Candid moments captured minutes before the debut of Sav Noir's Autumn/Winter 2015 collection debut held at the Lazarus Experience in Downtown Los Angeles on Thursday (October 8). The models congregated together with last minute touch-ups and styling by Roman Sipes and Sav Noir founder Edwin Haynes. Huddled around Shaun Ross, Ross gave the models a pep talk seconds before they lined up for the show.
