London Fashion Week

As previously stated, i was in and amongst bloggers, models, designers, celebs and photographers alike at london fashion week. This is the outfit i chose to wear...

The main thing about this outfit was my addition made by my jacket. Receiving many comments on it, it soon became a piece of interest. Designed by London based store Lazy Oaf, this black and white digital print anorak became the talk of passerbys.

Originally I wore dark blue skinny jeans (Topman), Chelsea boots (Topman) and a sky blue 70's style Farah polo shirt I picked up from T.K.Maxx. In my bag I packed a red sweatshirt and this Lazy oaf jacket. As the day progressed, I felt cold and donned my sweatshirt and jacket. Almost instantly, someone asked to take a picture if me...

London Fashion Week - Street Style, Day 2

Hey, I attended the London Fashion Week as a blogger and photographer to gain inspiration and experience in the fashion. This is my second year of turning up  to Somerset House and parading the courtyard around the chrome covered tent, photographing the hipsters and fashionistas as they wait to watch their favourite designers catwalk shows. To any start-up blogger and Photographer, I genuinely recommend the experience... you will not be disappointed. It is an amazing way to gain inspiration, acquire new contacts and build your portfolio.

Below is a group of images that showcase some of the best street style...

Unfortunately due to school and work etc. I was only able to attend one day otherwise I would happily document everyday day but who knows about the future... maybe one day I'll be invited into a show...

For all images i took that day, check the out the editorial page.

Neil Barrett SS15 - Menswear

Another long wait, but i just want to show my appreciation to Neil Barrett's SS15 collection. 

Shown at the Milan fashion week, Neil Barrett showcased a pristine display of minimalism and roman classicism. As magazine Dazed & confused describes it, Neil Barrett's collection was "A pillar of clean, minimalist strength. Boys filed out into the column-filled Palazzo Del Senato in clothes that seemed like a tribute to the space – a long-time venue for Barrett – as the designer looked to the faultless lines of Roman classicism for SS15." 

The idea of Roman classicism is one of the perfect images between male beauty and masculinity. Within fashion, it can been seen as a cliche and at times tacky but within these pieces Barrett creates a seamless blend with his minimalistic style as well as pay homage to Italy. Neil Barrett took the plain look of monochrome high-end sportswear and applied his reworked roman classic themed graphics and created a more modern and current look.

Barrett works on  high-end  sportswear silhouettes (like his signature sweatshirts and bombers) and his exquisite details always makes his pieces feel very unforced, and this collection was an exercise in the balance between those two forces. Whilst his work was created  structured and precise, the statements felt light and graceful – not unlike the Roman classicist theme that had set off the collection.
