man #1

MAN

My most recent project at uni was to create a new fashion magazine for men, which fulfilled all men's style needs whilst appealing to the typical male consumer. I have found that this typical gentleman does not necessarily like to read about fashion, so therefore 'Man' encourages these males to embrace the fashion industry instead. For all those who contributed to the magazine or helped me with my research, thank you and this is it!

To see the full version of the magazine click on the word 'man' above. Below is a sneak preview of pages from the magazine.

TOKYO

Earlier this month I went on the trip of a lifetime. I initially heard about the Tokyo trip in first year and thought, keep dreaming; never did I think I would ever be able to go. But after working all summer, I somehow managed to raise the funds and I could not let this opportunity go. 

A 12 hour flight later, we landed in Tokyo. My first thoughts were that it was so clean and white, the complete opposite to New York or London. It was also so calm, considering it is the capital city, never once did it feel over-crowded. I think New York is still my favourite city, but Tokyo is another level. You will never experience anything like it. If you ever get the chance to visit you will not be disappointed.

Here is an insight into my week:

Trip of a lifetime.

tim walker: story teller

Last week saw the opening of Tim Walker's new exhibition, Story Teller, in association with Mulberry, at Somerset House. If you are familiar with Walker's work you will understand his obsession with fairytales, and this is exactly what we see throughout the exhibition; a fashion  fairytale. However, Tim Walker would not be able to achieve anything to the standard he does without his fantastic set designer Shona Heath. She is the brains behind a lot of the spectacular images that we know and love from Tim. 

 As you walk through you will see a complete mix of surreal, often spooky, imagery inspired by fairytales that we know and love. These are mixed with stunning fashion photography which captures and enhances the beauty of the subject which alongside the gorgeous gowns creates a really beautiful photograph.

Prior to the opening of the event, Mulberry and Tim Walker teamed up to create this short film which gave viewers a sneak preview of the props and photographs included in the show. Like the photography it is very surreal and very spooky, perfect for Halloween just around the corner.

Mulberry and Tim Walker's Night at the Museum

The exhibition is around until January so if you are in London between now and then, it is definitely worth a visit.

jessie j + elle

So November's cover of ELLE has already been released and gracing the cover this month is the gorgeous Jessie J.

Jessie J has grown up a lot since she first broke out onto the music scene with 'Do it Like a Dude'. She looks so graceful and sophisticated on the ELLE cover wearing a stunning Dolce and Gabbana brocade bodysuit photographed by the legendary Rankin. But despite what anybody has to say, I love Jessie J and she was one of the best acts of the weekend when I saw her at Benicassim festival in the summer. The accompanying editorial is set to be just as exciting with stunning gowns from Giles and A/W12 pieces from the likes of Jean Paul Gautier and Elie Saab. Now I just have to wait till Monday until I can buy the magazine!

lazy oaf

This morning I came across this brand Lazy Oaf and I can't believe I'd never heard of them before. With the fun graphic prints and bright colours, the clothing may not necessarily be my style, but I love the energy and playful image of the brand. Their current A/W12 Lookbook is pretty awesome too with brilliant photography and vibrant imagery.
