2010-09-26T16:16:00.000-07:00

What's up doc??

2010-09-25T10:47:00.001-07:00

I heard summer is over :(

R.I.P floral

2010-09-25T10:22:00.000-07:00

For the last couple of years i have been a very big fan of floral, but this trend being tirelessly over worked in the shops has ruined my love for it.

Hopefully it will return soon

Relaxation

2010-09-25T10:05:00.000-07:00

After a very stressful year A.K.A third year. I haven't wanted to think about anything fashion related. It was a time to catch up on my sleep, party and just be stress free.

I have now finally woken up from my summery haze though so it's now time to get back to blogging.

Images from the boat shoot

2010-03-26T03:57:00.000-07:00

In a later post in January i posted about a shoot i had been on which was on a boat on the Thames which featured the Model Liam Wade.

Here are some of the images!

Cara 'very ra!' Delevigne

2010-03-26T03:24:00.000-07:00

Here is the front cover of the new Luxure magazine that i was lucky enough to work on, I think this was one of my favorite photo shoots, work wise as there was only one outfit so the day was short and sweet rather than a long hard day.

The model on the front is Cara Delevigne who has featured in love magazine as a young talent to watch but cara's model looks and love for fashion defiantly run in the family with her sister (Poppy) already being a model at the same agency and her mother being the former norman hartnell model Janie sheffeild, her godmother is also the one and only Joan Collins.

I really enjoyed working with Cara, her flamboyant and very ra! personality brought fun and amusement to the day.

Oh the coat we shot was also the coat used in the new Burberry campaign with Emma Watson, which was beautiful in a lilac silk with decorative padded shoulders, this coat will have to go into my fantasy wardrobe!

Roxy Heart Bambi

2010-03-25T13:24:00.000-07:00

I get really excited when the big brands help the little people and i get more excited when the collection is amazing and makes me remember that summer isn't far away on this horrible grey day! In this case its Roxy hearts collaboration with Laura Figueras called Roxy heart Bambi by laura.

Roxy Heart has collaborated with Laura Figueras who Graduated from ESDI Barcelona in 2002, Laura debuted her graduate collection at London Fashion Week to a rapturous reception. After work experience at Preen in London, and a spell as head designer at Women’s Secret, she set up Bambi by Laura, a womens wear label focusing on wearable luxury.

The collection itself takes inspiration from the chic version of 1980s’ Hawaii: cocktail parties, palm trees, exotic flowers, parrots, flower necklaces........A collection brought to life by this blending of the exotic and the romantic.

The collection hits stores this week and will be available through selected boutiques including Beyond the Valley, Shop at Bluebird, Supra and no-one in London, as well as my favorite shop in Paris, colette!!

The orange dress with the ruffled back is a needed must for my summer wardrobe!!

lUXURE UPDATE

2010-03-25T08:25:00.000-07:00

As you guys already know from my many blog posts about my internship at Luxure Magazine. Our 7th issue was finally released on Tuesday night at the Luxure party which was at Brown's Hotel in London.

The party went amazingly with guests such as illustrator David Downton, Jhonathan knowles, Creative director of British vogue-Robyn Deryk aswell as British Vogues photographer, Stephen Fisher.

I arrived early to help but even with early preparation, we hysterically rushed around to get things finished.

I didn't manage to get many images but i got a few before people arrived.

Todays Photoshoot

2010-01-07T13:51:00.000-08:00

Today i assisted for another Luxure Photoshoot. The last time i had worked with them was in the summer, so it was nice to be doing it again. We usually work with just female models, so it was a nice change to work with a male model. It was strange having to help with suits rather than dresses and i had no idea how to do a tie.

I was then lucky enough for the male model to be Liam Wade. Who has worked on Burberry campaigns with lilly Donaldson and Agyness Deyn aswell as converse campaigns with Daisy Lowe and Touring as guitarist for Courtney Love.

It was always fun as always to see the new collections and have a real good look at them, rather than with a snotty sales assistant breathing down your neck. My favourite today was a jenny Peckham Dress.

The shoot was also on a boat on the thames which was also a different experience, being confined to try and shoot in small rooms and work while the boat is swaying.

I'll be able to post images of the shoot when it's released in April/March

Winter Moments

2009-12-02T08:22:00.000-08:00

Ashamedly i've never really had a look at flickr.com until recently and I'm really impressed to see so many amazing images.

so i thought i would start showcasing some photography that i like from there.

I've also noticed that in the last few days, that winter has kicked in with the fur coat out winter boots out of the cupboard and now snugly keeping me warm. I decided to use this as inspiration for my searches.

Here are my first 2 favorites.

video styling

2009-12-02T08:02:00.000-08:00

I've styled for a small fashion Video before but was really excited to be asked to style for a video that wanted to play around with experimental shots and was going to take place in a really cool location with fun props. As i always find it easier to experiment when there is a layed back atmosphere.

The shoot lived up to the expectation in my head when the model (The lovely Rebecca Davison) and i turned up to find a series 1 land rover accompanied by many years of mud and rust which really worked with the barn location.

Unfortunately i can't show you the video just yet as it is still being edited but here are some stills that i took myself.

The shots are not photeshoped just yet but i'm really happy with the photography as i took them myself :)

Hope you enjoy and let me know your comments

Here is another shoot at an amazing Penthouse apartment near Portabelo which belonged to one of our readers. The Jewellery we used was insane which was accompanied by 5 body guards. We also used beautifull dresses by Jenny Peckham, Versace, Moschino, christian laboutin, Chanel, gucci and many more.

P.S I tried to steal the dog

Helping at Emma Bell's fashion show

2009-09-17T02:07:00.000-07:00

Here is a pic of me and my housemate Emma trying to adjust one of Emma Bell's dresses at LFW. The dress was entirely made of plastic and metal links which made it hard to fit to the body but looked amazing!

Really enjoyed helping at the show with celebrities such as Jodie Harsh walking down the catwalk and the Big Bro twins Samanda!

Allegra Hicks

2009-09-06T00:48:00.000-07:00

Here are some more pictures of my first fashion week. I dressed for Allegra Hicks which was the least stressful and most enjoyable fashion show to dress for due to it being the last one of the week on the friday and clothing that was easy to put on so i didn't have to rush that much. Each dresser gets a model and is in charge of changes and each model MUST look perfect before going onto the stage as you would be in trouble if a bad picture was taken and bad publicity was given. The pictures below are of the model i dressed on style.com and it's safe to say i put everything on correct.

p.s The belt was a nightmare to get on

Fashion week begins...

2009-09-06T00:28:00.000-07:00

As the fashion weeks begin i thought i would post some pictures of some fashion weeks i've helped with.

These pictures are from my first ever fashion week and pictures of Backstage Harriets muse fashion show at Amika Night Club.

I did also help backstage at some on/off fashion shows and on the door at the Vogue Italia Party which was very special to meet some amazing people in the industry. Unfortunately i don't have any pictures of this due to cameras being strictly forbidden BUT this week was one of the hardest i had ever had to work with the very late nights and the very early mornings but there is also something very rewarding seeing the model that you dressed on style.com.

not sure if i'm going to help this fashion week due to the work pile mounting up but you never know.....

Converse heaven

2009-08-30T04:27:00.001-07:00

I just fell in love with these converse, i love the gold straps!

You can find them from asos.com

You can purchase them for £50

SECOND ISSUE OF LOVE!!!

2009-08-26T01:44:00.000-07:00

THIRST LOVE

I went into my nearest w h smith to buy a magazine. Preferably Dazed and Confused but unexpectedly there was a surprise waiting for me!

The Second issue of love!

Love magazine is edited by the amazing katie Grand who used to edit pop magazine which was one of my favorite mags but she decided to make a new magazine for Conde Nast.

This issue is about youth.

I prefer the second issue as i love the theme of youth as katie grand couldn't explain it any better in her Editors Letter.

"Everyone bats the word passion around so much these days that it has virtually become meaningless. so rather than add to the dirge of repetitive, celebrity driven, messages by numbers, we went looking for ordinary kids who could teach the grown ups a thing."

When looking at the love fan page on facebook though a lady on there made a very good point.

"Found early copies in WHSmith too- still loving the aesthetic of the mag but, seriously, is every issue going to be full of Pixie Geldof? In this one she's credited as a singer/musician- is that what she does this month?If I were one of the many talented individuals you feature who've worked long and hard to make their names in their fields, I'd be pretty annoyed if on the next page there was Miss Geldof being credited as a musician when she has yet to make her name in that field at all. I adored the first issue of Love but am worried its turning into a magazine about famous people's kids..?I realise the theme was youth in this issue, but using someone like Geldof as an example of an intern is pretty ridiculous- most interns do not end up on the pages of the glamorous glossies they work for, they go home to a second job so they can pay their rent."

Which i think is a very good point as interning doesn't mean you're gonna be featured on every page and is very expensive. I feel sorry for the other interns who didn't get a photo shoot with there famous friends and styled by Dolce and Gabanna.

I was also very pleased that they put most of the adverts at the front to make the art direction run smoother.

This was the cover i chose.

Talking about the past...

2009-08-19T08:48:00.000-07:00

Talking about the past in my last blog i thought i would show you one of my first photo shoots that i produced in my first year at Uni. It's strange looking back at them now as i think i could of refined it to improve each image but if i thought it was perfect 2 years on this probably would mean that i haven't progressed.

but here is the shoot that we had to do for a mock up of Vogue.

Please enjoy xx

I need some love

2009-08-18T15:50:00.000-07:00

blast from the past!- polly pocket

2009-08-18T09:49:00.001-07:00

I really love it when i find things from my childhood around the house unexpectedly. Like today when i was hoovering i found a little polly pocket down the edge of the carpet where it meets the skirting board, i have no idea how it got there as i wasn't even in the house i live in now when i would be young enough to play with polly pockets but it did make me think about how great the polly pocket clock was which i now wish i never threw away but at least i have little polly........ maybe i could use this as inspiration for a shoot....hhmmm! maybe. You'll have to come back and see if my Miss polly find results in a shoot. I think i like the challenge of turning a childish toy into a styling result that could be related into clothing that older women would want to buy xx

Happy Mondays-festival wear

2009-08-17T10:23:00.000-07:00

After a lovely day of coffee and pan-ini's with my mum and nan i realized that with only 5 weeks till i have to go back to uni and hand in 6000 words of my dissertation and my s magazine still not arriving for me to read i really should start my essay! but like most people after only writing 300 words i am easily distracted so i decided to plan my festival wear for v festival which i go to on friday! but not being satisfied with looking at the clothes i could afford here is my dream festival wear...............

Boots-YSL

Necklace- Tatty Devine

Skirt- Top shop (Not exactly expensive but i still love it anyway)

sunglasses- Giles Deacon

Cuff- Kara Beck

and add a straw hat and some jeany things for that true festival feel. You also may be wondering where the Wellies are but they have bored me this year so get some leather boots muddy instead!!!

Fashion Magazines

2009-08-16T05:31:00.000-07:00

Being a fashion student and training to be a stylist i look at fashion Magazines for inspirations and when looking through my blog i was shocked that i haven't mentioned any fashion magazines considering they are a heavy influence to my work. So i thought i'd just mention a few that have really excited me through my young learning love of fashion.

Nylon magazine that stands for new york and london was the first fashion magazine i found in my local news agents that wasn't a commercial fashion magazine such as vogue and Harpars Bazaar. To be honest i didn't realise fashion magazines that were aimed at a younger fashion market existed and i was excited about the new designers that they featured and the edgier styling stories. I was also really interested in the underground bands that they reviewed.

Now with my wider knowledge of fashion magazines i find Nylon magazine targeted at a slightly younger audience so i don't tend to read it as much or find it that inspiring but i'll always be fond of it. Another of my favorite Mags is plastique magazine that i love for art direction and there creative use of text.

I do have a confession

I haven't read S magazine yet but my friend had told me about it and described it as pure sex and with this exciting description it got me running home to order the slightly expensive £12.75 magazine.

so when the magazine arrives and i have read cover to cover i will be sure to blog and tell you my thoughts.

Unique Blazers

2009-08-11T02:16:00.000-07:00

I've wanted to buy a blazer for a long time but didn't really find one that i really liked and i was going to buy the simple boy cut black blazers but with them being such a fashionable item but i didn't really feel i wanted the same as what everyone else had but routing through the Tophop sale i came across this floral beauty for only £20! which was exactly what i was looking for! a blazer that stands out from the crowd!! x x

my last and final from sundays shoot!!

2009-08-10T16:49:00.000-07:00

It speak for itself...... but a very stunning image! the view behind the gate was amazing and it is a shame you couldn't see more x x

More from the shoot!

2009-08-10T16:45:00.000-07:00

Lovely Simone the photographer from the last shoot i blogged for the look books for the models at profile also sent come more pics to me but i couldn't fit them in the same post so once again let me know what you think........ Enjoy!! x x x

profile modeling agency

2009-08-10T16:36:00.000-07:00

sorry guys that i haven't blogged in ages but i have now styled for the look books of Georgia and

Rose in new faces for profile modeling agency on sunday. Here are some of the pics,hope you like them. The styling was based on modern, sexy boho with lots of lace..... let me know your comments. xxxx

state of grace- mario testino

2009-05-28T04:43:00.000-07:00

Couture is normally known for old stuffy women with more money than taste...........
but we were oh so wrong. with mario testino's shoot, below for vogue, bringing couture to the reaal fashionista's. Making myself wish i had a few £100,000 in my back pocket to spend on one of these master peices. I think my attraction to these gowns and also this shoot is the pearly pinks and ruffles with my friends knowing i'm a fan of anything romantic and pretty. My favourite shots are the 1st one and last one because of the raw edge of the room contrasting with ths softness of the colours.

Enjoy xxxxxxxx

aleister crowley

2009-05-25T06:22:00.000-07:00

so after 2 hours of sitting down the printers, L.I.P magazine is finally published! I'm going to put someof the pages on here soon so keep coming to have a look. but there is no time to relax as we've now got our second magazine project for 3rd year all ready so we have the summer to think about it!

we get given somebody for inspiration and we recieved aleister crowley dubbed the wickedest man in the world which has got us really excited!

found this image of him that i really like.

The unloved

2009-05-21T06:44:00.001-07:00

Even though in our house we always have the television on, we rarely actually watch something worth while or all the way through.

So i actually sat down and watched the unloved on channel 4 which was a drama by the director samantha morton and fell in love with the imagery. I can't find any images to give it justice but it's definitely worth watching on 4 oD.

Prada shoes! yes please!

2009-05-20T05:12:00.000-07:00

Just having a browse at style.com and found these beauty's from prada! I think they're aaaaamazing and seriously sexy

but not too sure about this welly, heels combo........................

Still life shoot for L.I.P Magazine

2009-05-20T05:04:00.000-07:00

For L.I.P MAGAZINE we have had to do a still life shoot with products that would reflect our reader.

I decided to use chanel beauty products as every woman with money would love to have these in there bag (preferably also a chanel bag)

I actually shot the images myself due to an absent photographer but i'm really happy with ressults

L.I.P Magazine

2009-05-20T04:56:00.001-07:00

For our last project of uni for second year. We've had to make a magazine for a niche market. I decided my niche was for powerful women with high powered who have more of a natural drive to succeed in there career than have children or get married.

So for my shoot i obviously wanted to portray this and i'm really happy with the results and i also used my house mates garment Emma Box for one look and i really love the image and she is happy with the look i have given the garment too.

LUXURE magazine

2009-05-07T04:15:00.000-07:00

Since october i have been doing work experience with Luxure magazine and it's now finally out!

It was so exciting to finally see what we had been working so long and hard on, finally in print. I must also say how amazing it looks. Go and check it out now in Borders, R.d franks, Harrods and Selfridges.

P.S

look for my name under the intern section xxx

My own shoot for inspiration

2009-04-09T03:45:00.000-07:00

With looking through my own portfolio, i came across this shoot that i did quite a while ago. once again with the lovely model Rose Jocham from profile model management and i noticed how it has a futuristic feel to it. Something that i would love to try and portray for my Futuristic shoot coming soon.

Essay completed

2009-04-09T03:22:00.000-07:00

Our pilot dissertations were finally handed in today, which means i can finally concentrate on doing some more styling shoots but with so much research on futurism, it has got me craving to do a futuristic shoot. Here is some inspiration which should result in a shoot in the next couple of weeks.
