Out and about....the boys are back in town

When Reo, Joe and Jonas walked past they emitted such a force of cool sartorial style I just had to stop them. Turns out they are all fashion designers. They don't work as a team it just looks that way when the street. If you want to see more they are all on instagram @reo_ma, @joe_h and @jonaspoon. With the London Men's Collections starting next week I am looking forward to much more of this.

I met Bertie shopping in Columbia Road, which is a wonderful vibrant part of London, especially on a Sunday when the flower market is on. Bertie works in an Architectural School as an assistant to the director. I loved her coat and didn't realise until we started shooting that she is expecting a baby, who will be with us in May. Her beautiful coat is was vintage when she bought it 10 years ago, it is a 1960's Harris Tweed from John Lewis. The scarf was a gift from Russia, her jeans are actually Topshop maternity dungarees. Bertie bought her bag at a vintage fair and her shoes are from Kurt Geiger.
The second shot is a cafe in the market. It is nice just observe sometimes.

I have so many pictures in my archive I still haven't shared with you. This is one of them. When I was going through my shots I opened this one which had just been labeled Editor. There is no way of knowing everyone you take pictures of and sometimes it is nice to shoot just for the pictures sake. When I opened the image I realised that actually I do recognise her now and shot her again this time for Vogue when I was in Milan in September, you can see that image here. This is the beautiful Leila Yavari, former political science Ph.D. student at Berkley turned fashion model and is now fashion director for StyleBop.com

It was lovely to bump into Francesco the other day. It is usually only during Fashion Weeks we see each other. Francesco is a Fashion Consultant and Blogger, you can see his blog here. And a picture I took of him for GQ here. This time we had a bit more time to chat so I was able to ask him more about himself. When asked where his favourite place in London was he gave me 4 answers. To visit is The Tate Modern "I find the place fascinating". To eat "this changes very often, currently Meat Liquor does great a burger in a cool setting." To drink is "The Art Club in Dover Street". For wondering around is "Brixton Village, because south is the new east!"And for our surprise he said "I'd love to live in the National Gallery, surrounded by beautiful art and history"
In our 1st picture today Francesco is wearing a Dior coat, McQueen scarf, Jil Sander trousers, Paul Smith socks Zara shoes and clutch in both shots is MCL by Matthew Campbell Laurenza.
The 2nd shot was taken during LFW Francesco was excited that I taking him into the middle of the road to take his picture. Here he is wearing H&M glasses and top, Lanvin shirt and shoes, Fendi bowtie and 5th Avenue shoe repair trousers.

Out and about....c'est la Guerre

From Fashionistable

From Fashionistable

When the fashion weeks start in some ways it is like a big family getting back together and when one of our numbers are missing we wonder where they are. Some of the family only show up in certain cities and others are there in them all. You get along with some family members more than others. Most are pleasent some are downright rude. But generally get are all there for each other, helping with directions to the next show, working out the transport system in each city and sharing cabs when necessary. All heading our seperate ways as the light fades as it is a very busy time for us and all have deadlines to meet.
Guerre is a member of the family I would consider a friend. When I was growing up at home in Ireland we would regularly say "c'est la vie" as a way of explanation my dad would always respond back with "c'est la guerre". It makes me smile to realise I am now friends with Guerre. I find the fact that Guerre has this name an amazing juxtaposition as he in one of the most peaceful people I know.
I have photographed Guerre before for GQ and would have done so again in London in September but London was the city he missed this season. And with the best reason in the world as his wife, had just given birth to their second daughter. It was Guerres idea to take the 1st picture in this series today and when I saw him again the next day I decided we should make it a series. After all Guerre as you can see is actually one the best dressed guys on the fashion week circuit. And not only the epitiome of style and grace is a great photographer and has a wonderful blog too which you can see here.
In the first look Guerre is wearing a Pinzano hat, Eton shirt, Ralph Lauren trousers and Grenson shoes. Look two is a Dobbs hat, vintage top, Hickey Freeman trousers Coach belt and Cole Haan shoes. Look three is a Borsalino hat, Dior shirt, Coach belt, Paul Stuart trousers and Chole Haan shoes.

Tashi is a student. She got into the whole Lolita, Japanese Street Style movement when she lived and went to school in Tokyo for 3 years. She bought her dress at Hyper Japan last year and her hair like all the girls this week is a wig. Her own hair is actually blonde. I think the red looks perfect on her though.

It has been a busy few weeks for me. On Wednesday I was out shooting for Urbansquire. The brief was to photograph at the RCA and to get the lads and lasses there to be photographed wearing a Urbansquire beanie of their choice. As a further incentive to have their picture taken the images have been entered into a Urbansquire competition on their facebook page and the person with the most likes will win £100 and a beanie. If you fancy helping out the guys you can see all the images properly by following this link then going to the Unbansquire facebook page from there and liking your favourite. Otherwise you could always tell me here which one you like best.
I have to say it was a great day to take pictures and the light by the RCA was amazing.
