There’s something about black lace for this winter that I’m just gravitating towards. I read rock legend, Patti Smith’s book ‘Just Kids’ and thought of her when styling this shoot, pale skin, disheveled and poetic.

The Story Behind the Story

I often get asked what are my inspirations when doing a fashion shoot. I think styling for me carries many influences, I’m influenced by books, film, art, music and photography. I enjoy putting a level of opinion into clothes, a personal touch, some imagination into the world of fashion.
