Michael Shannon / Fault Magazine

This is my cover story with Oscar nominated actor Michael Shannon, aka the guy famed for his dramatic reading of that crazy ass Delta Gamma sorority letter, from the July issue of FAULT Magazine.  Actually he's more famous for being the bad dude opposite Superman in Man of Steel or the prohibition era policeman in Boardwalk Empire (OBSESSED with that show - miss you Michael Pitt!).

I teamed up once again with Alexandra Leese for this story and we wanted to give it a modern gangster or mafia boss sort of vibe with suits by Louis Vuitton, Hardy Amies, Tommy Hilfiger, etc, to play up his recent role as a hitman in The Iceman which he starred in opposite Winona Rider.  (I feel like I'm two degrees of Kevin Bacon away from like, everyone now...I so win that game).  I was so thrilled to be on board this and for the chance to work with such an amazing character actor.  He's definitely a bit intimidating in person similar to most of the characters he plays, a combination of his size, his presence, his persona - I was kind of a afraid to adjust his collar or tweak his jacket without asking permission to first!  But all in all he's a decent guy and it was a pleasure meeting him.

This is from a feature story I styled for issue 7 of 1883 Magazine with soon-to-be-big actress Alice Englert.  You can see her onscreen in Ginger & Rosa opposite Elle Fanning or in the soon released flick Beautiful Creatures which is sure to be a huge hit.  She was so chill and had an easy going, sweet & sincere vibe about her so it made for a lovely afternoon.  Check our her full interview in 1883's 'Timeless Issue' in stores now.

'till Sunday / Boys by Girls

This is a story I styled recently for Boys by Girls online. We wanted a slightly chavvy boy in an not so chavvy setting and lucky enough the photographer Georgie Wileman's brother's friend has an uber kitschy/adorable grandma style apartment that she kindly let us use.  Love Jack's 90's boy band hair in this!

Friends for 1883 Magazine

One of my first projects for issue 6 of 1883 Magazine was to style the Brooklyn based band 'Friends' for a 3 page feature story. It was almost a total disaster as due to miscommunication with their PR, the band showed up having no idea I was bringing clothing along for them to wear. The guys were fully against being clothed by a stylist but luckily the girls Samantha (lead singer) and Lesley (bassist) loved the organza John Rocha dresses I brought so the day was saved. Phew.



Kirill Kuletski photographed the shoot in my friends Iran & Baron's tiny flat on Clerkenwell Road (thanks guys!) I chose the place because I loved their scribbles and drawings on the wall and randomly they had a giant bag full of these gold streamers which went perfectly with the John Rocha looks and basically covered up the boys own clothing.



The girls were both really gorgeous to photograph and loved the Chopard jewellery we brought along (love how Samantha stuck the earring in her hair).  So in the end it was a good day.  Buy issue 6 online HERE to check out the full interview with Friends and check out a few of their videos below.

1883 Editor's Pick

I wanted to share one of my favorite images from issue 6 of 1883 which is my Editor's Pick, shot by the super talented and totally sweet Cecilie Harris.  Orange was my inspiration for my first ever pick as Fashion Editor, and I chose to feature a striped eel skin and wool top from Lanvin for the boys and a very Grandma's curtain print pair of Dolce & Gabbana boots for the ladies, both from FW12. Below are a few other shots of models Sam from Next & Caitlin from Select which didn't make it into the magazine but which I love just as much.



ps. you can buy issue 6 of 1883 Magazine here.

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.
