Lucy Sanchez is a model, artist, and photographer.

I first met Lucy on the set of our Brett Gray photoshoot that Dahsar produced in Philadelphia where she was one of the photo assistants for the great Aaron Ricketts.

I was like is a model photo assisting? That’s dope but then again a ton of my model friends assist. They’re more than just a pretty face, they like to get down and get to work.

Lucy is signed to APM Models, has been in several New York Fashion Week shoots I was stoked to see that she modeled at my all time favorite place, Electric Lady Studios.

Lucy does hilarious IG reels with the deadpan face and you mouth the words where you know somethings up.

Please welcome Lucy Sanchez to Wear Many Hats.

Paul Dally is a musician.

I first saw Paul perform opening for Dijon at Music Hall of Williamsburg then an intimate set at the New York City location of the Cactus Store.

Paul can throw down an acoustic guitar and also sing and dance to his own tunes while his beat machine plays all night long.

While at the Cactus Store the set was so good, we wondering if we could go ”One More Song” but not too loud to make the neighbors mad. Yeah it was that good.

Paul Dally has a unique voice that you can bop to when you’re walking the streets of New York City or LA.

Please welcome Paul Dally to Wear Many Hats.

Ian Shiver is a photographer who I believe every single one of my Philly and LA transplant friends who moved from Philly or NYC worked with except for me, why is that?

Ian’s still life photography for brands looks so surreal that make you go more beyond, “ok I’ll buy it” but they all look like you’re in ASAP Rocky’s music video for “LSD”

Ian’s represented by DMB Represents but his select clients include Adidas, Polaroid, Kodak, and Questlove, honestly check out his IG, you’ll find a brand you’ll fall in love with with his photos.

Ian has shot with friends ALLCAPSSTUDIO, Middle Child, Two Robbers, and more amazing locals from Philly that you can see in their publishing collective, IOTA Editions.

Ian’s profile pic is a kid taking a picture and it gives us throwbacks that we were all once that kid wanting to take a picture.

Please welcome Ian Loring Shiver to Wear Many Hats.
