Well I am officially doing a Spring clean on the blog front this weekend. I went to London Fashion Week in February and coordinated the team for Who’s Jack. I have been going to LFW on behalf of WJ since 2009 and am always excited to attend the shows. Here is a selection of the reports I filed this season:

Basso & Brooke
Bernard Chandran
Bora Aksu
Christian Blanken
Christopher Raeburn
Florian Jayet 
Issa London
John Rocha
Louise Gray
Ones to Watch: Women
Ozwald Boetang
Pam Hogg

Highlights included the print explosion at Basso & Brooke, set against the stunning backdrop of Goldsmith Hall, falling in love with Danish designer Anne Sofie Madsen and the gigantic mohawks and printed PVC knee high boots shown by Louise Gray.

AW12 feels like it is set to be a bright, joyful season - full of humour and exuberant colour.

It has been a while since I posted some shots from behind the scenes. I have been saving up my off-piste treats for a sunny day. My highlights on set have included our model (Olga from M+P) taking over the stereo and starting a dance off to ‘Russian techno’, styling a legend and of course all the gorgeous fashion I get to shoot. Here’s to more on set adventures!

S/S12 editorial shot for Noctis Magazine. The pitch was tribes and we decided to keep it slick and simple. The looks include fashion from Acquascutum, Aminaka Wilmont, Maria Grachvogel, Mr Hare, and Louise Amstrup.

Lady Zanditon’s SS12 video. Me like. Video posted today on WJ magazine with a nice mention about my shoot back in Feb which featured her gorgeous pieces. Got some current season bits in my next shoot too so keep an eye out. Seahorses and mythical things…

Finally, three days in to London Fashion Week I post! I am on the ground with WJ magazine - covering shows and hunting for inspiration.

fairy highlights so far

Fyodor Golan winning Fashion Fringe with their utterly stunning and ghostly collection of gowns inspired by French poet, Charles Baudelaire.

Holly Fulton taking ‘Vegas to Margate’ and Maria Grachvogel showing ‘snakeprint and neon’ at The Savoy. Tis the season of the culture clash.

Right back down the rabbit hole until Wednesday x

I have been meaning to write about Ian Higginson for sometime now. Ian shot my S/S11 editorial for WJ magazine and I adore his aesthetic. Raw, simple and crisp - Ian’s signature is all about his attention to detail.

A regular collaborator with menswear designer Matthew Miller, he most recently shot his A/W11 campaign which has made a huge impact across the fashion press. Personal favourites include an emerging menswear editorial for international style journal Teapaper.

I look forward to many more collaborations Mr Higginson.

Oxfam Fashion have just posted a behind the scenes blog from our vintage 
shoot at Glastonbury Festival. I had forgotten what a gloriously sunny day it was! The looks were shot in The Park which had by far my favourite line-up of the weekend. I hot footed it to see Pulp straight afterwards.
