A trio of community.nyc artists, including photograper Paul Maffi, hairstylist Marco Santini and makeup artist Talia Shobrook breathed true New York life into a slew of Canadian exports.  Kathy Lo, Crista Cober, and Alana Zimmer were just a few of the fabulous females captured in Fashion Magazine's editoral entitled, "NY times".  The editorial presented the stories of a variety of woman who had traveled from Canada to the Big Apple to make it in the business of fashion.

The co-founders of The Coveteur, Erin Kleinberg and Stephanie Mark, were joined by fellow industry executives Maayan Zilberman, Emese Szenasy, Joanna Hillman, and Ellie Hawke to be a part of this inspirational spread.  Stylists Leslie Fremar, Natasha Royt and designer Olympia Bermann rounded out the cast of move making professionals. 

Each woman's personality and style was expertly highlighted by Maffi, Santini and Shobrook's talents.  Tammy Eckenswiller served as the premier stylist for this photoshoot.

Let's band together Marco slicks, parts and twists to achieve his look.
