Fall Perfection

Steven Miesel photographs the best of the Fall/Winter 12/13 collections for Vogue Italia's July issue. The likes of Prada, Rick Owens, Louis Vuitton, Alexander McQueen and Comme des Garcons are featured in the editorial and it really is a stunning piece of work.

Old Master

I rekindled some old work of mine.

self service part 2

As promised, here is the editorial I produced for self service magazine as part of my final project at university. This shoot was the most fun I have ever had, playing around with wigs, make up and clothes in the studio with my stunning friend! I am so happy with how the images came out and think they look great in the traditional self service layout. Can't wait to see what 2nd year holds!

Visions Couture

Quick post: Had a long long day at uni that isn't over yet... While browsing online earlier I came across my work featured as part of SHOWstudio's 'Visions Couture' project. Completely forgot that I submitted to this and what a lovely suprise to see that Nick Knight chose my work to be features!

Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder? PART 2

So, as promised, here is the second half to the shoot I did for my friend at CSM. This time the garment had to be inspired by a designer, and she chose Miu Miu. We knew we wanted to photograph the shirt outside and she knew what look she wanted, so it was just a matter of praying that the day we picked was going to be a clear one. Luckily there was no rain insight and there was even a bit of sun, which made for great images and an easy, fun shoot.

Enjoy!

Inbetween Thoughts

After this week is over, my life will almost grind to a halt as I wait for university to commence again. That is not to say that this week is not going to be a very busy week, it just means I will be doing less interesting things, and will most likely be working extra at work for some well needed money or just sitting at home feeling sorry for myself. As a result of this, I decided to start posting some things that are inspiring me at the moment. Enjoy!

Pretty Faces

I've been looking a lot of portraits today, not sure why, I just seem to be in that mood. Simple, beautiful head shots of people is what i'm liking today, so here a few of my favourites.

LFW - Jasper Garvida S/S 12

 This was another show with Forward PR and I was really looking forward to it after the buzz of Corrie Nielsen's show. We arrived at The Bloomsbury Hotel before 3pm and was suprised to see that things were very calm. Most of the setting up had been done before we arrived, so there were just some goody bags to place on the front row and then we just waited for people arrive. After an hour or so of gossiping amongts ourselves, places were taken and guests began to arrive...very slowly, but eventually the room was full and the show was set to go.

The collection was stunning, full of metal, structure and edge. The structure accentuated the hips and shoulders perfectly, and huge gold pyramid studs created a twist on the trusty LBD. When watching the run through of the show earlier on in the day, some of the models had issues with their shoes due to them being too big and the floor being slippery. But, once the show was under way, all the models seemed to walk with ease and looked great.

Once the show was over, we cleared the room and had the opportunity to mingle with the guests, which proved very useful for me in the contacts area of my life. The day had been a long one and we all needed some food. Walking down Tottenham Court Road while hungry meant that KFC seemed like a fantastic idea. So, we headed to KFC and ordered a 14 piece bargain bucket between 3 people. BAD IDEA. We didn't finish it, and my stomach hated me when I got home.

Working with Forward PR was a great experience, and I will be working with them again next season. The shows have opened up a lot of doors for me interms of contacts and experience and I am looking forward to the next year of work. I'll post about today's LFW experience soon, but for now I need some sleep before my early start tomorrow.
