Union J for Boys By Girls

Union J / 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!

Boys By Girls Issue 5 Double Covers

LESSONS_CoverMatthewBell_s
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!
