vice interview

my friend the lovely Sam vouters interviewed me for vice style -

here is the beginning so sweet!

click link below to read the rest

My buddy Anna Trevelyan is hot shit. We met when she started assisting big deal, as in creative director of Uniqlo, Thierry Mugler and Vogue Homme Japan and Lady Gaga's stylist, big deal guy Nicola Formichetti. I'd already been assisting him for a few months and we had a lot of fun flying round the world doing cool stuff, though naturally he had more fun because we were the assistants.

Anna's one of those fashion editors who's as much of an art director as she is a stylist, the sort capable of doing more than combining clothes in mildly novel ways. Looking at the evidence, we'd say she's gonna be the sort who, likeRay Petri, Simon Foxton, Katie Grand or indeed Anna's boss Nicola Formichetti did before her, goes on to define a whole new style.

She mixes mad inhuman accessories, manga-ish and hip-hop references into a swirly highly sexualized rather than cute whole. One of the magazines you can see her work in is Untitled #0, the mag she's the fashion director of. Also, although like everyone in fashion claims a place in Lady Gaga's affections, Anna works with her boss Nicola on a lot of Gaga's looks.

Interview - life of model agent! Julien Miachon @ Models 1

The lovely Julien @ Models1 interviewed me for the Models 1 blog! http://models1blog.blogspot.com/   

And i thought, what a great oppurtunity to get in the head of a model booker extroardinaire! 

when you scout a new boy or girl, how do you know if they have that 'x factor' to be really successful? 

 

i think it goes in 3 steps, you find someone and you go: "Wow! amazing!"

then you take a polaroid and it can really go either way, i've scouted people who i thought were amazing in the flesh but didn't photograph well, and other times the other way around... it's weird

then of course you speak to them and realise that people who are gonna make it are the ones with drive and personality, not necesarily crazy but assertive and focused. 

Who has been your biggest model crush? 

 

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley... i was doing lingerie polaroids of her and i blushed so much i nearly fainted! lol 

and i have a bit of a crush on Matthias Lauridsen... i love his scar in the Dior campaign! 

If you weren't doing this....what would you be doing?  

 

I ask myself that question quite often actually... i think i'd be a Horse riding instructor, i almost qualified but then decided to come to London for a summer break and never went back home...  

Name one boy and one girl on your agency we should be watching out for? 

 

There are so many amazing new faces here at the moment, but Sofia Fisher is definitely one to watch on the girl and Sid is no doubt the new boy in town

Whats the weirdest place you ever scouted a model? 

 

I scouted Elliott Conway in a falafel shop in Soho... he was out with his parents and i had been "out" for a while, really funny conversation... to this day i'm still surprised he turned up the next.

what places/parties in london are hot people hotspots?! 

 

 Topshop is amazing, Camden is always buzzing with cool kids and Covent Garden of course.

What is your favourite campaign/editorial of all time and why? 

 

Favourite Campaign... hard one, but has to be Yohji Yamamoto by Nick Knight

Favourite Editorial ever Philip Demarchelier, Linda Evangelista, British Vogue October 1991

If you could snog anyone ever, who would it be? 

 

Mahatma Gandhi ;)

Brett Lloyd Interview

Brett Lloyd is an exciting young London based photographer, whose work is getting international notice by many fashion industry insiders. In my opinion he is definitely doing something new, wholly worthy of recognition and has a very original viewpoint. You can really feel his attitude and energy coming across in his work. Here Brett explains a bit behind his work, what he loves about boys AND girls and tells us about his new poster book soon to be released....

(Many apologies for the slowness, multiple clips and technical difficulties you will notice, i promise one day soon i will learn how to do this much better, but actually i quite like the dodgy DIY element!!)

clue to next interview

Get ready for some boy talk....

Jaiden Rva James Interview

Jaiden and Rasharn of young London menswear label, Jaiden RVA James have quickly caught the attention of the most important fashion editors in London AND internationally. Their last collection presented at the MAN showcase in February perfectly combines floral prints with leather bondage, and skirts that somehow only assert their wearers' masculinity. Not only this they are the most fun loving boys i know! 

I hope you enjoy the interview and discovering their plans for global domination

(Apologies for the masses of clips - i am not very technically good!)
