Sleek magazine shoot

Saturday 26th January - Big sky studios, London
I couldn't imagine any better way to have spent my Saturday than assisting stylist Jeanie on a shoot for SLEEK magazine. It was so exciting to be back working on an editorial shoot were my passion for styling lies. Working with an amazing yet small team of professional hair and make up artists and photographer reminded me why I have spent so long working for free because the buzz you get from the flow of your creativity is priceless. As well as learning about the innovative magazine I also learned some tips from Jeanie, like her one rail rule. A rule I will surely be adapting as everyone knows how overwhelming it can be having a number of overflowing rails of clothes to choose from when, 99% of the time on any shoot the time you have to complete the shoot is very tight. So this little rail of bright clothing from McQueen to Versace, leather to lace was a perfect selection for the shoot, however the clothes are only the tip of the iceberg the mood and depth imagery is created by a combination of amazing clothes, exciting lighting, facial expressions and boy movements.

An issue of Sleek, big sky studios, some sneak peaks, and the two things I wouldn't have survived the day without, my iPad and green tea.

Paris fashion week 2013

From Monday 21st January until 25th January the clothes horses strutted the runways of Paris for Paris fashion week dripping in S/S 2013 haute couture. This fabrics, colours and silhouettes of this seasons couture makes it hard for me to choose a favourite look or collection. It is a tough call between Valentino and Jean Paul Galtier and, although I usually favour Elie Saab for his chicness, there is nothing that excites me more than contrast, so this season the moody, gothic lesbian brides of Chanel would have to be my favourite look. There is nothing like a gritty corpse bride or two.
Below are some selected favourites of mine.

Experimenting on a snowy day

While everyone was out playing in the cold snow I thought I'd stay put in my bedroom and play photographer/model. Turning my bedroom into a 'studio' these are the images I created, much more fun than building a snowman.

Hopefully I'll get snowed in again soon to play!
