Fashion is such a glamorous industry, but that doesn't mean working on a photo shoot is easy. The IGIGI team spent weeks setting up and preparing for a two day photo shoot here in downtown San Francisco. A whole team of people had to come together to create the perfect look and feel for our new Fall collection, which focuses on the chic working woman. And you know what? Our hard work paid off- the shoot was amazing!

The Collection

IGIGI designer Yuliya Zeltser says her inspiration for this season was, "Upscale, elegant and classy looks for professional women." Featuring sexy suiting and office appropriate dresses (and some sexy after work numbers), her collection defines the empowered working woman. Yuliya designs clothes meant to make every woman feel beautiful, sexy and sophisticated. "There is a stigma that you can't succeed if you are voluptuous, but that's so untrue! So for this shoot I wanted to show women succeeding at the highest executive level, regardless of size. Women can break out, break rules - size is not a barrier," she said.

A confident sexy woman takes control of her life.

She looks within rather than placing blame on anyone or anything. Becoming a confident woman will make you feel happier, more secure and extra attractive.

The greatest reward though is you will soon find everything begins to flow easily and effortlessly into your life.

1. Be 100% Honest with Yourself It's REALLY easy to delude yourself. With anything. Look within by asking for the answers. You'll find most everything you need to know if you just ask yourself the right questions. No guru, therapist, religious leader, teacher, your mother, father or Oprah can tell you what you already know inside. Trust your intuition.

Ask your higher self, "Am I being real?" If not, don't do it. Stop lying to yourself.

'Crackling Chicken on the bone' is the first phrase out of my mouth when I return to New York City from the road. In New York City , there are these amazing inexpensive take-out places in the city that are half Cuban/half Chinese. It is a must to order Crackling Chicken on the bone and not white meat to enjoy this inexpensive heart attack food. The way to make this meal semi-balanced is to get the Avocado salad to complement this juicy and tasty chicken.

The chicken, most likely neighborhood pigeon or cat, used for Crackling is seasoned in spicy batter then deep fried.

Crackling Chicken is a treat for me, since most food at comedy clubs make the 7-Elevens and Qwickie Marts food selection look gourmet.

As one can imagine, the food at most comedy clubs is saltier than the Dead Sea.

Hardly any woman thinks she looks good in a swimsuit. Fashion magazines don't help, with anorexic looking models in the latest styles.

The real problem is often not the woman . . . it's the suit.

Because fashion must change every year in order to keep selling new clothes, the ones you see in magazines are often not the best choice for you or anyone's body type. The fashion advice contained in the magazines is there primarily to sell product for their advertisers.

My first advice: ignore the fashion magazines.

Below you'll find ten tips that will guide you to the swimsuit that looks perfect on you. Seek out that perfect suit – buy it and wear it year after year, as long as it looks good on you. A suit that looks fantastic will stay in style for years to come.

The eyebrows: so minute yet so essential in creating a perfectly polished look. A perfect set of eyebrows can create a sense of harmonious beauty to a face, even without makeup. Badly shaped eyebrows, however, can create a few not so pleasant effects: an involuntary "surprised' look, an unfinished messy look to your makeup, and a dimming of the eye area.

Over the years as a brow specialist in the salon, I saw everything from over-plucking disasters to eye brows soooo au natural that there was no beginning or end between the two! If you're looking to achieve a set of perfect brows, fear no more: here are my tips in doing it right!
