A Peek Behind the Scenes of Tribeza’s Fall Fashion Photo Shoot

On a sultry, sunny day in early August, members of Tribeza and local purveyors of style gathered at the picturesque restaurant Honey Moon Spirit Lounge for an epic fall fashion shoot.

Found in Tribeza’s latest September Style issue, looks were handpicked from our favorite Austin boutiques by stylist Kelli Ponce. Featuring rich tones, silky textures and eye-catching accessories, each composed outfit was inspired by the equally striking cocktails offered at Honey Moon.

Models Jeanette Hoelscher and Jared Small explored the restaurant’s dreamy interiors while making each style a statement with the help of seasoned photographer Phil Kline. Meanwhile, hair and makeup stayed on point all day thanks to artists Willow Witten and Jonathan Krugman.

Be sure to check out the final results in the September magazine, and enjoy an inside look of how the stunning fall fashion feature came together with these colorful behind-the-scene moments below.
