Great + Great = Amazing

Always appreciating wonderful photography I was searching through Patrick Demarchelier'swork and came across this amazing shoot he did with the beautifully talented Australian GemmaWard. A big fan of both of them, I was not surprised that the outcome is so emotional charged.


Demarchelier always know how to work lighting, props and objects to get such a strong image which considers all elements of proportion, composition and colour. I also love how his passion for ballet dancers always manages to transcend into his work on some level.


As for the stunning Gemma Ward, I have been a big fan of hers, right back to the beginning when I watched her grace the catwalk for Third Millennium at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. The show was elegant and graceful on so many levels, but there was something about Ward the made her stand out above the rest. She had such a youthful, freshness and a look that had yet to be shown to the rest of the world.


Always inspirational Demarchelier + Ward = Amazing

Trinity Girls - Yesterday or Today

There is simple beauty in the girls who impacted the world of fashion in the 90's and today. It is hard to call the fresh faces the new 'trinity' group since the supermodels of the 90's were the women who really were given this titles as they were credited for impacting the world of fashion on so many levels. However if you were to consider the current models in the same way they definately have the gift of beauty, style and individuality....

I always look at these pictures calmed by the serenity they exude and loving the sophistication of classic black and white photography, as well as the warm, luxurious tones of the coloured photography.

Alber Elbaz does design feminine chic collection for Lanvin and the accessories within the range are just as strong. Proportion, contrast, and balance are all successfully meet with the intensity of the layering of this sculptural delights. Autumn Winter 2009 saw the creation of style that I am sure many women would happily accept within their jewellery box.

Model Watch - Iris Strubegger

I always find it interesting keeping a watch on models and how their look transcends across all the different fashion collections. Iris Strubegger seem to create an amazing androgynous look yet is still able to be feminine chic when called upon. Stunning and strong... inspiring look......

Trend Forecasting

Earlier this week I was fortunate enough to attend a seminar by Philip Fimmano from Li Edelkoort, the world leading trend forecasting company. This amazing lecture reflected on there work processes; how they seek the new ideas of tomorrow and the countries they find most inspirational.
There were various points made within the seminar which I found captivating and crucial to all design processes.
- Have no filter..... take note of everything and don't only respond to prices and brands
- Create sensorial elements
- Fashion for the lifestyle
- Do your own thing, focus on beautiful and well made
- Remember create as a gift to yourself

Back to Nature - STOP

Stop.... and pay attention... sometimes the most interesting and beautiful things can be found in the most odd places. On an adventure through Briggsvale, near Dorrigo, Northern New South Wales, I came across this abandoned mill. Such healthy green surroundings meet rusted old items of yester year.
