Congratulations to Bukki and Precious Osula who tied the knot at the gorgeous Hampstead Garden Suburb Free Church (where I got married too ;-)....
I had the pleasure of beautifying the already beautiful Bukki who was as serene as they come whilst getting ready (watching Bride Wars on DVD!)
I wish them all the best for the future...
Back in July I had the pleasure to collaborate with amazing designer Kirstie Taylor of vintage accessory company Flo and Percy (www.http://www.vintagetiaras.co.uk/) on her 2010 collection.
The shoot was captured by photographer Nathan Pask and shot on location at Rochford Hall, Essex (Anne Boleyn's former home no less!)
The results of which Kirstie is using for her advertising campaign... :-)
Its so lovely to be flicking through a magazine and see your work staring back at you!
Check out Flo and Percy all you Brides to be her pieces are to die for and will truly make you feel like a princess whatever your style of wedding....
Further to the shoot I worked on with photographer Grant Thomas, model Jade McSorley (Models1) and hair stylist Soichi, Grant put togther a behind the scenes video, made up of loads of still photos put together to make a moving picture! One of the highlights of the day featured the whole team sneaking over to a rooftop car park (secret location!) and climbing up a rickety (and quite frankly dangerous) ladder to be met by an amazing view of Central London where the bulk of our shoot took place....and much to the surprise of office workers in nearby high rise office blocks :-)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUZomQvVI
I love Fashion!! Enjoy...

On Monday I had the pleasure of shooting with the ridiculously talented Grant Thomas http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=61164563740&ref=ts (who by the way has only JUST turned 17 Happy Birthday) and the beautiful Jade McSorley from Models1.
The concept varied from natural to dramatic to a concept we had been discussing based on Idioms. The first one we tried was "A Leopard can never change his spots". The image is going to be laid out over a double page spread with one side showing Jade natural and the other side showing her made up like a leopard (courtesy of moi!) more of this series and pictures to follow.....

Possibly the best shoot I have had the pleasure to be involved in! The team consisted of Alexandra Cameron an amazing photographer who has an eye for capturing the natural light and who was able to bring our fashion story to life....
Harper Walsh, Australian model who was signed to one of LA's biggest agencies Next and has just moved to London ... stunningly beautiful, totally professional and down to earth, Harper endured the mud, hornets and the cold to make sure we got the shot.
Paula Appiah who has over 10 years experience in the business put together the styling for our shoot with gorgeous garments from no less than Primark would you believe!!
An amazing team and an excellent collaboration... have a look at the full shoot at:
