Trying to play it cool

Oh Fashion! What have you done? You make me stay up all night flicking through magazines, you make me buy magazines, you make me buy clothes!

Stolen Girlfriends Club AW 11 - my love <3

Obakki AW 11

 Luckily enough I also get to see you before everyone else does in the form of press days. I haven't been to many this season, but I did stop by Robinson Pfeffer for a little press day BBQ and thank goodness I did. I ate sausages to comfort my slightly stalker-ish love for fashion and drown my sorrow with bottles of Kopparberg cider and yes I had all both mixed fruit and pear! Well if I am going to fall in love with fashion I'm going to do it the right way?

Robinson Pfeffer are what I would call the cool kids of the PR world - seriously they are cool. Their clients include Stolen Girlfriends Club - you remember the cable knit shorts that everyone copied, We Are Handsome who have the best swimwear since well the invention of swimwear, Obakki, Alpha 60 and Lucy Hutchings

If you haven't met Andrea, Tara and the team then maybe it's time you did they have the eye for the cool stuff and who doesn't like being cool?

LFW Street Style

I have been terribly lazy with not updating, you now have my full attention since I have now finished all my interviews for university bar one course. 


Here are my favourite street styles that I shot at London Fashion Week this season. Autumn colours were definitely not out of season yet and the pastels were crossing over to spring. This was my first experience viewing London Fashion Week on the other hand, rather than working on a show I was watching the shows and believe me it has its perks and not so lovely downfalls, like standing in freezing weather!

You have to do the bathroom mirror shot!

Video Debut

The video is finally out - as of yesterday, which means I can show you all the backstage, behind the scenes MTV style stuff in the form of digital photography. I have to say it was an amazing experience and is its just like how MTV Making The Video makes it out as, but more hectic, less spacious and a very very long day.

Started with a 6 am alarm clock and finish with a car dropping me at my doorstep at about midnight. Working with Leeann was a lovely learning experience and someone I  would love to assist on a more frequent basis. Unlike the horror stories of stylists she gives great advice, passionate about her work and doesn't let out her anger on you - and no stupid requests! In other words a blessing!

Yasmin is an amazing artist, beautiful and not forgetting she is a well known Dj - triple threat! 

For know I will let you enjoy the photographs, but if you want to see the video click here and you'll be able to watch it, for some reason I have a feeling it will only be available to UK readers!

- UPDATE -

Here is the video youtube style.

And Finish Line. 

Interlude

I have been a naughty blogger and not posted anything for a very long time but I do have some decent excuses - honest ones. 

First, I was working as an assistant to stylist and my personal inspiration Leeann Soki Mak, please check out her blog and here too! I worked as her assistant on music artist Yasmin's music video for her single 'Finish Line' directed by Emil Nava. That was about a month or so ago, but unfortunately until the video is out I can't show you any images - as soon as the video is out I will show you guys!

My second excuse is that well as you know if you're a reader to my blog is that I am reapplying to university and litterally been working my rear end off. Of course it wasn't smooth sailing one course decided not to accept applications for this year, which created a wonderful problem. I call it wonderful because know I have found an even better course, sent off my application and now sitting biting my nails and waiting for interviews to commence. 

Finally and most excitingly (is that a word ?!) I got a styling job thanks to Leeann for West London Magazine 'The Grove' once again, until it comes out I won't be able to show you any images. If you go on my twitter and follow me there is a little treat of one of the looks I took on the Blackberry. 

Enough of the excuses and groveling, promise I will do better. 

With that here's what I'll be bringing London Fashion Week. I've got lot's of treats!
