"The Red Dress," and all it's inhabitants, started out as an attempt at a fashion calendar, but became far more than that, in memories, meetings, experiences and time it self. It's easily an accessory story, beauty story or merely viewed as a salute to beautiful African and Latino women! One dress; photographed backwards and forward, in different locations, presenting countless images, some still unreleased. Photography began in 1990 and went from New Jersey, Harlem, 5th avenue and as far away as Paris, France. The project turned out to be a labor of love, filled with frameable images...D.S

Two former top models from the 80's Wanakee Pugh of Wilhelmina and Shelya Huff-Hrenya of Elite Predicted Cindy Cohen's Victory as the winner of "She's Got the Look".............
The winner of TV Land Prime's "She Got the Look" has been named. The beautiful Cindy Cohen walked off with the prize- $100,000, a spread in SELF magazine, and a contract with Wilhelmina Models!! As a former Wilhelmina Model and Self magazine model myself,along with my business associate and former top model Shelya Huff-Hrenya of Elite,we predicted Cindy as the winner from the first episode. Just a few weeks we secretly hatched a plan to complete Cindy's likeness by the time the winner was announced.
Our inspiration was Cindy’s timeless beauty. When the work was complete, I named it “Les Yeux” (French for “the eyes”), as I could not think of a more beautiful pair of eyes than hers. In honor of Cindy’s crowning achievement, I will be donating a portion of the proceeds from the sale of Les Yeux to her favorite charity. For more information visit http://wanakeepugh.com, click on “Portfolios” and then click on “Figurative,” or visit EBAY and key in item #180391138487. Congratulations Cindy! You’ve Got the Look!!!
