Teresa Queiros

My photographer friend Katie Jade Atkins sent me over these images by Teresa Queiros saying she wants to do a shoot using these as inspiration along with aspects of some shoots from Rankin's new magazine Hunger (featured below) - well I just couldn't turn her down!

Icey blues, pale greens, silver and whites. Movement, floaty fabrics and awkward posing.

Here's a few buys I have made ready for the shoot next week. Exciting stuff...

Voom Vintage

- Exclusive Vintage & Bespoke Evening Wear -

New vintage stall VavaVoom Vintage opened in my local town just over a month ago and they have some amazing pieces at reasonable prices worth checking out. The company started by passionate vintage fan Gemma Gray appears to be doing well with its inspiring collection and fun atmosphere surrounding the one off stall.

Below is a few of my personal favourites from a recent photoshoot they did to help promote some of their garments for sale.

Location - Broad Street, King's Lynn, PE30 1DP

Red Research

Depth of research into 'red' shoot -

Well the first main thing to pop into my head was of course the genius of Valentino - his red block statement evening dress' are simply to die for. Simple styling yet such a bold eye catching look.

Red = Christmas Colour - Valentino = Ball Gown

Take a stunningly simple design yet vibrate coloured dress and use it in a shoot on location of opposite appearance of where you would expect to see it, maybe?

Capes are also on trend this season so making an up to date version shoot of red riding hood could be a possibility especially with an amazing location - perfectly matching the seasonal christmas edition of the publication...?

Ready for Red?

So Papercut Magazine are welcoming a submission for their December issue under the concept of 'Red'....- I'm hoping to working a submission shoot with photographer Katie Jade from Norwich. Here's my initial brainstorm images of this concept...

- Tartan - Valentino - Glitter - Lipstick - Florence Welch - Riding Hood - Rihanna - Phone Box - Rose -

Punk vs Cruella Deville

Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture - SS'11

Never one to dissapoint Gaultier shocks this season yet again with a strong punk vibe of mohawks, dog collars, studs, chains, metal pearls and black leather.

Another influence from the collection has to be the iconic bold look of the disney character Cruella Deville from 101 Dalmations. Check out my contrast of a model from the Haute Courture show (left) and Glenn Close in the 1996 adaptation of 101 Dalmations (right).

Other eye candy of a similar theme....

Brit POP

I'm dying to get my hands on this copy, waiting every 6 months is a killer. And now that this issue has Ms Britney Spears as it's covers it makes it even more gold in my hands once I get my copy. Can't wait eeeek. :)

Free As A Gypsy

Hello Kitty.

Lady Gaga v Hello Kitty shoot = wacky doll like images.

Leigh Clark Always.

Again another shoot from Lula and one of my favourite stylists Leigh Clark.

This shoot uses mostly colour blocking which is huge at the moment and these looks prove how well it can be done.

Romantic

Here's an old shoot from Lula which always grabs me.

The lighting and setting is just perfect.

Lula Pretty In Pink

Lula is the magazine I get most excited for every 6 months - editor Leigh Clark styles a lot of the shots and her work is beautiful. Here's some snaps from my personal favourite shoot from the publication so far - it's plastered on my bedroom wall and is a gorgeous sight to wake up to every morning with a dreamy romantic feel to it.
