Ibiza...

Well we're into February now and the snow has hit, this plus the pesky post New Year lull is making me long for a bit of summer and I'm sure it has for you too. Stumbling across a hoard of street style shots I took in Ibiza this summer did feel a bit like my laptop was mocking me and my anti-winter state of mind, however, I did think they would be worth sharing with you. Can't wait to go again this year, ooh I can almost feel the sunshine now...

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...

We like to party...

Well she's done it again! Beyonce refuses to miss a trend, the sound du jour right now is that nostalgic 80's soul and she's nailed it with this track. Love the story and styling of this video, the outfits seem to get better as the video progresses and it has made me wonder if I will ever grow out of loving crazy coloured fur, or regarding knickers as acceptable lower half attire on their own, I doubt it and if I'm honest that's the kind of growing up I'd rather pass on. The one thing I think may be missing from this video is the fabulous Andre 3000, he's a bit like this generation's Prince so a shame not to see him but the cameos from Solange Knowles (hot girl dj) and the girl-of-the-moment Kelly Rowland at the end do make up for it.

Uberluvly...

 

I spent this saturday with the wonderful Sarah-Leigh of Sarah-Leigh's style files and one of our activities of the day was a very cultured little jaunt out to an art show at Southampton's newly refurbished Grand Cafe. The show featured 120 pieces by the very hard working Lee Murray of Uber studios, and it was an exhibit that started to feel a bit like a shopping trip, for example... 'ooh i want that one in my living room' or 'wouldn't whas-is-name like that one for christmas' and so it went on. There were plenty of girly vintage inspired pieces, iconic musicians for the boys and the slightly evil Banksy-esque Mickey Mouses (or is that Mickey Mice?) that really caught my eye, my favourite however had to be the lip one that reminds me of an eighties album cover (below)...

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.
