In her digital portfolio, Santos has a “blog” featuring posts with names of locations that include “Tulum”, “Palm Beach”, “Norfolk”, and “Amagansett”. Each blog features a series of photographs from the title location ranging from staged photo shoots to candid photos of pedestrians.

Some photos also feature Gianna herself but most of the shots are of her friends or strangers. Each blog post varies wildly in content and length. “Norfolk” has two candid photos of a younger and older woman in a public restroom. “Tulum” features vacation photos of Gianna and her friends posing in various places along with photos of the local architecture. And “Palm Beach” is a photo shoot with a single model posing in front of curtains along with photos of a hotel pool.

Despite the wide array of subject matter, each post has a consistent color palette and theme.

According to her portfolio, Santos has worked with some of the biggest names in the fashion industry. Her work at KITH makes up a good portion of her showcased work but she’s also worked with major shoe brands Nike, Adidas, Puma and Converse. She’s also worked with Japanese designer Yohji Yamamoto’s brand Y-3 and women’s activewear company Bandier.

Most of this work seems to come from her time as an E-commerce Stylist for Jackthreads and Head Stylist/Producer at KITH. Her portfolio has a list of photoshoots that showcases her styling and photography work with each of the aforementioned brands.


3. She’s Worked on a Music Video with Jonah Hill

Santos’ fiance Jonah Hill directed the music video for Vampire Weekend’s “Sunflower” earlier this year. In the video, lead singer Ezra Koenig and guitarist Steve Lacy visit the two most popular destinations on the Upper West Side of New York for Ashkenazi Jewish food, Zabar’s and Barney Greengrass’.

Santos lists the music video in her portfolio as something she had worked on. The music video was directed during her time as a Head Stylist and Producer at KITH, so she may have been responsible for styling the band and possibly Jerry Seinfeld, who makes a brief appearance at the end of the video.

She is not listed on the credits of the music video on YouTube or the IMDB page so her role in the project is unconfirmed.
