NEW BEGINNINGS: NEW LOOK NEW BOOK DAY II SHOOT: BY Labels Or Love


Down to the Wire: R2R team does it again with the Season 2 edition of Reel2Runway coming out we thought it would be cool to document the transformation of my going from short and chic to Long and Lovely. With my custom Hair pieces in hand I am feeling pretty good about what my new look will bring to will now be my new Book.

I hadn't shot in some time after taking almost a year off of modeling to solely focusing on recruiting for Reel2Runway. With the R2R team bigger and stronger than ever, we are shooting our TV premiere pilot episode to be called NEW LOOK... NEW BOOK. A concept that only members.

Down to the Wire: R2R team does it again with the Season 2 edition of Reel2Runway coming out we thought it would be cool to document the transformation of my going from short and chic to Long and Lovely. With my custom Hair Units ready to transform at the flip of a wig, I am feeling pretty good about what my new look will bring to will now be my new Book of the Fashion World would know just by title. But for my non-industry followers and viewers, its their chance to see that behind the the fancy pics is a whole process to reinventing a model's image; introducing a model's transformations to the world.

With The NLNB Project now under way, having assembled a series of great photoshoots and an awesome collection of creative teams, it is now time to get the new book (another word for new portfolio) to match. Starting last week with Erwyn Loewen's Lingerie shoot, we knew that one was a great start to what will be a hot New Book.

Shoot number 2 is care of Labels or Love: A high end, designer brands consignment store in the uptown side of Toronto's Avenue Road and Lawrence. Its a beautiful boutique branch that caters to the affluent customers in its area as well as Fashion stylists, the enthusiasts and Fashion lovers who still get a great Retail deal, coming from all over the Greater Toronto Area.

Owned and operated by Meytal Algranti, a well known stylist and fashion curator, Labels or Love has had a great three year run. Now moving with the tides, Meytal has decided that Online Retail is her next big move for this Fashion Haven.

Brigitta Kogut, my super awesome gal pal and photographer, decided to help out by casting me as the new online face of Labels or Love.

Along with the creative contributions of long time friends make up artist Antonio Hines (Bobby Brown Make Up at Holt's), assisted by Brandon Edward and Senior Hair stylist Paul Comrie of Paul Comrie Salon, the look could only be completed with the genius editorial styling
of Meytal and topped off with an amazing frames shot by Brigitta herself. It was a dream team of note.

THE VIEWERS HAVE VOTED: RUNWAYRENEE 2012 NEW LOOK


RunwayRenee Has Crossed over into a whole new Commercial World this year. Highlights of the transformation coming soon....


Yes: the Verdict is in! My readers, BBM followers, Facebook followers have all spoken and Long hair Commercial Model Renee is the new direction I am taking for 2012.

I have been short for so long and I thought "time for a change." And surprisingly its growing on me. So I have tested out my look with a great photographer friend of mine Erwyn Loewen.

We did a lingerie shoot at his beautiful farm house and it was a surprising outcome. I haven't had long hair since I was 16 years old and I have never done lingerie so these were two new experiences for me.

there are many more pics to come so stay tuned for the before and afters and my newest video project with reel2Runway NEW LOOK... NEW BOOK.

BTS pics coming soon...
