Notrelle 'Body' Music Video...

Here is the first batch of 'behind the scenes' shots from another music video I styled recently. The video is for an artist called Notrelle, a brilliant producer who is releasing stuff with his own vocals too now. He was lovely to work with, dressing these urban boys can be a battle of wills sometimes but we were all agreed he looked like a star...

Jacket and shirt: Addict

Sunglasses: Rayban

Cropped Trench: Topman

Notrelle and our talented director Ore

More coming soon, including some snaps of my other styling project that day, our beautiful model...

What I wore today....

Rudy's blog debut...

Luke Bingham: Nothing to lose ....

Very early this summer (around about the freak heatwave in May) I was called upon to dress a beautiful model in a beautiful video. The beautiful model just happened to look exactly like Mischa Barton as you'll see, and she boosted her sexiness by chattering away on her phone in various languages, nothing hotter than switching beween languages with lovely lilting accents whilst having looks like that.

It was a long bloomin' day, as music videos tend to be, fun though. There are a few nailbiting moments in a day in the life of a stylist however, example: Luke's stylist frantic with worry and weilding a lint roller when Luke entered the wardrobe nightmare that is a rapeseed field when dressed head to toe in black. The only side effect to this being a minor O.C.D attachment to the lint roller. Meanwhile I was fighting my own personal war with boob tape. It's a tough job but we persevere.

Keep an eye out for Mr Bingham in the future, he was doing a lot with Radio 1 over the summer and a stint touring with Trey Songz, definately one to watch.

Charley Macaulay...

I have been doing a lot of work recently styling the up and coming singer Charley Macaulay, here are some behind the scenes shots from a photoshoot we did recently for the cover of her upcoming EP. This girl is immensely talented so if you get a chance to see her live then take it, she's goosebump-causingly good.

Really enjoying working with Charley, in shoots and on stage she doesn't want to dress in things that anyone else might have so we're having a lot of fun with vintage and other unusual bits we can acquire at the moment, and thinking up unusual ways to wear them (you may notice that exquisite evening wear teamed with battered converse became a bit of a theme this particular day).

I will post more looks from the shoot soon.

A rail of vintage beauty, such a lovely sight.

Glad I stumbled accross these today! Here are more of the behind the scenes shots of the styling on the Wretch 32 music video for 'Traktor' that never quite made it onto the blog, but I think they definitely deserve a veiwing...
