The Septermber Issue
i didnt have an pre expectations of this so-called documentary, i was just really excited to see it, almost like something we have all been waiting for, the key for the door to the insight of what is going on. I did watch it thinking if we were seeing everything in total honesty. september issue, hit on a lot of interesting thoughts i have had about working for a magazine and it brought all the ugly truths out.
Grace easily became a great inspiration for so many young girls i think, and her relationship with Anna Wintour was so exciting to watch. i was surprised by the way it wasnt a total focus on Anna Wintour but did manage to show the other very influencial people from the magazine and exactly what they do.

This is defintely a good piece of research material for me for this project as i want to create a documentary, nothig staged just a natural glimps of the construction of garments for this particular project.

The Girls - The Paper Eaters

After meetin Zoe Sinclair, just half of 'The Girls' duo, i was inspired by many of their ideas, adventures and work. I began thinking about how i could get myself involved with them.

Androgyny-
The shoot went so well and im so happy with the way all the images came out, thank you to CLaire Organ my photographer who was great! i used the images to create a small film flick for youtube which you can view following this link:

The idea all came from bringing the concept of fashion and identity and how we all create our own image. The importance of the masks in my shoot was to hide each individual sexuality and bring them together as one. i would have loved to spend even longer on this project and im going to take it further in my own time, do a similiar shoot involving a few more models and have 5 or 6 outfits totally identical, play around with height and size and look at similarity and indiviuality.
