AT HUSSEIN CHALAYAN

I'm not sure why I never posted those pictures from Hussein Chalayan AW10. Perhaps at the time they didn't feel worthwhile? Either way, I'm off to Paris again this Thursday for a bit of classic portraiture and backstage. Couldn't be happier about this.

MARILYN

Marilyn Monroe was strong enough to display her sex appeal just as much as her weakness. Here's what she once said:

“[Stardom] scares me. All those people I don`t know, sometimes they`re so emotional. I mean, if they love you that much without knowing you, they can also hate you the same way.”

THIS TRACK GIVES ME SHIVERS

I think I'm liking Brad more and more these days.

SOMEWHERE IN ENGLAND

Found this on Sam Barker's blog. Quote:

"Whilst visiting family in Norfolk recently, I was driving through some rural countryside and came across this extremely strange house – it looks like someone just got up 15 years ago and left – newspapers from years ago and three cat skeletons litter the floor. This feels like one really weird place, the atmosphere was so heavy and sad in this house – there was a real sense of the macabre to it. On reflection though really quite normal for Norfolk! I’m planning a return visit with a 5D to film it."







This is easily one of the most inspiring places I've seen in months.

MEADHAM KIRCHOFF IN L'OFFICIEL

I have a picture in the new issue of L'Officiel France. It's an image from Meadham Kirchoff AW10. Also, my picture from Burberry Prorsum SS11 features in the new catwalk supplement to British Elle (double page spread yeay!). So excited to see the backstage pictures in print.

DAYDREAMS

Polish composer Abel Korzeniowski nails it every time in his soundtrack for A Single Man.

HAPPY 2011

It already started so blissfully, so can only get better. Day by day. I'm still in Warsaw, but will be back in London tomorrow. More posts to come soon.
