R.I.P floral

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

Roxy Heart Bambi

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

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.

Winter Moments

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

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

Allegra Hicks

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...

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.....

Fashion Magazines

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

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
