Out and about....Lower Thames St

I like to spend time with the people I meet. I am a nervous and a bit rubbish at shooting from the hip prefering a different interaction. This time when I asked the first reaction was no and then a slight hesitation and a hurry up then. So although I thought she looked great I didn't get to ask her name. Any on of you lovely people recognise her?

I was invited along to the Fyodor Golan show as their official photograher. The guys are really lovely and I think their 1st collection is beautiful. There are quite a few pieces here I would love to own. They have combined their fabric with flair and the cut is sublime. Here are some of the runway images I shot - I find these difficult to do so hope you like them. I got to shoot backstage which was fun - I will show you those at a later date. Until then enjoy the show.

Out and about....sunny Finchley

From Fashionistable
From Fashionistable
Lucy is a freelance TV producer. She is a Londoner and has been living in Finchley for the past 11 years. Her favourite place in London is The Bridge in Shoreditch, it looks lovely. For style inspiration she looks to vintage, "no particular era, though mostly the 50's, not that I am very 50's today." Her surprise was that she is getting married in July and has just started dress shopping. For our shot today she is wearing a coat from Topshop, the collar is an eBay purchase. Her arm warmers were made by her Mum and the beautiful blue dress is vintage.

Out and about....beautiful smile

Rachel has a beautiful smile and laugh. I am going to start with her surprising things, Rachel was Miss Great Britian in 2007. Before she won the competition she was working on an oil rig. Originally from Scotland Rachel now lives in North London and is modeling with BMA. Her favourite places in London are Hampstead Heath and Hyde Park in summer. I love this look and was amazed when she told me how she put it together, here we go. Glasses are Ray Ban, cape Zara, vintage playsuit, Topshop belt, KG shoes and Chloe bag. I also thought her accessories helped set the whole look off - 2 necklaces, the longer one is a key and belonged to her grandma, the second was a cameo from Accessorize. Her other cameo, the brooch, used to belong to her boyfriends grandma. Altogether a  great combination.

Anabel told me her friends make fun of her and see it as a bit of cliche to be a dancer and a model. Do you think there may be just a tiny wee bit of jealousy going on here? Her dancing pedigree is amazing. She started her career in ballet but is now a contemporary dancer. At the moment she is part of the cast of Dirty Dancing. She is also part of Matthew Bourne's company. When I asked her about London she said "there is so much to do here, you can never be bored." Her days are filled with castings, modeling assignments, art galleries and when we met she was going off to see a show. Her style influence is her Mum whom she says is her style icon. She said her Mum likes layering and floaty floor length clothing think Biba and Ossie Clark. For her own look today she is wearing a hat from Christys, which was a present from her boyfriend and her scarf belongs to him. (He is also a blogger, you can check out his blog, Maketh the Man here.) Anabel's coat was from Moss Bros and used to belong to her Mum when she was a child. The shirt was given to her by a friend. At this part the conversation she said, looks like I have been dressed by everyone else. However, she bought her skirt when she was in Australia as part of a 3 month world tour she was on with Matthew Bourne. Her socks were from a market, she thought Spitalfields, shoes are Office and her bag is Prada.

James is a Londoner and works for Church's. He said the best thing about London was today's weather (as you can see it was sunny when we shot). He describes his style as an old fashioned classic look. Influenced by the America of the 20's and 30's. James like's to travel and is off to Tuscany this summer. Here, he is wearing a Prada suit. His hat is from River Island and all his other accessories are from Church's, tie, belt and shoes.

When I met Alex she was on her way to meet her partner to go to an edit. She is an Art Director with Wieden and Kennedy. Her favourtite place in London is Brick Lane which is close to where she works. She told me there is nothing surprising about her. Her bag and bangle are by Fleetilya, the cape is from Topshop and everything else is vintage.

Out and about....unplug the jukebox

Marta is a fashion designer and is getting ready for her show in March. I am guessing it will be in Europe as I forgot to ask her. She is also working on her website and when it is ready you will be able to see her work here. To make it all possible she is also working part-time at Issey Miyake. Busy lady. Her own design influence mainly stems from music. It creates a mood and allows her to see colour and shape. The people who influence her most are Adam Ant (whom she says she knows), Madonna and John Galliano. Marta is half Russian and half Lithuanian, but has been in London now for 3 years. Her favourite place in London is the V&A. Her coat is by Trussardi (I think). What looks like is a scarf is actually a Issey Miyake cardy. She couldn't remember where her tights were from. Accessory wise her earrings are Dior, shoes are Russell and Bromley and her bag is Italian.
