About Chris Callaway:
Chris Callaway was born and raised in the heartland, Oklahoma. Callaway's father lived in Europe throughout most of his youth, affording Callaway the opportunity to travel between Europe and the U.S. and to experience both cultures. Callaway's experiences between the two continents have profoundly influenced his artistic views. Callaway first discovered his love for photography in college, when he paid off a security guard to use a darkroom to develop photos. Callaway graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree from Brooks Institute of Photography.
Callaway has had a colorful career in photography, working in a variety of different arenas. He has been connected to the music industry, photographing several rock bands such as The Knux and Velvet Revolver, and his work has been published in magazines like Revolver and Classic Rock. Callaway has worked for the fashion designer Robert Rodriguez, helping to shape Rodriguez's vision for his collection's look book. Callaway's biggest treat was when he got to work alongside celebrity Italian photographer, Roberto D'Este, photographing celebs such as Rihanna and Jaime Pressly. Callaway occupies a large studio in Downtown L.A. where he works and lives. For more information about Chris Callaway, please visit: www.callawayimages.com.

ABOUT LINDA LOUDERMILK:
Visionary couture and eco-designer Linda Loudermilk has been named by "W" Magazine as one of the top 20 innovators to watch. Coined as the "Vivienne Westwood of eco" by Elle Magazine, Loudermilk has spearheaded the creation of a new, luxury eco™ lifestyle, blowing old concepts of environmental living out of the water. Through her revolutionary designs and radical spirit, Loudermilk has redefined sustainability as something alluringly sexy, fun and edgy.
According to Loudermilk, nature is the original punk. Her inventive style packs an iconoclastic punch from noirish suits - to sculpturally sexy shift dresses - to jeans cut deadly on the hip. She uses organic textiles that are woven from natural sources like bamboo, SeaCell® (seaweed) and Ingeo™ (corn). She collects scraps of lace and other fine fabric remnants from European sources, and weaves them into her fashions. Loudermilk has found a way to personalize the beauty of the earth through her designs, by honoring its natural gifts. Loudermilk's fine designs are passionately hand finished and mostly made in the USA. For more information about Linda Loudermilk, please visit: www.lindaloudermilk.com.
