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!

In The Middle

So, while I am in the middle of a mad period of trying to sort various aspects of my life out, I thought i'd take the time to show you some of my recent projects.

ISOLATED

A photoshoot I shot for a university project based on brutalist structure and it's parallels in fashion. I was given a beautiful model from FIRST called Samara who, despite the language barriers (she was Brazilian, and I was the only one in the team who spoke Spanish, which luckily spoke as well as Portugese and Italian), has been the best model I have worked with to date. Her ability to comman the frame and use her body to hold clothes and create a mood was wonderful.

On a particularly cold and miserable day in November, my team and I found ourselves scouring East London for shoot locations and working the quickest we ever have. The photos came out stunning and after many hours of talking, we finally came up with a final selection, there were just too many images to choose from! Here they are!
