When photographer Dennis Low took Hayley Marie Coppin out on the streets of Canada for a fashion shoot, he probably had something a little more conventional in mind. What he got was something considerably more spectacular. Hayley leans against a rusted vintage red truck on the cobbled city street, skyscrapers and brick warehouses rising behind her, café tables full of oblivious onlookers a few feet away, and she is wearing a tight black zip-front mini dress with the zip pulled so far down that fashion, in any traditional sense, has thoroughly left the building. Her long wavy blonde hair catches the cool urban breeze and she faces the camera with the absolute, unshakeable cool of a woman entirely at home in any setting.
This is fashion, Hayley style, and that means the little black dress comes off on a public street beside a battered old truck while the city carries on completely around her. She works every angle of that gritty, industrial backdrop with the ease of someone born to it, and by the time the final frame arrives she is leaving very little to the imagination and taking absolutely everything from it. Canada has rarely looked so exciting, Dennis Low has rarely had a better assignment, and Hayley, naturally, has never looked better.
