This is one of the images that I styled for Harvey Nichols Istanbul. It was quite an amazing shoot because the models were hung up side down by their foot. It’s quite difficult for the model and painful so the team has to work quickly!
I was out for a walk and saw a pair of trainers and a nice pair of Kenneth Cole shoes. It’s amazing the things we "throw" away. Of course whoever put these shoes out was thinking that someone would take them and give them a new life.
I’ve always liked Kenneth Cole; his advertising campaigns have always been provocative and about the other. I’ve always found the other more interesting because at some point in time, the other – the outside becomes part of the mainstream. It becomes the norm. We forget that the mainstream is always changing even though there are those who’d rather nothing changed at all. There will always be someone who tries to change something.
This was a window sign in Kenneth Cole stores – when you donate gently worn shoes and clothing to any Kenneth Cole New York store last Jan 17-Feb 15 you received 20% off your next purchase.
The Cult of Cherry really makes me want to have something in this colour – lipstick, gloss, nail polish, a dress, anything just something…the video seems to stir something inside of me, a longing for a deep rich colour...
I asked designer & super cool girl Erin Fetherston – a fashion industry insider for a quote to use during my Viktor & Rolf fashion talk at the Barbican.
In your opinion, what’s the best way for someone to create their own distinct personal style?
Personal style should be a reflection of personality. I think someone’s style is truly distinctive if it communicates something specific about it’s wearer; beliefs, values, tastes, background. And it never hurts to add in something that nobody else will have. – Erin Fetherston
I like a brand that has attitude and something to say. 55DSL can be quite cheeky, fun and provocative. This weekend they had a party in West London to celebrate Carnival!
I love advertising: images that are cheeky, that make you think, that push boundaries and that make you feel something. I know advertising is the dream, it’s aspirational and if it’s good you just might read it. I remember my mum complaining that Vogue had so many advertisements in it and I thought to myself that that was one of the reasons I loved to look at it!
