Out and About....Graduate Fashion Week 2013 day 1

I am starting the Graduate Fashion Week with this one image of Khloe and Benjamin. I was loving the mono vibe between them. They are both graduating from Liverpool Johns in Fashion Communication. Khloe is wearing Oliver Peoples Gregory Peck glasses, everything is Topshop. Benjamin is wearing  Tom Ford glasses, Zara jacket and top, ASOS trousers, Zara shoes and he found his bag in the loft at home.
Today I was also shooting for Vogue so the rest of my images from today will go live tomorrow.

Out and about....3 colours blue

Emily works in Interior Design for APA. Here favourite place in London is Night Jar in the east end. Her surprise was that she had just arrived back in the UK from San Paulo where she had been designing shops. Her 3 colours blue in the shot are a blue hat from HYM, blue DVF coat and blue Topshop jeans. Her shoes are Converse and her bag was from ASOS.

Out and about...Graduate Fashion Week part 3

From Fashionistable

Matt Bosbridge has just graduated in promotions. He was going to an interview about promoting his own designs which, is why he told me, he was suited and booted. He has obviously decided to used his newly gained degree wisely. For his interview he has chosen to wear an ASOS suit, Ben Sherman shirt, vintage DM's and briefcase. His surprise for us is that he loves chick flicks.

Miles Dumphy has just graduated from Birmingham specialising in menswear design. He was very excited about showing his work and was looking out for one of his models while I was shooting. Next up he is hoping for a place at the RCA to do an MA. His surprise for us was that he loves music and loves to smile. Miles is wearing a Nike jacket, Kooples shirt, NBA basketball shirt, his own design trousers, Okiai shoes and is carrying a Jan Sport bag.

Mr Porter - Luke like Miles is a menswear designer who would also like to go on to do an MA. I wish them both success. He is wearing a suit he bought in a charity shop on Berwick Street. He cut off the trousers and added the shiny detail on the collar.. His T is from H&M and shoes are Topman. Now, I wouldn't ordinarily say OK to white socks on a guy (unless he was playing sport) but I think I have found an exception with this look.

Out and about....the golden diamond

I have to start my post by saying that the 1st image today is one of the reasons I truly love streetstyle photography all summed up in one word, spontaneity. If I had been setting this up we would have had to get a whole team together and cast the bike and rider for the background. Well maybe the guy on the bike would have looked different, but apart from that I couldn't have asked for more. It is such a kick when you see it all fall into place in the lens. And to have Doina as the main focus of the shot, perfect. Doina is the force behind The Golden Diamonds, her about me says that her biggest dreams are to develop the Fashion Industry in Moldova and also to become a politician. So quite a broad brush of interests. She has certainly been making in roads on the fashion front as I was just reading in her tweets that the shoot for her own collection was taking place on yesterday - Monday. And you will eventually be able to see it and buy it from here. So to give you a flavour of what to expect, the skirt and shirt in the 1st shot are her own design, which she has paired with an Armani coat, Chloe shoes and YSL bag. In the second the jacket is her own design, worn with Massimo Dutti jeans, Zara sweater, Chloe shoes and is carrying her iPad in a Stella McCartney iPad cover. Her last look is made up of a polo neck and skirt from ASOS, vintage lace over the polo, YSL shoes and she is carrying a Moschino bag.

Out and about...Regent St

Jordan was running late for his next class but was great and gave me a few moment before he had to rush off. He is a 1st year womenswear designer at LCF. When I asked him about his own style he said he likes to wear anything dark, he doesn't like colour. He also likes his clothing to be comfy and relaxed.Originally from Newcastle his favourite place in London so far is Shoreditch and back home is South Shields. His surprise for us is that he likes Soul and Blues music. He is wearing a Topman scarf, a cardy from ASOS, his Aunty knit his sweater for him, trousers are from Camden Market and his boots are Vivienne Westwood.

Out and about....Verversstraat

From Fashionistable

I spotted Thanee as she was stepping out of a shop. I thought her coat was wonderful warm and cuddly. She said her style influence was the singer Leykke Li. Her surprise is that she would like to be a lawyer which her friends (who were with her) find amazing. Not that she couldn't do it but because it seems so straight for her. Her favourite place in Amsterdam is Waterlooplein. Thanee's coat is from ASOS, Her earrings are Urban Outfitters, sweater is Primark, bag NewYorker and shoes are Clarks.

Out and about....Brick Lane

From Fashionistable

Julia is from Moscow and is in the UK studying fashion, media and communication at the London College of Fashion She told me that her style depends on her mood. Sometimes romantic, rock, punk and brutal, depends. Her surprise was that she plays base guitar and used to be in a rock band called Deadly Skills. Today her glasses, top and skirt are all from Topshop. Her coat and bag are from ASOS, scarf is All Saints and boots are vintage from Paris.

Out and about....the teacher and a sneak peak

From Fashionistable

Natalie is an Art Teacher in West Hampstead. Her favourite place in London though is Primrose Hill. When I asked her to tell me something surprising about herself her boyfriend said something which I didn't quite catch and she wouldn't let him repeat it. What she was happy for us to know was that she is a competitive baker. I wonder who she competes with. She is wearing a hat from a charity shop, ASOS top, trousers from a vintage store in Brighton and Topshop shoes.
Now for the sneak peak - I  (and some other bloggers (don't know who they are yet) were given a brief by the PR agency that look after Filofax, to photograph a choice of one of their new ranges. Much more to follow tomorrow.
