Gunnar Deatherage’s Spy Wear is dedicated to and inspired by women who served as spies in the two great wars.  They were military women, journalists, cooks, actresses, and ordinary women caught up in extraordinary times.  Josephine Baker, Heady Lamarr, Maria Gulovich, Violette Reine Elizabeth Bushell, Virginia Hall, and Princess Noor-un-nisa Inayat Khan- just to name a few took their secrets to the grave and were known only to their contacts.

The 2012 Spy-Wear fall line worn by models Lexi Stevens Modèle, Leah Cultice, Ashley Brock, and Courtney Blanton are featured in the vignette. Their imagery was set to a haunting rendition of Lili Marleen performed by OSS operative, Marlene Dietrich. The song was used as propaganda by the OSS to demoralize weary Nazi soldiers.

The creativity and fluidity of the Spy-Wear shoot were amazing.  It was great working with Gunnar Deatherage, Courtney Blanton, Ashley Brock,  Lexi Stevens Modèle, Leah Cultice, Juliette Bennett, Micah Severo Ruelas, Dylan Kremer, Jessica Able,  Bil Brown, Drew Pluta, Claudia Susana Bodington, Steve Squall,  Deuce Leader, and capturing their talents in motion.
