We have teamed up with the marketing powerhouse, The Nouveau Image, to help produce one of the latest and trendiest fashion shows Philadelphia has seen!

Hosted by Philadelphia Eagles' own Stewart Bradley this fashion show Features designs by Project Runway's (Season 5), Korto Momolu.  Her tribal-influenced collection features bright colors combined with vibrant earth tones to bring a new spin to fashion. Momolu's latest handbag venture makes its debut exclusively in Dillard's online store.


With Union Trust Steakhouse providing the venue, Korto providing the wardrobe, and finalists from America's Next Top Model wearing her designs, it was only appropriate that Tommi Lifestyle stepped in to provide hair and makeup as well as our signature rockstar photography.

We're very pleased and honored to work besides such talented and ambitious individuals!

Pictures coming on our next update!

After listening to Coline ( a personal friend of our makeup artist at Tommi), we knew we had to capture her for our portfolio.  Blending soft facial lines, subtle makeup, and vintage styling together we took the Curtis Institute educated Harpist and created her headshots as a homage to the distinct look of 60's and 70's photography.

We opened our doors on May 19^th in conjunction with WHERE Magazine, to host local concierge and wedding service vendors for a private party tour & reception.

More details after the jump.


 




 
  
   

The main party took place on the salon floor.  What a beautiful night! Guests toured the building and mingled with the staff here at Tommi while taking in the relaxing ambiance of our salon & spa. Our guests had the chance to enter and win two $500 spa package giveaways. Congratulations to Healy and Jen! Of course a party at Tommi wouldn’t be complete without a photo op! Pictures were snapped at the end of the red carpet on our elegant reception floor.

Priscilla of Boston

This season’s most sought after wedding gowns were shot in true Tommi fashion courtesy of Priscilla of Boston. Intricate florals and soft lace details showed up beautifully on Canon's 5d Mark II.

Dress designed by Melissa Sweet
Styled by Christopher String
Hair and Makeup by Linda Zatta
Model: Julie Citro

We approached Ardmore's Priscilla of Boston, and asked if they were willing to loan two dresses to us to be photographed on several of our models.  They graciously allowed us to hand pick two dresses and take them home that day.

Julie Citro, a Miss USA contestant and longtime friend of our photographers at Tommi, jumped at the opportunity to wear some of Priscilla of Boston's nicest dresses. After an hour of hair and makeup (by our very own Linda Zatta), she was ready to start shooting.

To view these and other gowns visit our Brides Section under the Photography Page.

I had the pleasure of meeting Jill from Ardmore's Priscilla of Boston location, and after seeing the location and selection of dresses, I knew we had to take a couple of these beautiful dresses home and photograph them.

After choosing two of the dresses (designed by Melissa Sweet) we took them home and were now faced with the task of selecting models for the dresses.

After much deliberation we settled on 4 models: Laura Mattey, Krista Kaliner, Jacqueline Ward, and Falon Shrokman.

With Linda Zatta on makeup and Bruce Slemmer on hair, this was sure to be a knockout of a shoot!

Julie Citro, this year's representative for Delaware in the Miss USA Pageant held in Las Vegas, graced the grounds of Tommi for a week, shooting and prepping for the competition.

More details after the jump.



Julie accompanied by former Miss DE USA titleholder (2007), Nicole Bosso -- the pair found their niche at Tommi, enjoying everything the salon and spa has to offer.
