Hemyca – Stylitz

Happy Halloween all! I hope you are suitable attired for this day of fright or if not that you are planning some ghoulish outfits for later. In keeping with the idea of all things hallow I have decided to do a visual round-up of some of this week’s SS15 press days with a topical Halloween twist.

First up is yesterday’s Modus PR offerings…

The exoskeleton digital skin coat by Hemyca

If Edward got his Scissorhands on a garment – distressed Haizhen Wang jacket

Ethereal Marie Antoinette beauty from Sorapol

Next up is Blow PR who can always be relied upon for some unique & kooky treats.

The chicest ghost on the block – shirt dress by Chalayan

Finally a few AI PR pieces:

In Jan I styled a shoot for Drafted magazine – the popular London based monthly mag – and it is finally out. Yay! The theme of the shoot was SS14 white and we decided to go with a futuristic architectural feel (the moodboard I made up for the shoot is above). Shot by the talented Jay McLaughlin (who directed the lovely Bethan Maye from Models 1 to channel Milla Jovovich in Fifth Element), with hair and make-up by Amy Brandon. Amy kept things modern by opting for an on-trend grungy 90s look with dishevelled hair, a brown lip and minimal mascara.

We shot 7 looks but sadly there was only room for 6 pages. Here is the shoot along with some behind-the-scenes extras. I hope you like it.
