I love walking around East London and seeing all the graffiti. It inspires so many people, I saw lots of tourists taking pictures and a singer was using one of the wall as the backdrop for her music video.

Kate Nash OMYGOD! Video – Behind the Scenes in LA
Posted by Rebekah Roy on May 12th, 2013
For the most part my job is quite fun and last summer I went to LA with Kate Nash and shot 3 videos in just a couple of days! One of the video we shot was for the song OMYGOD! and it was shot on Malibu Beach and in a large house in Pasadena where we had a group of synchronized swimmers! OMYGOD! is from Kate Nash’s 3rd album, Girl Talk.
Kate is presently touring the US!

Book Launch – Golden Boy by Abigail Tarttelin
Posted by Rebekah Roy on May 11th, 2013
Rising literary star Abigail Tarttelin launched her second novel Golden Boy in London last week. It’s one of those books that you’ll just want to stay up all night and read.
It’s a coming of age story about Max Walker – the Golden Boy, the perfect son, the best friend. The girls at school like him and he’s so nice to his little brother but Max has a secret and is betrayed in the worst possible way by his best friend. Max was born with forty-six XX chromosomes and forty-six XY chromosomes, which makes him intersex. He was brought up as boy, had hormone treatments, plays football – he looks like any other boy. His family is nurturing and loving but they don’t really talk about Max being intersex, it’s Archie, his physician who tries to guide him. Max is like any other teenager, he falls in love, he thinks about his future and wants to be accepted.
The story is told through the first person narrative giving us all the characters’ point of view and their experiences. I was more invested in all the characters because of this insight, I felt like I was on an emotional journey. This is one of those books that’s going to gain its own momentum by friends recommending to friends. It’s a story that needs to be told and discussed plus it reads like a film.
I attended Abigail’s book launch in London celebrating with cake and champagne at Drink, Shop and Do. Abigail’s publisher said after she read just the first two pages of Golden Boy she knew the book was special (I was hooked after reading the first few pages as well). I met Abigail a few years ago as she is the Books Editor at Phoenix magazine. So during this past year I’ve been really excited hearing little bits about Golden Boy and just wanting to read it. Abigail is one of those people that I just love chatting with for hours over a glass of wine. She’s intelligent, thoughtful and fun, and above all she’s interested in everything around her and how it’s all connected. At sixteen Abigail trained with the National Youth Theatre of Great Britain and the New York Film Academy. She wrote her debut novel, Flick, published in the UK in 2011, which was acclaimed as a ‘cult classic’ by GQ.

Behind the Scenes at Fault Magazine Shoot in Switzerland
Posted by Rebekah Roy on May 10th, 2013
This shoot was quite a huge production as we shot in Switzerland with photographer Damien Krisl with set design by Sylvain CabouatI. We shot in a film studio as we had so many different set ups and we needed a swimming pool for one of the shots. It was quite a big production and it took weeks to plan the concept and execution, which was great as it gave me lots of time to get the exact looks I wanted. We also had seven models for the shoot so we had lots to prep!

À La Disposition Perfume Launch
Posted by Rebekah Roy on May 9th, 2013
À La Disposition is the husband and wife team of Daniel and Lynda Kinne. They are quite a romantic couple having met as students when they were in their second semester at Parsons in NYC. They launched their first fragrance this season, called {intangible}. It’s quite unique as it’s unisex, and it’s comprised of two perfumes that can be worn separately or together. The 1st perfume has top notes of citrus and the other is more musky – they work well on their own but are very complimentary together creating a 3rd scent. The bottle is very representative of the brand – a black skull with two nozzles on the head like devil horns – their collections are often based around dark ideas. I love the titles of their collections: The Utopian Aviary A/W 2011, mECHANICAL fAILURE S/S 2012 A Solemn Viewing of Autumn and Winter 2013 and menswear Black Snow AW13
We celebrated the launch of {intangible} with afternoon tea!
This is a sample of the perfume – I love how it looks like two vials of magic potion!
I styled this shoot for Untitled Magazine with Delilah wearing À La Disposition.
