....Love Vintage<3<3<3

...I'm off to Lincoln today for a shoot with photographer Courtney Louise & Model Kat...I have a love for unusual vintage dresses with massive sleeves & unusual proportions, as they are relatively inexpensive i can re-work them to the look in after, most of which i've never used so i thought the historical backdrop of Lincoln would be perfect!!! Some sweep to the floor with netting @the bottom to create a cloud effect...some with Lace & you cant have a Vintage shoot without a georgous fur coat;-))))) ...will update you all later with behind the scenes pics!;-)

...evenin' blogeeeeee's, i'm still buzzing from yesterdays shoot in Birmingham, Part one with Mr.Aaron Frew went really well, he was an absolute pleasure to work & a superstar putting up with the freezing cold! ...the location was amazing! Me & Damon went to explore the grounds of the derelict site, my favourite being the furnest building...really dark & smokey with mounds of corregated roofing collapsed on-top of eachother with light coming through the shattered roof & brickwork...Shell did an amazing job with the make-up-cant wait for you all to see the final series! In the meantime some behind the scenes antics;-)

Devine Inspiration

Gareth Pughs use of unconventional material's wows me everytime, i did'nt think he could better his previous creations, with my favourite being the The Show studio project 'Insensate' in collaboration with Nick Knight as featured in Dazed (image above)
I was bowled over with excitement when i saw his mens Autumn/Winter 2009 collection...still characteristically dark & technically flawless, this time with the use of minimal structure, foil~esk,shiny fabrics with an emphasis on detail,cut & proportion.

...early post today ahead of a v.busy weekend! Driving to Manchester tonight, disco dancin' on Le rave scene with my partner in crime until saturday for Valentines<3...then the 'mother' of all shoots in Birmingham with two amazing models i've already worked with- We hav a fantastic creative team so cant wait to see all the planning come together finally!!!!
Today is style prep/packing/bubblewrapping/pulling my hair out/running around like a lunatic day.lol:-D

>>>>>Preview of the Look & some props i'm using on the day>>>>>> (excuse my bad modelling!) I love the vintage 80's dress i found in Cow, the sleeves are an architectural masterpiece in itself...very Gareth Pugh my favourite designer @the moment;-)

Have a crackin' weekend everyone! <3<3<3

Acid Junkie

...yes this is my third post of the day-tut*tut* but i'm feeling v.productive & full of fresh ideas ahead of spring/summer '09. I've decided i'm going to concentrate on a brighter/fresher side to my styling, the look i've got in my book recently seems to be looking very dark/edgy/mysterious which is what i love!...for my next shoot i'm even using huge animal horns & skulls (Images up tmrw they are amazing!!!!)

....but i also want to change my direction slightly & reinvent my approach to the fabrics/clothes i'm using- experimenting with different materials??? I hav some shoots planned so cant wait to get creating! Even Mr.Bakers move down to Devon has got my cogs going for all sorts of concepts;-)

I'm loving PEACH at the moment, i predict it will be THE colour to be seen in this spring, as spied in March's edition of Vogue with Aggy Deyn modelling for the Acid Reign fashion story

H&M are launching their stunning new Spring/Summer collection TMRW which i've set up in my branch after steaming 10zillion outfits for the mannequinns;-)

...Chow for now peeps;-)
