Out and about....Mondrian inspiration

From Fashionistable
How could Charlotte's shirt not catch your eye. It is bold and bright and is by Moschino. Moschino's motto was "fashion should be fun and should send a message". I think he would have felt this shirt lived up to his motto. Charlotte works for Modus PR. She told me that she did design at Kingston Uni and just sort of fell into PR which has been an ongoing internship. She likes East London best saying that the night life is good. Surprisingly she says she did the mini marathon when she was at school. The rest of her outfit is made up of jacket from All Saints, shorts from Topshop, shoes by Jeffery Campbell and a COS bag.

Out and about....colour clash

From Fashionistable
This is Emilie from My Little Fashion Diary. I love the colour clash very on trend. I am seeing this in all the shop windows now. I am not sure I would get away with pink and orange together. But I like it on her. Emile is from Luxembourg and her next venture is into publishing. She is going to create her own magazine. I wish her well.

We had a fire alarm - so it was everyone out and yes it was raining. Dont know how the guys managed to stay so cool. But on the outside at least they looked calm. Luckily we were only outside for about fifteen minutes.

Out and about....purple reign

From Fashionistable
From Fashionistable
It is nice to do a regular post again. Ella was shopping with her Mum when we met. Her Mum looks wonderful too so I am hoping we can meet up again so I can photograph and post about her as well. Ella is sitting her GCSE's at the moment. Hope they are going well for her. Her favourite subjects are art and sport. She likes to design clothes, so her sights are set on the London College of Fashion after A'Levels. Her surprises were that she rides horses, plays the harp and (for me unsurprisingly) was a child model. For our shot she is wearing glasses from Claire's, the scarf was a Christmas present. Her jacket is from Jack Wills, shoes are Kurt Geiger, the sweater is her Mum's, leggings are New Look and her bag is from Paul's Boutique.

Collectables, china and crystal website pitch

My latest design for a retailer that has been trading for 50 years, without a website. This is a pitch for the design. The client requires an online shop that can also be used to mail special offers and capture client information for future events and product launches. What do you think?!

Out and about....mellow yellow

From Fashionistable
Stephanie is a student and was helping out at LFW during the shows in Somerset House - or the mother ship as a lot of us all call it.The helpers were all wearing this lovely scarf she has on. I wonder who is is by? When she finishes Uni Stephanie would like to be a fashion buyer, then she will be able to see the shows from the other side. Her lovely yellow coat is from River Island.

Out and about....Somerset House

From Fashionistable
At first glance it was the abundance of petticoats that made me stop Jennifer. She told me that she had been having second thoughts about her outfit as she was being stared at on the tube. I said it will have been in appreciation at what she was wearing. I love her overall mix of strong colours and pastels. Works beautifully. She is associated with Young British Designers, selling her work there her label name is Ruby Browning. I urge you to check out both links very well worth a look.

Out and about....as the sun was setting

From Fashionistable
I have seen a few of the other bloggers post their shots of Anouck. We all seemed to have met her near the close of play. When I met her she was with a group of girlfriends and they told me not to keep her long as they were all off shoe shopping. I bet they had fun.

Out and about....Roz part 2

From Fashionistable
From Fashionistable
Quite a few other people took pictures of Roz in this outfit. The blue and yellow is a striking combination. I love how people make use of scarves in their hair. I only wish I could do the same.
In her own words (lifted from her blog -hope that is OK Roz) this is what her outfit is comprised today
"The denim dress is vintage Calvin Klein, bought off ebay. The headscarf is Charlotte Taylor, the bag was from a charity shop stall at the Big Chill music festival and the belt was my paternal Grandma's. I think her late son (my dad's brother) made the buckle? The shoes and tights are both from ebay." To see part 1 click here.

Out and about....a quiet moment

Alexandra looked very peaceful reading her book, she has created a little oasis of calm around her. She is a journalist for lookatme.ru. Although it is hard to see in the shot she has lovely freckles.

Out and about....Paris Fashion Week Anna Dello Russo

From Fashionistable
Yes the other waking thought on the Monday was Anna. I had seen her a couple of times before and shot her on the move and apart from the shot in the crowd when she was with Kanye I hadn't caught her. She is amazing, in many ways. It took me a while to realise that if, like everyone else you actually speak to her she will stop. Here she had just passed the 1st bank of photographers and was briefly on her own. So I had my chance. Once she stopped it didnt take long for other photographers to surround me and join in. But she was brilliant and because I had asked her for the shot she looked at me. I love this rock chick look on her - it is Balmain. I wish I had caught more of her looks - next time.

Out and about....Paris Fashion Week Bill Cunningham

From Fashionistable
On the last day I woke and asked myself a question - who do you want to photograph today? Immediately two 2 names came to mind, I cant remember the order but Bill was one (you will see the other tomorrow). I had met and introduced myself to him on the Saturday and later thought I should have asked for a picture. So when I saw him on Monday I thought, thank goodness he is here and went and spoke to him again. And here is my image of him. He was very sweet telling me that he loves what he does. I feel exactly the same way, I love doing this too.

Out and about....Paris Fashion Week, they came they went

Amazingly there was space for us all to shoot from the hip and on your own, except for the guy with the camera in the distance in my 1st shot, who we all had to try and avoid as he happily put himself in the middle of all the other photographers shots and then blamed us for ruining his! Strange man indeed.
Anyway the 1st 5 shots are of guests leaving the Viktor & Rolf show in the Tuileries.

I thought is was great in the park where the Fashionista's were mixing with the general public.

In the next 5 shots I joined the scrum.....I know I know it is the only time I did it though. The 1st 3 are from the Dior show, the last 2 were going to the Sonia Rykiel show.
