Out and about....Raleigh on

From Fashionistable
Tokyo is a creative director. I shot this at LFW for GQ. They didn't run it but I think it is great and thought Tokyo looked very dapper in his red coat with the red Raleigh bike as his accessory. (Was it because it was a women's bike?) What do you think? Tokyo is wearing a SS13 Hugo Boss coat, YSL trousers, Gourmet shoes, Xhanard rings, KT2 glasses and his saddle bag is by Tim Lupo.

Out and about....October Street Chic part 1

From Fashionistable
From Fashionistable
From Fashionistable
Here is the first of my weekly winter installments for Street Chic. To see the rest of the images click here. Two of the images here were shot in Somerset House. I had gone there to see the Tim Walker exhibition, which was amazing. Story Teller is the perfect name for his new book. He certainly is a master story teller. I cannot tell you how much I love his work. He is by far my favourite living photographer. If you are in London you should pop along. The exhibition also incorporates props from his shoots and the images are not only on the walls but also displayed in packing crates amongst the props - see below and on Instagram @Fashionistable for a taste of what to expect. I am going back. It was also lovely to see the beautiful majestic expanse of Somerset House without an event going on in the courtyard. I was able to use the space in a way I have never been able to before.

Out and about....Gary Pepper

From Fashionistable
Nicole Warne is the beautiful face of Gary Pepper Vintage. This is a shot I took of her after the Roksanda Ilincic show in September. I also shot her in Milan. You can see that shot here. During the fashion weeks I heard her say that people had been saying unkind things about her for although she has a vintage ethos she had been wearing a lot of new designer clothing. Her reply to her critics was that if someone like Dolce and Gabbana ask you to wear their clothing you are not going to turn them down are you. I certainly wouldn't. What girl in her right mind wouldn't jump at that chance.
In this image she is wearing a Viktoria and Woods top, Zimmermman skirt, Patricia Chang necklace, Charlotte Olympia shoes and is carrying a Mnologie Perspex clutch.

Out and about....we love Peony part one

From Fashionistable
From Fashionistable
While I was taking pictures during LFW these were the words of one of my editors "we love Peony make sure you take her picture". Anyone who knows me knows I have been taking pictures of Peony for years now. And is no surprise she is a darling of the fashion editors as well the photographers. She is always beautifully turned out and it is always a treat to see what she is wearing each day. And to top it all off she is a real sweetheart too. For our post today she is wearing a Patricia Chang dress, Tibi shirt Marie Mercie ears, Alaia shoes and is carrying a vintage bag.

Out and about....phone a friend

From Fashionistable
This is a very familiar sight during all fashion weeks. Everyone gets separated after the shows for one reason or another and at some point you need to find your friends. Or the rush is on to get to the next show and find (if you are lucky enough to have one) your driver. How on earth did we survive in the past without iPhone or Blackberry? Mostly the girls are looking for their friends. From the shots above I was able to direct Elisa to hers without her trying any further to get through. In some ways the phone can also be used as a defence mechanism, used as a barrier to try and keep the constant bombardment of photographers at bay. It can't be easy being photographed all the time.

Out and about....Andrea Rosso 55DSL

From Fashionistable
This is the second time I have met Andrea. The first time was in Paris earlier this year, when he was with his brother Stefano before the Victor and Rolf show in the Tuileries. It was a different park this time, Regents Park. Are we destined to meet in gardens? Andrea is the creative director of 55DSL. He likes vintage clothing and doesn't really see himself as a very fashionable dresser. But I think you will agree he certainly has a 55DSL/Diesel inspired look. Here he is wearing a vintage Stouda hat, Dunhill jumper, vintage shirt, Diesel jeans, New Balance trainers and is carrying a 55DSL bag.

Out and about....behind the scenes

From Fashionistable
From Fashionistable
Sometimes it is hard to decide which image to choose. Which do you prefer? I shot Eleonora at London, Milan and Paris fashion weeks. You have already had a glimpse of this shoot on Instagram. Eleonora kindly stepped to the side with me so I could take these pictures. Another photographer sneaked up behind and she told them off which was so sweet of her. I can't tell you how many times I had set up shots and others just stepped in. To the point where they tell me off saying it is not my shot. If I have time I will wait until the interloper has taken their shot and when they have finished I will continue to, or move location to get my shot. It really depends on the situation and how well the person I am shooting knows me. In this shot the lovely Eleonora is wearing a beautiful Alberta Ferretti dress and looks very Hollywood in it.

Out and about....rue de l'ecole Medicine

From Fashionistable
You saw a brief glimpse of Carlotta in Mondays post. She is Anna Dello Russo's assistant at Vogue Japan. As you can see I also managed to catch her on her own in a quite moment before the high energy of the Jardin des Tuileries. Nice choice as an assistant for Anna I think. Looking forward to seeing more of Carlotta.  If you want to learn more about her, her background and how she got to work with Anna here is a great Q&A. She is wearing a Kenzo top, MSGM skirt, Miu Miu shoes and is carrying a Paula Cademartori bag.

I want to go shopping with Andreea from Dreaming of Chanel. Can you believe that everything she is wearing is high street. I was bowled over when she told me what she was wearing. It is so beautifully put together. Here goes, coat Zara, skirt Forever 21, jewellery New Look, watch River Island, shoes and bag Primark, belt Topshop and earrings Chanel. When asked for a surprise she told me she just loves life. Me too.

Meet my new assistant - Anna has a new assistant. What do you think? I think she looks like a younger version of herself.

From Fashionistable
Anna Dello Russo resplendent in Chanel also wearing 2 of her own bracelets designed for her colabaration with H&M. For Anna this season was all about short dresses, well every time I saw her anyway.

From Fashionistable
After Valentino - I don't know who these guys are (I should have asked them). She looks magnificent.

From Fashionistable
After Giambattista Valli - in this instance I did ask her name but she didn't want to tell.
