photo collage

Robert Pattinson, this ones on my wall!



Flyer for Fabric




I first discovered the works of James Dawe when he did an illustration for a fiction piece in Elle magazine and instantly loved his style. He is an illustrator/ photo collager who works digitally and in analogue to create imagery usually in the form of portraits. I love the way he interprets everyday images in a surreal and fantastical way.

Wear the Wild Things

'Where The Wild Things Are'
Katie the tiger

Me for Merri

Anna Selezneva


I am still yet to see 'where the wild things are' but it is sure to have been an influential source for recent fashion trends. Animal prints have been popular for a while but now it has become a phenomenon for paws, all in one suits and hoods with ears to be worn.
Merri making hoods (www.merrimaking.co.uk) is a nottingham based company specialising in animal hoods and have already been a hit here and in London. Katie from the blog 'what katie wore' has been featured wearing one, and I was also lucky enough to feature on the flyer for the hoods.

Alice in her Wonderland

The release of Tim Burtons Alice in Wonderland in March is sure to set off a theme for fashion designers and editorial photo shoots in 2010. In the past, the story has inspired photographers from Tim Walker to Annie Lebowitz and designers from Karl Lagerfield to Viktor & Rolf. I'm sure that we are to see a resurgence of this whimsical and surreal world of Alice and the Mad Hatter.

Balmain Menswear Spring 2010








In contrast to Balmain's womenswear, simplicity is a virtue. Distressed t-shirts with slim fit army trousers and fitted leather jackets are a big thumbs up for me. Especially with this James Dean-esque model, the line has a rebel edge to it.

Smart vs. Stupid

I've always been a fan of Diesel's light hearted and cheeky ad campaigns but their spring/summer BE STUPID campaign has really tickled me. Another very innovative viral marketing technique from Diesel. A stupid is as a stupid does.

February's Russian Vogue






February's issue of russian vogue features a photo shoot with the beautiful french model Magdalena Frackowiak. I love the styling of this shoot, it looks like a very hazy, bohemian day in the 60's.






The beautiful work of illustrator and digital artist Minjae Lee aka. Greeno. Despite being only 19, the young korean has amazing talent and skill. He is sure to go far!
