This is by far one of my favorite editorials I've worked on.  It was a feature on the SS13 collection by Acne Studios and it was my first time working with Mark Shearwood, who've I've since worked on a few others stories with. I found the styling of Acne's catwalk presentation to be quite heavy and weighed down, so I really wanted to lighten that up in this story by not doing quite so much layering.  Super happy with the result and I love how both these girls worked together - they almost look like the same girl except you'll notice Mary's eyebrows are quite dark whereas Marina's are bleached out to look like they aren't even there.

Check out Nicholas Hoult looking handsome in full look SS13 Mugler with some patent leather Christian Louboutin loafers for the promo video of 1883 Magazine's Sweet & Sour issue.  Jelly beans & airplanes & chalk outlines - doesn't really make that much sense but with eyes as blue as those, who gives a shit?

Love love my latest editorial 'Twitterpated' for the 8th issue of 1883 Magazine.  Anna Bu, a Ukrainian artist who studies at Central Saint Martins collaborated with us on this story by cut and pasting a collage of spring-like flora and fauna.  We were initially going to cast a male (as it is a menswear story) but when Lia from IMG came in the office, her androgynous good looks made me want to cast her on the spot.  Big shout out to Elliott - such a pleasure to work with!

Nicholas Hoult for 1883 Magazine

Issue 8, the Sweet & Sour issue of 1883 is out now with up and coming leading man Nicholas Hoult as photographed by Mark Cant.  (Buy it online HERE).  I styled this story with some of my favorites pieces from SS13, including stripes from Acne Studios, bright shoes with neon piping from Christian Louboutin, Moschino's Budweiser and laundry detergent inspired prints and a double breasted number from Dior Homme.

He was a chill guy to work with and while he confessed he may not wear any of these clothes in public, he was happy enough to play a character for our editorial purposes.  Still haven't seen him in either Warm Bodies or Jack the Giant Killer yet - but what I'm really psyched about is the remake he shot of Mad Max (hence the shaved head) which will be coming out next year. Hope you like the pics - be sure to buy a copy online to read the full article!

1883 Magazine - Issue 8 cover stars

Issue 8 finally drops next week featuring Nicholas Hoult, whom I styled for my first ever cover. Yay! Shot by Mark Cant, I used a mouthful of jelly beans as a playful reference to the magic beans in the Jack and the Beanstalk fairy tale his new movie Jack the Giant Killer is based on. A friend's boyfriend says it looks like he has a mouthful of pills, which is actually an awesome reference to his time on the British show Skins. Either way you look at it, I'm happy.  Plus he looks rad in the Mugler shirt and jacket with his new buzzed hair, fresh from filming the upcoming Mad Max remake.

The second cover features Aussie rapper Iggy Azaelea looking lovely in a Louis Vuitton dress as styled by my fashion director Filippo Giuliani and shot by Mark Shearwood.

Help a brother out and buy the issue HERE guys!

Semipermanent

I'm slowly catching up with my friends Eric & Tiffany's Seoul based TV series 'Semipermanent', and just had to share two more episodes.  The episode above titled 'State of the Art' meets up with some more Seoul kids I know including the talented Jamie Bruno who paints murals on abandoned or soon to be torn down homes in the city, as well as Udo Lee, a curator at Platoon Kunsthalle - one of my favorite old haunts in Seoul.  Watching the episode really made me miss all the events that went on at Platoon from concerts to gallery openings and especially the Night Flea Market where I used to make bank every month selling vintage & reformed clothes!  

Episode 6 'All Dressed Up' was especially bittersweet to watch as it focused on Seoul's fashion scene. My boy James Lee McGuown spoke to Eric & Tiff behind the scenes at Seoul Fashion Week while he was getting ready for the Kimseoryong Homme show and there were so many familiar faces popping up from designers I used to know and work with to dressers I recognized and models like Won Joong Kim or Jin Wook Yoon that I used to walk in shows with.  Also very cool to see Dongdaemun fashion market again - I used to spend hours there searching through all the trimmings and fabrics and whatnot. While I might not live there again, I WILL GO BACK ONE DAY!  I can't not - it's my home away from home!  

Seoul - I miss you!

A-Z New Asian Talent / Surface Asia Magazine

The latest issue of Surface Asia is out featuring a fashion article on the A to Z of New Asian Talent to which I contributed a few pages about up and coming Korean designers.  Writing and researching for this article really had me missing hitting up Seoul Fashion Week each season - fingers crossed I can arrange sponsorship for this April :)  

Also - don't forget the quirky cool cover story by Hasisi Park and styled by my friend Sarah Kate  - well done babygirl!

Semipermanent: The Expat Life

Yay! I'm so glad to see my friends Tiffany & Eric & Hassan doing so well in Seoul. Tiff & Eric used to live in the apartment right next door to me (I could literally reach over my balcony and knock on their window lol). I remember them talking about a TV project they were working on and being excited by the sounds of it - and now to see it come to fruition is so awesome. Love how beautifully the film is shot and how sincere the storytelling is, reminding me so much of what I miss about being an expat in Korea. Well done guys - can't wait to see the next episode!

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.

Circus Propaganda

Another editorial of mine that was published recently in Client Magazine - love the black & white and the textures of the location. The photographer Alex and her team are geniuses at lighting, and the 5 boys were all very cool in their own unique ways.

My second look from London Collections: Men AW12. Huge thanks to Chinese designer Xander Zhou for letting me wear his platform shoes (I NEED these - they make me so much more giant than I already am) and also to the team at Trace PR for letting me wear the QASIMI outfit.

'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!
