Field of Dreams:

These are behind the scenes shots from another location shoot we did recently. It was set in a field  that was full of orange tall grass against a moody thundery sky.Too romantic for words! The styling was gyspy boho and we teamed layers of raw crystal rings and pendants with printed pants and maxi skirts.

Emanuelle the model was french and heavenly. We got her to sit amongst the grass whilst the sun shone through from behind. I would have rolled around in it too if this country didn't have as many venomous creatures as America does fat people.

I love this shoot.!

Behind the scenes: Rio

These are just a few of the many shots coming your way from my trip to Brazil. This one in particular was a swim story about this season's prints. Techno tribal people, keep your eye's peeled for it this summer.

This place was so tropical i was on the look out for Anacondas, mainly because i had been foolish enough to watch the film the night before in my hotel room. It was in Portuguese but I assure you the main concept of gigantic man eating snake (I am also presuming it was not opposed to eating girls either) on a carniverous rampage  was clearly portrayed. I managed however to survive the jungle and we came away with a pretty nice shoot.

The Girl from Ipanema:

Having recently spent some time in Ipanema, this story named The Girl From Ipanema from Contributor Magazine really caught my attention. It's interesting as it is so beautiful and quiet when Ipanema as a place is really a mad melting pot of colours and culture.

Here are a few tiny sneak peeks of the styling from our Girl from Ipanema story:

I told you so...

Although I am aware this link does not prove that I am the all knowing ever wise fashionista I think I am it definitely does show that fashion films are getting big hence the I told you so. Read what The Wall street Journal has to say about them;

Furthermore, I also wanted to show you Missoni's attempt. Although I love the design house inside and out this deserves just one word: YAWN!

Local Gals:

Its great to hear about some of the buzz right before New York Fashion week, especially when I am the only one in my office not there. It is also nice to hear that some of our very own Aussie girls are making a splash on the world stage:
