Minimalistic Tendencies

This week on Fashion156 it's Minimalism Week, and I have to admit, I want it to be Minimalism month atleast! I have always dressed in a simplistic manner; spending most days in a pair of heels, jeans and an array of shirts, chic and easy to spend my day in meetings and running around. The masters of minimalism in the fashion world today are Celine, Alexander Wang and Costume National, to name but a few.

To celebrate minimalism, Fashion156 has put together theit best selection of street style photos and buys to guide you through the trend. Combining textures, cuts and colours; it's about effortless chic, that's still clever and a breath of fresh air.

Being such a fan of the look, a lot of my work has been based on such clean and crips ideas, so I thought now would be a perfect time to share it with you!

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!

5 weeks of hard work finally came to an end today when I submitted my final project for this year at university. The theme was to produce material for self service magazine, so I created an editorial, two front covers and a short film.

Here is the film and front covers, the editorial will come in my next post.

Now time for some sleep!

Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder? PART 1

I have been MIA for a while now, i'm sorry. The only excuse for this is my ridiculous excuse for a life at the moment. I've been so busy with various kinds of work and trying to get an hour of sleep here and there, that my blog has really suffered. So, to make it up to you, here is a shoot I recently did for an old friend who is studying fashion design at CSM. She's a great designer and I look forward to doing more work with her in the future. This is one of the garments I photographed for her based on the boundary between insanity and sanity.

P.S. I promise i'll get better at this whole writing thing

Inspiring The Uninspired

I am STILL not a very busy person, which means until the beginning of February when univeristy startes I have nothing to blog about, which is an awful excuse I guess. I have bought some amazing items of clothes recently, and finally got round to purchasing a new film camera (Olympus Trip 35) so am all set up to do some work with those. I am thinking about videoing daily outfits, or maybe just doing some videos in general as it's something I want to look into more. I have some DIY clothes projects I want to do before I go to Berlin, so hopefully will start those...when I can be bothered. I AM SO LAZY. ERGH.

Anyway, to keep you going in the mean time, here are a few things that have caught my eye over the past week or so.

Finger tattoos

Lana Del Rey + collage = perfection

Double exposures

Monochrome and cutouts

Abbey Lee Kershaw

Sheer clothing

A glimpse of the most amazing dress that I bought

Maxis with thigh high splits

Erdem Inspired

Erdem Pre-Spring 2012

This lace shirt is THE King of all shirts. It's white, has a loose fit, has lace shoulders and the perfect collar.

I am going to attempt to create shirt like this, but first I must find a cheap white shirt and some reasonably priced lace. Then, I will get creating.
