming weekend. Noteably being shot by Shelby Chan and hair and makeup by Theo Faulkner , this shoot holds much promise for the up coming single release. The costume piece is one that has been in the brain of JMD for several months over discussions with Sterling for the perfect one of a kind look that suited his personality and music type.

Decided to be titled 'organic futurism', Sterlings look is a contrast between soft organics like leather, feathers, and earthy materials, and hard sharp diamonds, black, and reflective materials. This best reflects both his high fasetto (seen in the new single hypnotise) and his soft gospel infused low range (soon to be seen in his upcoming 2nd and 3rd track).

Upcoming events for JMD and Sterling include a soundcheck with a very high profile celebrity (more info on that to come), and a very exciting selection process for the background dancers with celebrity choreographer Candice Franklin who has worked with Janet Jackson.

JMD is very excited to be working on this project with such amazing fellow team members and looks forward to the exciting array of key signature, iconic pieces commissioned by the Sterling8 dynasty.
