STALKED: Chris at LFW SS14 Somerset House
23 September 2013
I stalked Chris at Somerset House, who was out snapping fashions fabulous on the most gorgeous vintage camera.
My 5 minutes with Chris Pollard:
What do you love about your job? What do you love about your job? And why do you
choose to use vintage cameras for your photography.
One of the main things
I love about my job is actually getting to chat to really creative
and inspired people, feeding off their interest and their knowledge, it
keeps me wanting to push my own work and concepts further. I shoot on Vintage
film stock, as I think the industry has recently been over saturated with
Digital photography! I don't condone Digital work as it's what feeds the
evolution of our industry, but I think maintaining the use of
analogue reminds the instagram-age of where that filter they apply
actually originates from! I am also so drawn to the tactile nature of Polaroid
and Film. Being able to hold a photo in your hand (in which you are never
entirely sure if it will work until it is developed) really gives me a
buzz when a mistake in the film, or a light leak creates an result that I
wasn't expecting.
What's your favourite camera?
Favourite camera - A
Sanderson Quater plate made Wood and Brass! its about 90-95 years old!
Getting something Pre-World War 1 to capture images feels quite special.
Favourite Designer?
Not so much a designer, but a Savile Row tailoring house: H Huntsman -
they have really tried to experiment with shooting suits and tweed this
season.
Best Show?
Pam Hogg! Great use of
ballet and dance on the catwalk and the taxidermy head wear / slightly
macabre militaria aprons and wartime armbands were great touches.
5 items you can you not live without?
1.Paper-based Diary...If
I wrote it in my phone I would never turn up at the right time or
date for anything
2. Good Stationary...just
makes writing useless notes that I will probably forget much more
enjoyable
3. Tailored
Suit...Weddings, Shows, Parties, Work...what ever the occasion, as long as
it fits perfectly it will work
4. Emergency
snacks...running between shows and everything else requires a lot of energy!
5. A Camera..Doesn’t have
to be analogue, but a way to capture memories is always important!
London Fashion Week SS14: The Little Details
22 September 2013
London Fashion Week may feel like ages ago but I'm determined to keep it going a little longer!
During LFW, if you are a fashion lover there is no need to go to pick up vogue or visit fashion exhibitions because the best style is right here in London, on the streets and completely free.. Here are some of my favourite street style shots that I took from last weekend.
A piece of jewellery can make an outfit .. I loved the way this chick wore a simple white sweater with a very striking black necklace - it totally made it!
Neon we will always love you !

Button your shirt up to the top will create an instant 'fashion' look, team that with an amazing necklace and you are sorted!!
This necklace was from Zara, got to love our high street right!

LFW: Beauty Of The Body
18 September 2013
As my regular readers know there's nothing that floats my boat more than an up and coming designer.. and here's where I welcome Mauritian born London based womenswear designer Yuvna Kim.
Her collections draw inspiration from her cultural heritage and tradition, fused with cross cultural references from across the Indian Ocean. For her SS14 collection she has designed an exquisite array of nude and ivory evening wear, in which she draws her inspirations from 1920s.
Georgette gowns are intricately embroidered with crystals, beads and pearls, finished off with the beauty of the female body. There's no doubt these evening dresses are made for the confident lady and there's also no doubt that they are absolutely beautiful!
