starry eyed Ellie Goulding
I Love the way in her music video for Starry eyed they slow montion the video it gives such a beautiful effect of motion and space, this really fits in well with the 80's theme, a lot of technical fabrics whihc would have been used a lot in fashion at this time.

NetHoneys Private Jet shoot,
Im really excited to have been asked to become part of the team for a shoot at Bournemouth airfield on the 16th April for NetHoneys, to be their MAke up artist and stylist.
Advert for freelander 2-
This really grasps the use of stop frame animation and i love the way it really brings the car to life. I love the way the images dont just flicker ontop of eachother but move along side just like the motion of the car would on the road.

From this im goin to use the images i took of a flick through the most recent Vogue and turn them as if u real magazine, film this again and then speed up the process.

!980's cartoon Jem




A little bit of history about the cartoon Jem
'Jem, also called Jem and the Holograms, is an American animated television series that ran from 1985 to 1988 in U.S. first-run syndication. The show is about music company owner Jerrica Benton, her singer alter-ego Jem, her band the Holograms, and their adventures.'




This cartoon is a great influence for me as at the moment im working on a video documentary in which i will be filming a designer friend of mine; Hannah Lance she will br producing some work for the duet The Girls who will be working alongside The Photographers Gallery at Selfidges where they will have a space for 1 month in the ultra lounge.

In Bed With Marc Jacobs and Stephen Sprouse

Louis Vuitton recently fĂȘted the launch of its Stephen Sprouse collection. Marc Jacobs told New York's Harriet Mays Powell his inspiration for the line came from a number of places. "I thought, well, how do we deface the monogram to make something more rebellious? More punk?" Jacobs said. ...

In bed with Marc Jacobs and Stephen Sprouse


80's Iconic fashion deisigner Stephen Sprouse for me is a great link back to The Girls
Sprouse had a very unsteady career going in and out of bankrupcy and it is today that we know and love him for his work for Louis Vuitton

'The graffiti logo bags he designed in collaboration with Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton in 2001 made the fashion world take notice once again. The pieces sold-out instantly.'

'For both Fall 2006 and 2008, Marc Jacobs utilized Sprouse's 1987 graffiti leopard images for handbags, shoes, and scarves for Louis Vuitton, which sold-out instantly.'

Jeffrey Dietch

'Anyone who was involved in the downtown, music, art seen in the 1980's was a fan of Stephen Sprouse, that period when Stephen was involved with Andy Warhol and Debie Harry, thats an ideal for so many people now.'
