West Coast Leather San Francisco was delighted to be featured in an editorial photoshoot with Model: Laura Giraudi in American Fashion Designer and Brand Founder Skip Pas in his:
"Futuristic Vision of the Black Leather Blazer"
We are all excited to see one of our Futuristic black leather zip blazer. This was never captured like the natural beauty overlooking the Eiffel Tower and take center stage in Paris, France, all through the creative vision and lens of photographer Paul Tocatlian.
This photoshoot features our Black Zip Futuristic Blazer, a bold leather design that brings together fashion, structure, and a modern edge. Photographed in Paris, the piece takes on an entirely new personality against the city's timeless architecture and unmistakable fashion atmosphere. The model styled the day with her French Lingerie with burgundy accents and matching stretch leather pants.
Beautiful Laura Giraudi was the model for this striking editorial, bringing an incredible presence and attitude to the photographs. Her look perfectly complements the architectural lines and futuristic character of the blazer, creating images that feel both sophisticated and fashion-forward.
Our connection with Paul Tocatlian makes this photoshoot especially meaningful. We first met Paul approximately three years ago, and what began as a professional relationship quickly developed into a wonderful friendship. Over the years, we have enjoyed getting to know Paul and seeing his creativity and passion for photography continue to grow with featured photoshoot at exotic locations around the fashion world.
When Paul told us he would be traveling to Paris to visit his family and asked if we could provide some West Coast Leather pieces for upcoming photoshoots, we were thrilled. Paris is one of the world's great fashion capitals, so the opportunity to have our California-designed leather fashion photographed there was particularly exciting.
We selected pieces that we felt would work beautifully with Paul's creative style, and seeing the results from this Paris shoot has been incredibly rewarding. The Black Zip Futuristic Blazer demonstrates the versatility of leather fashion—it can be bold and rebellious, yet polished and sophisticated at the same time.
At West Coast Leather, we have always believed that leather is more than simply a material. It is a medium for creativity, personal expression, and design. Our collections are created in California and have been part of the fashion world since our inception in 2003. Seeing our designs travel from our San Francisco boutique to creative productions around the world is one of the most exciting parts of what we do.
This Paris editorial is also a great example of the relationships that make the fashion business so special. A meeting three years ago led to a lasting friendship, and that friendship eventually brought West Coast Leather designs to the streets and creative spaces of Paris.
We would like to thank Paul Tocatlian for his continued friendship, creativity, and vision, and Laura Giraudi for bringing this futuristic West Coast Leather look to life.
