I was invited to the advance screening of Boardwalk Empire in Leicester Square – the show launches in the UK on the new Sky Atlantic HD channel. It’s set in Atlantic City during the early 20’s at the time of prohibition. The pilot cost $30 million, making it the most expensive pilot in history. I love the menswear - Steve Buscemi looks amazing! The shoes, the men’s socks, the fur coats – it’s all about details. John Dunn, the show’s costume designer uses lots of authentic pieces from rental houses in California. The background actors are dressed in original vintage pieces and often the costumes for the main actors are made from vintage fabric. It’s the early 20’s so the menswear is all about suits and the womenswear is a little less glamorous but still inspirational!

It was quite fun to go to the 123 Bethnal Green Road ethical clothing shop and celebrate the launch of Amelia’s Compendium of Fashion Illustration. The book features 30 emerging illustrators alongside interviews with nearly 50 of the most important ethical designers including a couple of designers that I work with such as Prophetic and Beautiful Soul!

Stylists don’t often have long lead times to prep a shoot but with a good brief you can prepare well and you’re guaranteed an amazing shoot day. The clothes have to suit the artist or model but really they should inspire the whole team!
