Pony Boy: Behind the Scenes

Loving this video that Sarah Keeling shot for my Pony Boy editorial from issue 6 of 1883 Magazine.  It features some great detail shots of a few of my favorite pieces, including the pony hat by Burger Kim, the gold capped shoes from Christian Louboutin and the leather harnesses from Naza Yuzefi.  You can also see a few looks that didn't make the editorial, including an Issey Miyake Men jumpsuit with black crocodile hat from Katie Eary worn by John and the Vivienne Westwood fur coat worn by Jordan.  Hope you enjoy!

I wanted to share some of the inspiration and mood boards behind a few of my recent shoots.  The above is for my 'Pony Boy' editorial shot by Sarah Brimley for issue 6 of 1883 Magazine which was just released in newsstands on Friday.  Obviously a lot of leather and pony skin, lots of black and white shots but mixed with color.  A bit film noir meets S&M.

Below is my mood board for the 'New Hackney Girl' editorial I shot for 1883 Digital with Tomas Hein.  The initial idea for the clothes was a bit more pastel inspired, with eccentric layering and ethnic patterns.  Tomas talked me out of going too pastel which I'm happy about and I was thrilled to see the quirky cut and paste layering he ended up doing with the photos.  Both shoots I'm really proud of!

Pony Boy

Here is my latest menswear editorial, which was released in news stands around the world today in issue 6 of 1883 Magazine.  (Buy it online HERE with 3 cover options to choose from - the Vaccines, model Valerie van der Graaf, or Aaron Taylor-Johnson).  I collaborated with photographer Sarah Brimley who was so fun and chill to work using the lovely McQueen Shoreditch as a location.  I was inspired by a lot of the heavy leather and animal skin found in the FW12 menswear shows - and of course by Burger Kim's perfectly wacky horse hat, which opens the editorial.  Hope you enjoy!  The final shot of Jourdan in a Vivienne Westwood fur jacket laying on a cow-skin rug didn't quite make the final edit but I wanted to share it with all of you.
