Eye Candy is a mag I shot for last year but the issue has just come out. So I thought I'd show you some of the pics.
Photographer was James Lightbown www.jameslightbown.co.uk make up was the amazing Carol Brown www.carol-brown.co.uk and hair by the lovely boys at GregoryDean www.gregorydean.co.uk. The story was black on black, shot in a studio and then illustrated.
Product varied from Vivienne Westwood, Hannah Marshall (who is from My home town so have to give as much support to as possible but is also an incredibly talented designer), Bernard Chandran, Matthew Williamson, Erikson Beamon and E.G.(another supremely talented up and coming designer) amongst others.

Chanel ad/Baz Luhrmann cont

As I've been looking at my post about Moulin Rouge I remembered the Chanel advert with Nicole Kidman directed by Baz Luhrman and featuring the most amazing Chanel dress- it alledgedly cost 42 gazillion (ok million) dollars to make (the ad not the dress). Ok I don't really get the whole ad- but the dress is stunning and makes me drool every time I watch it.
How does she get in a cab in that dress that quickly? You'd need someone stuffing it in after you....

Ok Moulin Rouge by Baz Luhrmann has to be my alltime favourite film. It blows me away every time I watch it, the costumes, the set builds and the performances are all faultless. Baz Luhrman is in my mind an absolute genius, he is on a parr with Tim Burton for creating visual extravaganzas and continues to take my breath away.

Moulin Rouge is such an inspiring film for me as a lingerie designer and as a stylist. Every asect of the styling is impecable and something I continue to aspire to.

Some lovely chap has been kind enough to do a little montage of the costumes of Satine- which are stunning- so enjoy...

Other films well worth seing by Mr Lurhmann are Romeo and Juliet, and Australia- all visual epics and well worth watching.

Lady Marmalade - Delicious styling

This video is so beautfully styled I continue to find it an inspiration. The film Moulin Rouge for which this is the soundtrack deserves its own post ( which I'll get round to at some point) as I must have watched it about 50 times. Burlesque at its best.
