Do you leave the lights on, or is your mobile phone plug charging when it’s not plugged into your mobile? Do you try to eat any veggie meals? Do you recycle? Are you able to walk instead of taking your car? If you had a dog would you walk more: this is whatDo The Green Thing is all about – walk more. Their new site should be launching in the next month.
Make up artist Rachel Green is doing Rosie Huntington Whiteley’s make up. Rosie is the new face or Burberry for autumn/winter 2008-9.
We also had the team from Toni & Guy doing the hair!
If you had a dog would you walk more? I love walking and central London is very walkable. Sometimes it’s faster to walk then to take the tube. I don’t drive so that’s not really an issue. I only take a taxi when I have lots of luggage for a shoot. I used to love riding my bike when I lived in Toronto but in London I just don’t feel so confident on a bike.
My assistant and I were on our way to Top Shop where she’d been spotted by 2 girls from Elle Street Style looking for cool trendsetters. They thought Sana looks like Chloë Sevigny! How cool is Sana – she even has one green and one blue eye and they are so beautiful and of course she’s very on trend with her moccasins! Kellydeene Skerritt is the Elle street style photographer who took this photo.

What summer trend did you indulge in?
This is my new assistant on her first day! Stephanie’s visiting London for the summer. She’s from the States but would love to live in Europe. Being a fashion assistant is quite a bit of work. There are lots of errands to do and sometimes we have very short notice to prep a job, but I think it will be quite fun working together!
I’ve had some really great fashion assistants over the years and for some odd reason, unknown to me they are often called Chloe or some form of Kate. Anyway my assistant Chloe is so hard working. She’s been running all over central London this week picking up and returning items. She has sore fingers from sewing and she’s been steaming and ironing all day long! A talented fashion assistant is a rare breed. You always hear people say that fashion is so competitive and in many ways that’s true -but I think the rules are simple – you’re either 110% committed or you’re not – and most people aren’t.
I styled this video quite a while back for Artcha and I just saw it on youtube for the first time! How fun! The video & song “Raise your Hands ” is quite upbeat and happy – you might not think the shoot day was like that but it actually was! The video was shot at a super hip club called The Lost Society. Most of the people were friends of Artcha or friends of friends so everyone really wanted the day to be a success. It felt like a party; everyone was really happy to be there and worked so hard.
I love working on a video and then seeing the final edit. We set up the food fight; we had so many cakes and éclairs and of course lots of whipped cream. In addition to dressing all the leads in the video, I think there were over 30 extras and several dancers to dress. Fortunately, I had several fashion assistants that helped out on the day: it’s so important to have a good team – it makes a huge difference!
