SS'13 Key Trends for the Mall Cribbs Causeway

The other week I was asked by the Mall at Cribbs Causeway to help with a new venture they were starting as part of the Fashion Week they host... Key Trends!

Key trends is a capsule look at the trends featured in the catwalk shows at Fashion Week, showing where to buy, and how to style.

It's always a pleasure working with the team at The Mall - everyone is so friendly, lovely and it was incredibly enjoyable to work with all the lovely models.

             

   

Below is a Film Edit of behind the scenes at Fashion Week - if you look closely, you can spot me!

I had the pleasure of shooting for Lucy again on this fabulous collection which she designed + made herself, which completely astounded me with such gorgeous texture, colour and tailoring.

Lucy is a wonderful girl who completely lives and breathes fashion and is so talented, not to mention a total sweetheart. It was so lovely to collaborate with so many talented ladies and have such a lovely afternoon shooting with plenty of tea to hand!

A big thank you to the girls for being such fantastic models and to everyone involved on the day!

Moda de la Mode Magazine; Issue 2

Last month I had the pleasure of being published in the fantastic Moda de la Mode Magazine!
The two images that were featured came from a beauty shoot that I did with gorgeous Oxygen/Sanda Reynolds model Katie and the talented make up artist Katy Pheiffer. One of my favourite things about shooting is the way you are able to meet such genuine and inspiring creatives to make these lovely images.

I sometimes find Studio work quite tedious - especially my own, as my studio isn't too big and I'm limited to the set ups I can use but I love these images! 

 Sadly I didn't make it to the launch party of Moda de la Mode's second issue which was an utter shame - I look forward to meeting the lovely Editor Grace in the near future, I'm sure our paths will cross again soon!

Lucy Symons

I love finding like-minded creatives and collaborating with them - especially those who are doing something slightly different to the norm!

I met Lucy via Facebook and was blown away by her designs & creativity. We her eco-concious collection just before her degree show with the help of beautiful model Sara and make up by Scarlett.

Lucy's skirt was made of wood shavings & looked absolutely unique with it's dip hem, not to mention the cute little laser cut bra let!

I'm going to be shooting Lucy's next collection this coming week which I am very excited about, I can't wait to see her new collection on set.

Boutique 33 Spring Summer '12

A few months back along with a lovely creative team we shot the Spring Summer Lookbook for Boutique 33 - a boutique in Clifton, Bristol that's had a beautiful make over by owner Naomi.

I was incredibly inspired by Clifton Village where the Boutique is located and I really wanted the images to stick out that Clifton was where it was photographed - if you're a local, you'll certainly recognise landmarks!

Bristol Fashion Week SS'12

I love this time of year where we forget about the dark Winter days and embrace Spring/Summer with full force! I joined the lovely Gina Dyer at BFW this time, shooting some Street Style for the first BFW Bloggers Event at The Mall Cribbs Causeway - it was so lovely to see lots of gorgeously dressed pretty ladies!

We had the loveliest cakes and pink fizz before heading though to the show, where the lovely Gina bagged best seat in the house; end of the Runway, in the centre!

So Mark Heyes & Andrew Barton hosted the show, which was wonderful. I really loved the theatrical aspect to the shows, it was visually stunning with projections behind the Model's really giving you a feel for each scene.

 

 

  

I'm a very visual person so for me, it was wonderful! It was incredibly difficult to keep up with the ever changing lights but I like a challenge, and it worked incredibly well for the show!

Many thanks for the lovely girls who let me take their photo, and a huge thank you to Gina for letting me come along, and The Mall Cribbs Causeway for hosting the event.

To end, a very cheery summery photo of me & my lovely Assistant for the day, Rach before the show started!
