What a fantastic creative collaboration between New York based stylist Mindi Smith and photographer Drew Sackheim who have taken kids fashion for this winter and created a new range of child superheroes with attendant special effects.
Both Mindi and Drew have longstanding experience in the kids fashion arena, check out their other work here for Mindi and here for Drew and created this exciting story just too late for magazine publication deadlines so I am very happy to show the shots here.
The hair and grooming was by Gigi Gommers at Ford Artists.
