Fashion Styling Part 1


Back in the last months of 2010 ..

... i decided to do some educating ... lol i enrolled in an evening course at central saint martins ...

and i am so glad 

this photo shoot was all about shadows and the darkness that comes from the outside  ...

and the light that shines from within 






i met some incredible people .. 
which include my mentor Aimee and the photographer Leigh 

.. who were both such great inspirations and fantastic teachers 

leigh even landed me a part time position for his magazine during London Fashion Week !!!!! 







but ... and of course ...

..my class mates .. 

who were all incredible, talented artists ...

which is why i can take full credit for this .. cause it was a conjoint effort between all of us 

.. it was deffo a group thang !!!


lovely people with great ideas and fun input 

i thoroughly enjoyed myself and would love to do it again







watch out for part 2 ....

Sweeney Tod-die for !!!!

.... Another lovely colleague of mine at Urban outfitters volunteered 
her lovely and gorgeous doe eyes and incredible hair ...

.. Leanne is the nicest and friendliest 
.. she's as beautiful as stunning .. 

she embodies a very effortless style
 .. she knows how to accompany relaxed clothing and sparkle sparkle sparkle !!!! .....


... this shoot was really fun ...

we shot it in my toilet !!! 
... i had a completely different idea with like florals shirts and wispy hair and flowers flowers flowers flowers?!?!? but in the end it didnt work out 






.. and i couldnt be happier ...

... i decided to put two different mirrors in my bathtub and had her pose hovering it ...

it was so cool and unexpected
 .. i thoroughly enjoyed myself and i think she did too 


these two shots of leanne are fantastic !!!!! ...

dont wanna toot my own horn but .. TOOT!!!






In the end the photos and styling really took a turn for the better ...

There was a real 30's feeling to the whole thing ... 

it was reminiscent of a old movie star 

and i love the sparkles !!!
