New Year Reso... This year i will collect...

2011-12-30T05:55:00.000-08:00

ALBUMS.

So this is probably something a 12 year old would do BUT... I have neglected music the past few years and I realized it made me a lot happier, not that I was a music expert but I did enjoy it and it does inspire me. I used to see gigs 3-4 times a week in 2006 with friends (most seen bands probably We Are Scientists, The Maccabees and Crystal Castles) HA!
I also own zero CD's so I'm going to start collecting them. I'll probably buy an album a week for the whole of 2012. These will be bought from amazon used CD's or charity shops/car bootsales or given to me (hopefully) cause I aint made of money! Ordered my first two online yesterday!!! Little January sale gift to myself. :) I'll post a pic of each album, enjoy! x

Stamp Mag: CSM

2011-10-15T16:42:00.000-07:00

Read my article on Central Saint Martins at STAMPMAG.CO.UK

A name synonymous with all things creative, Central Saint Martins is recognised world wide as one of the leading schools in Art and Design, formed when the previous Saint Martins School of Art (est.1854) and The Central School of Art and Design (est.1896) merged in 1989. Spanning the fields of design, fashion, art, music, and film, CSM is renowned for its reputation of sculpting some of the finest talent of the past 150 years. It’s alumni is impressive to say the least, with the likes of John Galliano, Stella McCartney, Alexander McQueen, Jarvis Cocker, Gilbert and George, Matthew Williamson, PJ Harvey, Riccardo Tisci, Paul Smith and Gareth Pugh.

As an ex-student, I remember the first day I set foot into the building at Southampton Row, I even remember exactly what I was wearing and the first person I spoke to. It was the day of my interview and the hour train journey from Kent to London with my mum was daunting and felt more like three hours. I can honestly say I have never been so nervous in my life as my college tutors said I would never get in; I ignored their negativity and applied anyway. My heart pounded as I walked up the concrete steps through the double oak doors into the historic building knowing all the people who had done the same before me. I dropped off my portfolio and bags of sketchbooks, notebooks, post its and loose pages and the rest, as they say, is history. I was accepted onto the course and spent the next three years studying/partying my way through a BA Honours in Graphic Design. I’m pleased to say I studied there, although I would do it all completely differently if I were given another chance! For me I think it was a tad too soon and became more of a life experience than an intensive study, work, study, draw, create, study, photograph, study, degree. At least I passed, even with a project entitled ‘Fuck Work Let’s Party’.

The iconic and historic buildings of CSM are now closing their doors for the grand opening of a new complex in Kings Cross, which for the first time will merge all genres of art and design in one place. The photographic studio will sit side by side with the fashion studio, giving the chance for students to create unique collaborations, something I would have loved to take part in! We decided to ask a tutor from the Southampton Row campus, Gary Wallis and a student from the Charing Cross Road campus Hampus Berggren for their thoughts on the big change and unification taking place at the new complex. Gary is a photographer and has taught photography for several years now at CSM; Hampus is a BA Fashion Design Menswear graduate from CSM, who is about to start an MA Fashion Design at the new complex in Kings Cross and is also one of the few students to experience the heritage of the old buildings, as well as becoming part of the generation to bloom in the new.

2011-09-21T12:43:00.000-07:00

I didn't go to many shows this season and some I did go to were SO boring, mainly because I hate catwalk photography and would rather be shooting backstage or watching the show from a comfy spot front row. A million photographers sit at the end of the catwalk taking the same pictures! Anyway here's a small selection from the shows I attended for Vice Magazine. Next year I want to shoot backstage again!

Marios Schwab - best hat

BLITZ

2011-09-06T11:48:00.000-07:00

Blitz invited me to their Blogger's evening and Stamp Mag to their press evening last week. This vintage store on Hanbury Street is seriously amazing! You can buy everything you see, even the chesterfield couch's and baby mannequins. I highly recommend visiting the store, you definitely wont leave empty handed. It's absolutely huge and the vintage is handpicked perfectly. My favourite though has to be the array of furniture on display, obsessing over furniture at the moment. All I need is an apartment to put it in now.

Field Day

2011-09-06T09:45:00.000-07:00

My first thoughts of Field Day was RUBBISH! Simply because I didnt see ONE band, well a song from the Horrors and maybe some action from Erol Alkan but other than that - nothing. Too many people! Field Day never used to be like that back in 2007 or something. I changed my mind after seeing these pictures though, I was clearly so drunk having an amazing time and the pictures sum up the day pretty well.
