I see you.

Taken as part of my portfolio for university interviews, on a very, very crisp January day. I have to admit, at first it was hard for me to get over the embarrassment and my own preconceptions of staging a 'photo shoot' where i was the model. However, the point of past caring came after the wind had gotten to my exposed toes and i couldn't feel my feet anymore in the starappy heels. I bet the sight of me doing outfit changes in the car was also quite a shock to the dog walkers. So i guess i wasn't the only one who experienced something new that day.
Anyway, all's well that ends well, I got into the university that i wanted to and am waiting to move into halls later on in the year.

A Macabre Affair

It was earlier this year, at Paris Fashion week when British designer, Gareth Pugh took us on a dark journey pertaining to the stark and unsettling image of death.

It was the styling and make-up, which gave the show a hauntingly ghost like feel that transformed both models and Pugh's designs into unyielding structural forces.

The monastically long hem lines, and high necks gave the show a Couture touch, and although 
the 'Ready to Wear' aspect of the collection may be called into question, it is the separates which prove surprisingly versatile.

You can imagine the clean lined, wrap over jackets over a pair of skinny jeans. You can imagine the delicate branch print, snaking its way up more commercial interpretations of the collection, and onto accessories.

But it is the immaculate execution of the relationship between both garment and mood, that makes this show so impressive.
