PHOTOSHOOT for TITLE SUSSEX



Tittle Sussex launched their first issue in May featuring a fitness fashion shoot photographed by Erika Szostak and styled by myself.






 I organised all the outfits and props and discussed with Erika the 'look' we wanted to create for the shoot.  We decided we would go into a studio rather than use a location and wanted the photos to be modern but with a pop art feel.  As the shoot was all about fitness we wanted to keep the mood fun and energetic and enhanced this by using bold block colours. The backgrounds are bright and contrast with the outfits to make them stand out. Our models, Amy and Aleksey were great, interacted well together and perfect 'look' for this sporty fashion feature.  We created a fun, on trend set of photos which look great printed in the magazine and very inspirational.

Photos from the 3rd Brighton Thistle Fashion Show

Laundry Boutique
What a successful day.

During the week I met all the models for a fitting at the 12 shops involved and we all met for a rehearsal the evening before.  










On the day the 15 models went to Alex at Ciscos Karma hairdressers for their hair then went to the Thistle Hotel for the fantastic Aveda girls to do their make up.

We had another rehearsal at midday at the Thistle Hotel so that our hosts Guy Lloyd from Juice 107.2 and Sophie Corbett could see the format.

The girls and boys modelled brilliantly in the 3 shows during the Saturday afternoon showing the Spring/Summer fashions that Brighton has to offer.  The audiences then made their way to the shops to see more of the stock and buy pieces from the catwalk.

DRESSING FOR SUCCESS

What do you want to succeed in?

How would your clothes make a difference?

In business, you want people to notice you are efficient, passionate and good at
your job. 

In some industries such as law and public relations you need to dress in accordance with your 
income level.  |This is crucial for your chances of promotion.

You can look styled, confident and professional by the clothing and accessories you wear:
  • tailored suits 
  • elegant styles
  • good quality fabrics 
  • polished grooming
  • relevant accessories that are not too over powering

If you're looking for a partner or going for job interviews, you want to make a great first impression. 

You have just a few seconds to impress with the clothes and accessories that you choose.

Understanding style personality is a powerful tool.
