Stalked: Tiril Hasselknippe, Artist.
13 August 2014
Please may I introduce one of the most exciting artists of the moment. Not only is she absolutely stunning, she also loves one of natures most adrenaline inducing sports, surfing.
Tiril Hasselknippe, a Norwegian born visual artist whom by the age of 30 already has museum shows under her belt, as well as having collectors scrambling over each other to snap up one of her divine resin surfboards. I now have to admit I've joined the back of the queue for one of these bad boys. Being a surfer in my early years of adolescence her work jumped out at me like no other. I interviewed her at her last show in London, at the opening of Evelyn Yard. By the end of the interview all that was left to discuss was the surfing trip to Wales!
What do you do and why do you love your job?
I'm a visual artist and a writer. Art is the free space where you can kick and whisper at the same time. It is also like a screen where you can look directly at the sun without going blind.
Stalked: Abi and Chris, Vocals and Electronics, Bat and Ball.
11 August 2014
Bat and Ball is a brother-sister duo from Devon. Their indie electronic style shook the grounds of the Secret Garden Party this year, with stunning vocals/guitar from Abi Sinclair and on electronics, Chris Sinclair.
I caught up with them after their set to see what's next in store for this exciting duo.
What is it about
the band you love?
Being able to create and perform with your
friends. Being able to travel and have adventures. Over the summer we have
played a few festivals and spent a lot of time writing and in the studio.
Secret Garden Party was a great experience; we got sun burn, lost our phones,
hopped madly around on stage and then got up to all sorts of festival
mischief!
Back To Basic Stalking: Irina, On Carnaby Street, London.
9 August 2014
I stalked this very gorgeous lady on Carnaby Street as I was rushing to an event at Christies, she was a must-stalk, so of course the event had to wait!! I loved her girlie look with the playful fluffy sweater and short short shorts, the shoes add a pop of colour to finish this look off to a tee!!
Irina was visiting London from Russia and so sweetly couldn't believe she was being 'stalked' !!
Stalked: Hugo Taylor and Charlie Morris. Founders, Taylor Morris Eyewear
4 August 2014
You may
recognise Hugo Taylor from the hit TV series Made In Chelsea, but you may
not know that his true passion lies in designing sunglasses, a passion shared
with his close friend and business partner, Charlie Morris.
British born
designers, Hugo and Charlie started their luxury eyewear brand in 2013,
infusing classic British elegance with Hollywood glamour. The collection draws
on inspirations from style icons such as James Dean and Steve McQueen, by
incorporating vintages touches to the frames and lenses. If there was ever a
brand to watch, this is it!
I caught up with the
boys for a coffee on one of London’s most adorable streets; Motcomb Street, in
the heart of Belgravia.
What's Taylor Morris
all about and why do you love doing what you do?
Taylor Morris Eyewear is everything to us. In a nutshell we make Luxury British
Eyewear but with a realistic price tag. To us luxury is not a cost, its a state
of mind. We have our hearts set on making beautiful glasses, which our
customers will be proud to wear. Charlie; “Taylor Morris is a reflection of Hugo
and I, it’s our passion to have something of our own, we just love making eyewear.”
Stalked: Julie and Lindsey. Rock 'n' Roll Band, Deap Vally
1 August 2014
In my opinion there's nothing cooler than an all female rock band, especially when there are only two in the band, Lindsey Troy on vocals/guitar and Julie Edwards on drums! Drum roll... please may I introduce Californian band, Deap Vally, who rocked the main stage at Secret Garden Party this year.
Although the band is less than 5 years old, Lindsey and Julie have taken the industry by storm, stirring up a multitude of excitable responses,
from the musical press – "a hippie Karen O fronting Black Sabbath" – to the
cinematic – "the house-band for some yet-to-be-scripted Tarantino movie
where the two Californian gals sweat out the spirit of rock'n'roll in short,
gin-soaked bursts while fists fly and blood stains the floorboards."
After their set I caught up with the girls just before they jumped on their tour bus for their next gig in Sheffield. This no doubtably has to have been one of my favourite interviews so far....
LONG LIVE ROCK 'N' ROLL!!!
What is it about your
jobs you love?
Seeing the world,
playing rock and roll, meeting our idols!
