Hilary Anderson | Billy Rood | The Creatives | 'The Abandoned'
/
Ignoring these sparkly shoes styled by Helen Berkun was virtually impossible. We followed the trail to Billy Rood’s charming, yet desolate, editorial ‘The Abandoned’ featuring Hilary Anderson and introduced in early 2011.
Chicago-based Billy says this about the story:
- Well this particular story was inspired by a town called GARY, IN. It was known to be the murder capital of the world, and is pretty much abandoned. Most of the town is spread apart with abandoned buildings everywhere. I went to check it out one day and decided to use it for a fashion story. I know from the feel of the locations I wanted the story to be pretty but extremely creepy and mysterious at the same time. Thought the contrast of soft and pretty to the abandoned and the decaying buildings would be interesting.
