Darkness of Noon

Photographer Derek Henderson and illustrator Kelly Thompson have collaborated their crafts to create a book featuring the gorgeous model Zippora Seven. It took four sessions in New Zealand and 3 Kiwi’s (Derek, Kelly and Zippora) to create the wonderful imagery in this book. A 3rd for Derek Henderson whose 1st book, The terrible Boredom of Paradise, is now a rare collectors item but he assures me this time he’s holding onto a few more copies of Darkness of Noon.

Darkness of Noon officially launches 14th March with the accompanying exhibition, running 13th March-6th April at the Edmund Pearce Gallery in Melbourne or buy the book on the Darkness of Noon website.

What doesn’t need a collar & has a little flare? This seasons black jacket. Sorry my humour lacks some lustre but luckily for you, you get the picture!

LA Woman

Why LA? Why not! I must be the only one relating to Hedi Slimane right now! I just love the town, with its OTT grand old Hollywood style and sexy rock’n’roll vibe. So while loading up on anything leather and vintage shopping at Decades ‘The Doors’ tunes were going around & around in my head. Highlight: If you could win an award for best party the Ocsar went to PC Valmorbida whose Gallery Prism opened an exhibition to none other than legendary photographer, Mario Testino!

First stop: Bungalos by the pool for afternoon drinks!

Lace Loving: Fittings at Valentino with gorgeous model, Jessica Hart for all her weekend of events.

Damage done at Valentino after fittings with Jess!

Pretty in Pink: Calvin Klein appointment with Malcolm Carfrae

Martini time at Soho House

After a few the photobooth at Soho house is quite entertaining

Chef’s selection at Sushi Park in LA, its decor is deceiving it’s a well hidden sushi treasure.
