Just Because...

Sorry I havn't been posting very much lately. Lots of work on! Will show you photos when its done but for now here is the beautiful miu miu collection shot for 'because magazine'.

Indulgent

I have just been having a bit of a Tim Walker indulgent afternoon, cutting his recent editorials from Vogue Italia to slip into my collection, reading up on past interviews and watching clips on YouTube. I find him to be such an inspiration, not only the amazing images he creates. For one person to have such a wonderful imagination and then to capture it to show the world is something very special. I found the bellow interview to be so interesting (although the quality isn't incredible and I cannot read the questions or subtitles), especially when he talks about fashion photography being the only medium to capture the unreal and fantasy, and that he never shoots within the studio or uses flash photography (something that I myself am not keen on). I hope you enjoy it as much as me! Please comment on what you think or if you have also seen something incredible that creates passion within you.

Your dreams are as you make them

You know your becoming a bit obsessed when you start dreaming of whatever your obsessed about (if that makes sense?). For me it is Tim Walker's photography. Example: Last night the above image was the setting for my dream. I was working on the boat as a waitress, as the space around it became a restaurant. It was rather peculiar (as dreams are and it is already pretty peculiar) as I had to stop the guests from getting on the boat and stop them from eating cakes that they were gorging on. Anyone want to analyse? (Apart from I think the cake thing may have something to do with the bake sale in Glee). Goes to show you are a creation of your surroundings!

Right from Scratch

I have been considering giving this blog a fresh new life for a little while. It seems when I look at my favourite blogs, they give an insight into the bloggers lives, opinions and the bloggers themselves almost become Internet friends that you can look to, to cheer you up or inspire you, even if its without them even realising it. I personally find tumblr pages to be a little un-personal, however I do have a tendency to indulge in beautiful images posted, and really appreciate them as a good source of research.

So, where does this leave 'oh my'? Well I originally set up this blog to be a little different to the norm of blogs regurgitating content that has been written before. I always knew that I wouldn't be the first on the fashion news, as there are bigger blogs that already do a fantastic job of this, and to be honest trending fashion has never excited me very much. 

I started this blog to do what I love, creating imagery and what I like to call 'fashion collages' in a similar way to a magazine. I feel my approach is more unique and overall stays true to who I am and what I do. I still love this approach and will continue to create my posts through Photoshop however I think after a year it is time to mix it up a bit and give you all a bit more of me! A greater insight into who I am, my adventures in the wonderland of fashion, my loves, thoughts and passions and I would love to hear from all my readers and enjoy this journey together. So lets start...

♥ My name is Rebecca. 

♥ I am 20 and a student studying Fashion Promotion and in particular fashion styling and photography. I love it for its imagination and absurd nature. 

♥ One day I hope to work at a magazine that inspires and excites people, in the city I feel complete, New York. A city where anything can happen at any moment and most probably is somewhere near by. The city that has a bubble fight in the middle of Times Square and throws parties on the Subway. 

♥ I will one day live there with my lovely boy (My Name is Tom) and have many adventures. 

♥ For now I live on the outskirts of London, another city of beauty and eccentricity.

♥ I work at a wonderful magazine, Glass (check it out here). 

♥ I spend my time with my head stuck in magazines, scouring clothing from different eras in jumble sales, car boots and charity shops, collecting peculiar cameras and baking an assortment of healthy and (very) un-healthy goodies!

So how about you?

The Cat that got the Cream

Miu Miu!

(A/W 2010)

“People always ask if I think about a concept or the show or the front row or whatever first. No! Fuck off! The client comes first! The collection is driven by what clients want in different parts of the world, so I want them to be able to see it straight away and to judge it for themselves. Well I just think that which celebrities are wearing it, what reviews say—none of it matters if it’s all there for people to make their own minds up. I’m 40 now, but I want this to be a company that lives way beyond me, and I believe that customers are more important to making that happen than press. When I’m dead, hopefully this house will still be going. On a spaceship. Hopping up and down above the earth.” -Alexander McQueen

And Tim Walker....

If anyone knows any information regarding the publication of these images, then please let me know! I NEED to get my hands on these bad boys! I am guessing by the clothing credits Vogue Italia and I think the top image is also Mr Walker but was not stated at source. Help? x

The Lost Explorer

Something amazing has happened! Or will happen soon! I am very excited by the prospect that Tim Walker will be turning his hand to a different type of film, motion picture.The short piece entitled 'The Lost Explorer' will tell the story of a young girl, Evelyn, discovering an explorer camping at the bottom of her garden. A coming of age story that will star Toby Stephens (Jane Eyre), Jessica Hynes (Son of Rambo), Richard Bremmer (Control), Dexter Fletcher (Stardust) and new star Olympia Campbell, no doubt creating new stars from an ever bright screen. If his film is anything close to his still images, then we have an unbelievable fantasy to look forward too. I have high hopes!
