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.

Jungle Fever at Prada

Prada‘s SS11 video is brilliant. The kooky dancing models add an uplifting vibrance to the already bold mix of colours and prints.

Going East courtesy of Prada

It was an Asian sensation and a whirlwind tour of Beijing last weekend which included a Prada show, follow up performance by The Pet Shop Boys, The Great Wall of China, Silk Markets and The Forbidden City all thanks to Prada.

My room at the Ritz-Carlton with a Prada gift on my arrival, I was feeling pretty special.

The Pet Shop Boys performance rocked.

More models from the Prada show.

Prada’s inspirations of the Jazz era, Josephine Baker and even Looney Tunes cartoons flashed up on this screen along with Models dancing in her latest collection.

The Great Wall of China

Appropriately dressed, Shay Thomas the perfect host and PR & Advertising Manager for Prada Australia.

It was insanely cold -12 degrees.  Here’s proof, a frozen waterfall.

Wish magazine’s Editor, David Meagher on the way up to The Great Wall of China.

The Great Wall, the colours so beautiful in winter.

Oh their uniforms are so Chic.

The Forbidden City

A concubine’s room, its long history made me think of the thousands of love stories in this most ancient spot.

Nightlife was definitely colourful

The Ritz-Carlton lift to the Davidoff Lounge where Karaoke was on the agenda, sunglasses were in order to hide my shame of very bad singing.

Grand performances continued into the night by GQ Editor, Nick Smith accompanied by Shay on keyboard, he actually plays beautifully.

Hermes Beach Party

The rain cleared and instead the champagne poured. Massive enamel Hermes bangles on the beach at Nelson Park for Hermes’s annual beach party. It’s my favourite of the year. Shoes must be checked in on arrival and so must be your guilt over the hangover the next day! Mine was shocking!
