Vinyl Illustration

The past week has been spent trying to put together a half decent portfolio for my university interviews.
This has meant that alot of my projects at college have had to be put on fast forward and done to a pretty good standard.
Below are some more images of my work for my new project on Vinyl artwork.

Hope that you like it!

What Would Your Mother Say?

As the final outcome for my Extended Project Diploma , I was asked to create and style a photoshoot based on my choosen theme.
It took me no time to develop the theme of "What would your mother say?" but weeks to decide on storyboards,clothes, props and models and to choose each photographs' theme.
Last friday , the shoot finally took place and my gorgeous school friend Amy Manson (Models One) agreed to model for me.
Below are the final results of over 200 photos..

Chace Cohl- Doe in the Headlights

Chace Cohl's style can only be described as boho chic, as headwear designer for website littledoeislove.com, Chace has done photoshoots for V magazine, the independant and has even appeared in style/ interior bible "The Selsby".
Chace teams vintage victorian dresses with lace up boots, chanel jackets with denim hotpants to create her signature calafornian hippy look.
Little doe's head dresses though , are something else.
They look as though they've been plucked from an MGMT video shoot and rolled around in the hills from the sound of music, to create something unique and exciting.
Little Doe designer, chace is also part of folk, hippie band Weepaw- confirming that Chace really can do everything.

Got The Chop

Finally got rid of my extensions and am embraceing my bob again.
Must get dip-dyed hair soon , meadham kirchoff style!
Ok maybe not but atleast Lexie Chung style.

An Aldridge Sister

As much as I still love Lily Aldridge and her calafornian style, her younger sister Ruby seems to be pulling more unique and exciting looks out of the bag.

She recently appeared in the Marc jacobs s/s 10 campaign and on the runway for Henry Holland.

Rubys' style expresses her fun loving personality and she's one of very few models who aren't afraid to pull a funny face every now and then.

Terry and Tumblr

So i re-activated my tumblr and got stuck right in.
Re-blogging, posting and quoting just for a bit of fun.
The one thing that struck me though, was the amount of photographs taken by Terry Richardson.
He's one of my favourite photographers and i'm a huge fan of his portraits against a white backdrop- that's terrys' thing.

Cycle Chic

I have a confession. I can't ride a bike.
I swear sometimes I can't even look at a bike without fearing its going to run me over and knock me flat on my face.
My attitude on the subject has always been that "No one even rides bikes these days, im never going to need to".
This stemmed from several lessons from my best friend, in which I held on to her the whole time whilst screaming and cursing every obsticle in my way.
But recently I've had to swallow my words , with four weeks until I go to Paris , i'm starting to think I should do the Parisian thing- pull on my best boots and circle the city on bike.
I've scoured lookbook after lookbook and blog after blog and bikes really are the accessory for s/s 11.
Looks like I'll be sorceing wicker baskets before I know it.

Kate Moss and Lea T for LOVE

I actually want to squeel a little, new LOVE is out on 7th february and @Lovemagazine has just tweeted one of the various magazine covers..
LOVE the magazine.
HATE that it's only published twice a year.

My Music Is Where I'd Like You To Touch

When told that we were allowed to choose our own brief this term for college, I jumped at the chance of exploring a familiar topic and learning a little bit more about it.
Two hours later, I decided that my theme would be based around album and vinyl covers along with gig leaflets and flyers.
To begin my research process, I have started to gather a large number of cd's, leaflets and vinyl covers to draw from.
Heres how i've gotten on so far..

Pleats and Dip Dye - Felicity Brown

Felicity Brown has to be my favourite designer of all time.
Her work is something that's inavative, beautiful and dareing all at once.
It's clear that Brown is not afraid to play around with textile samples, each dress looks like its been thought out a million times, manipulated over and over and then dip dyed perfectly to add a quirky touch to something perfect.
I first became aware of her work when researching for new designers for a project back in September, at the time she was showcasing for the NEWGEN Topshop catwalk at London Fashion week.
As word spreads about Felicity's incredible work , i'm sure she'll become renown for her elegent and quirky textile work.
Something that not every designer knows about , these days.
