The Children's Society Photoshoot

I styled this 2 day shoot for The Children's Society.  I had to find 2 sets of parents with 2 children each making 2 models families.  I found a suitable house big enough to shoot in different areas and with sufficient room for the 8 models, chaperones, 2 clients, photographer and his assistant.  On the second day we used a park and street area.  I oversaw the clothing and props and organised the lunches and coffee/biscuit breaks.  We had to shoot positive happy families and also runaway scenarios. These photos will be used on the website, leaflets and brochures.

ANUSCHKA Handbags on QVC

Last Wednesday I presented the fabulous Anuschka handbags on QVC.  This is the only outlet for the beautiful hand crafted and hand painted wearable works of art.

The viewers loved the bags and many sold out while we were on air.  The high quality of the bags and the fact they are all hand painted makes them totally unique and individual.

TRENDS FOR SPRING/SUMMER 2012

Following a great day at the Pure exhibition in London, I have come away with all the forecast trends for A/W 2012 and S/S 2013.  There were some exciting catwalk presentations hi-lighting fashion for future seasons and for this Spring/Summer.

Top Trends and colours for THIS Spring/Summer 2012

Colours for the season:-
Bold bright, block and clashing separates
Candy sugary pretty shades
Black and white are key colours
Tangerine is THE colour of the season - how bright you can go depends on your colouring

Texture  -
Mix textures - lace and sheer materials are used in panels

Florals  -
Bright small prints and amplified large prints on white and black backgrounds

Mix patterns -
African influence is strong

Dresses are making a come back the simple shift dress, mini, midi and maxi lengths.







NEW this season is the peplum and drop waist on dresses and skirts this style elongates the silhouette and hides any tummies.  This trend is continuing into next Winter's styles.

The 'sporty look' is key in the younger fashions influenced by the summer Olympics.








Think Primal Futurism, sharp minimalism with textures, layered tunics and cropped jackets.
Cinematic, inspired by seductive Hollywood heroines, curvaceous shapes, sophisticated fabrics
J-peg Gen, simple colours, spontaneous styling, mismatched disorder, fun and youthfulness.
