Sophie Turner for 1883 Magazine / Outtakes

I recently went through some of my old files to backup my computer and came across a bunch of never before seen outtakes from the feature on Games of Thrones actress Sophie Turner that I styled for 1883 Magazine.  I remember having a tough time choosing which images to use for the printed issue as there were so many amazing photographs by Alena Jascanka to pick from!  I thought I had to share them since there are such die hard Sansa Stark fans out there.  I hope you enjoy!

Union J for Boys By Girls

If you're a fan of boy bands then I'm sure you've heard of Union J, one of the latest groups to come out of the X Factor UK.  I styled them for the 2nd cover of the latest Boys By Girls magazine on the day before I moved away from London.  Cecilie Harris photographed the group and also on board was John Mullan, one of my favorite hair stylists to work with in London.  The boys are all a bit obsessed with their own hair, I don't think I've ever seen so much hair spray action in a room of mostly guys!

We didn't have much time with Union J so I only had a chance to do two looks.  One was head to toe outfits by Christopher Shannon with his collaboration boots with Kickers.  The second look featured on the cover of the issue was full on Topman with shoes by Kurt Geiger.   















It was my kid sister's 13th birthday on the day of the shoot and the boys were even kind enough to sign a polaroid for her.  Lucky girl!

When We Love / 55DSL

Another project I had a chance to work on in the 5th issue of Boys By Girls magazine was an advertorial for 55DSL, a spinoff of Diesel.  Cecilie Harris was our photographer and creative force behind the story and booked us all a cabin in an adorable little trailer court out in the midlands of England for an afternoon.  The olive green, denim blues and mustard yellows of the vintage trailers worked perfectly with the clothing selection - a great mix of denim, casual jumpers, printed t-shirts and button up shirts with a bit of camouflage and knitwear thrown in for fun.   Special thanks to Timberland for lending the boots for the shoot!  I'm so digging on these iconic boots, such a classic 90's throwback style!

Matthew Bell for Boys By Girls

This is one of my favorite menswear stories that I have worked on in awhile and I'm very happy to share it with you.  It's the Matthew Bell cover story from issue 5 of Boys by Girls magazine, shot by Editor in Chief Cecilie Harris and it features some really striking menswear from FW13.  Favorites include the blue look by Wooyoungmi, both the pinstripe top & matching trousers (want that so bad!) as well as the the gingham outfit from Christian Lacroix, the textured orange jacket by A.Sauvage, the pink floral jacket & matching trousers from Katie Eary paired with a Dalmatian print shirt by Joseph Turvey along with so many great pieces from James Long, Markus Lupfer and Xander Zhou.    If I had this wardrobe to chose from every day I'd be in some sort of heaven.

Boys By Girls Issue 5 Double Covers

I'm so proud to share with you the twin covers for issue 5 of Boys By Girls magazine that I styled alongside Editor-in-Chief, photographer and my friend Cecilie Harris. Cecilie brought me in to act as Fashion Editor for this issue and I was so thrilled to be a part of it.  Already having a great fan base, a very personal and approachable mood and a wealth of talented female photographers on board, Cecilie asked me to up the fashion content of the issue by bringing in a mixture of luxury brands like Vivienne Westwood MAN which the smouldering Matthew Bell wears on the cover (love that orange tartan!).



Issue 5 is also the first time that BBG featured any talent and were lucky enough to have the chance to work with X Factor boy band UNION J.  I collaborated with Topman and Kurt Geiger shoes which were featured on the cover, as well as Christopher Shannon who outfitted some of the looks inside the issue.  It's on sale now so get it while you can!
