London Fashion Week AW14 - Part One

Now that London Fashion Week is over I finally have time to put up some of my images. As always, I spent a wonderfully eventful and consistently surprising week working alongside Daniel for the British Fashion Council. I'm slowly starting to feel more confident with photography and spent a lot of time experimenting with different angles and taking close ups of some of the beautiful details and textures. Perhaps because of studying printed textiles for my degree, I find that that is what I'm always drawn to. The quirky, colourful, off-beat prints by House of Holland and Holly Fulton were a feast for the eyes!

By contrast, I also absolutely loved the dramatic organza flowers and block silhouettes in black and red by John Rocha. I also adored Christopher Raeburn's snugly polar bear-esque furry jumpers, wishing I had one to keep warm about now!

I'm off to Paris today for a couple of the Paris Fashion Week shows and to celebrate my birthday so expect more fashion images soon! I keep meaning to produce some illustrations based on the shows but right now I'm just enjoying playing with photography and finding different way to capture the looks. I'm sure I'll find my way back to fashion illustration when the time is right.

London Collections: Men - Day 2

Day 2 of London Collections boasted some incredible shows. One that really stood out to me was RAKE at The Purple Door which involved red lasers (which brought out everyone's inner-child as guests had fun walking through them before the show) cutting along the catwalk and silver streamers covering the floor. I also loved the clean lines at Nicole Farhi and the scarlet tartan at Casely Hayford which, coincidentally, matched my scarf perfectly!
