This fashion image was shot in Carate Urio, a small town on Lake Como close to the Italian - Swiss border, best known for having a famous American actor living close by named George. Jessica is sitting on the rock wall covered with ivy. The day was a solid overcast that later turned to rain.

The road we are on here is one I have driven on many times when I lived in Como in 1985/86. For decades it was the only road to get around the lake but some 10 years ago or so, the government built a road that higher above the lake, much wider and cut tunnels so now instead of stop & go traffic, which was the norm, you can drive 30-50 mph. So this road it not heavily traveled during the week. On week-ends with great weather the road will be slow due to the large amount of traffic.

The make up and hair stylist was Dwight Eubanks, from Atlanta, GA USA and the wardrobe stylist is Mariachiara Ragazzoli (Mary) from Milan.
