Jake Davis Test Shots: Eunice Lee of UNIS
January 25, 2012
From Jake's interview with GQ on how the shoot came to be:
Eunice has been traveling all over the world, spending her time predominantly between New York and Los Angeles as she designs the new collection, and expands her UNIS empire. We've been talking about shooting her 'Test Shot' since the series began. When I woke up to the snowfall this past weekend she was the first person that came to mind... She had to catch a flight back to L.A. early that afternoon so time was of the essence. We shot on Chrystie and Delancey (on New York's Lower East Side), which feels part city and part nature; it's a beautiful little nook. The whole thing seemed a bit serendipitous. Literally the night before I was talking about how much I missed the snow. One of the special things about "Test Shots" for me is the immediacy. Eunice is wearing an Isabel Marant coat, a vintage hooded sweatshirt, white UNIS t-shirt, vintage black jeans, and boots. Oh yeah, and the Hobo Queen lapel pin I gave her.
