In The Spotlight: Joseph

 With a smart and minimalistic approach to fashion, Joseph is a brand that well and truly makes statement after statement. Supplying both men and womens wear, the brand has captured the attention of some of the greatest A-list celebrities of our generation.

Below I have featured a range of different pieces from the new collections to really show off what kind of vibe Joseph gives off in the world of fashion. Links are provided on each item if you fancy taking a further look on the official Joseph website.


Joseph SS16 - The Runway Collection

A feminine yet contemporary dress - perfect for relaxed or formal warm weather wear.



 Pair with the Stretch Toile Alva Skirt for the full catwalk look, or masculine trouser for cool, slouched appeal.




Partly lined, for optimum wearability and designed to wear open or wrapped with a belt.




 The Look - Spring Skins

A luxe alternative to the classic denim jacket - with button-down fastening.



Reimagined in ultra luxe, unlined leather, these directional overalls will make a great alternative to classic jeans.


 A biker-inspired coverup in ultra-soft, lightly lined lambskin, emphasising sleek lines and a form-fitting silhouette.



Joseph - Outerwear

 An unstructured, boxy cover-up in self-lined cashmere flannel.



 Self-lined, this understated coat lets the ultra luxe fabric take centre stage.

Latest E-Commerce Clothing Styling Work 

With the latest SS16 clothing piling up in the photographic studio, I managed to steam my way through some amazing pieces for our most recent E-Commerce shoot at Zee&Co.

From floaty silk playsuits and high wedge sandals, to 60's inspired shift dresses and stappy stilettos, I managed to put together some beautiful outfits to kick off the new season. 

Below are just a few of the amazing outfits I put together and include product descriptions and a few styling tips!

Keepsake The Label Shift Dress & Overcoat
A new brand on the block. We now have the wonderful 'Keepsake' brand available both online and in-store. The colour scheme here is gorgeous for a transitional look, including a 60's inspired floral shift dress with bell sleeves teamed with a smart yet feminine burgundy overcoat with a tie-up waist. Team with nude heels for a summery look in seconds.

Mara Hoffman Floral Cut-Out Playsuit
This playful number is perfect paired with a femine pair of peep-toe sandals by Sam Edelman. The playsuit features cut-out designs around the waist for a cool and sophisticated look. This playsuit works for both nights out or just a day out shopping as it can be dressed both up or down with ease.

Mara Hoffman Patterned Halter Neck Jumpsuit
Another piece from Mara Hoffman, includes the perfect summer jumpsuit. Both comfy and stylish in one, this jumosuit features a peacock print across the chest, a halterneck fastening for the perfect fit and a cool, backless design to finish it off. I have teamed this piece with a pair of gold platform sandals by See by Chloe.

Diane Von Furstenberg Black & White Print Silk Dress

This beautiful silk dress from Diane Von Furstenberg is a great option if your looking for a spring summer dress for a night out or just a wander around the beach on holiday. Here I havee styled the dress with a paif of Giuseppe Zanotti stilettos and a Vivienne Westwood Anglomania leather handbag. To style the dress for your next holiday, wear a pair of your favourite sandals and a black straw beach bag.

Patrizia Pepe Red Bodycon Dress 
 This showstopping outfit is perfect for making a striking statement on your next evening out. This bond girl style dress from Patrizia Pepe is the ultimate bodycon dress of the season. The dress is hemless which sits perfectly against the skin and slims your figure in an instant. I have styled the dress with black accessories for a classic look. This includes a Vivienne Westwood envelope clutch and a pair of strappy Guiseppe Zanotti stilettos.

Joseph Cream Fur Belted Gilet

For the more chilly summer evenings, opt for the cream fur gilet from Joseph. The belted bodywarmer gives you shape and works well with most colours. I have put together the gilet with a pair of black ripped jeans from Nudie Jeans to contrast with the black belt. The shirt created by Velvet & Spencer gives off a boho feel which works beautifully against the fur. To keep the summer look I completed the look with a paif of black Sam Edelman wedges.





























In The Spotlight: Mariel Clayton



If you haven't heard of her, you're about to. Mariel Clayton is one of the latest photographers to create unusual and conceptual pieces of art using a mixture of Barbie Dolls and Japanese minatures. Her work is forever unique and gives off vivid and sometimes morbid vibes, but thats why we love her! Her witty and dark scene set-ups can leave so much to the imagination which makes it even more engaging for all audiences. 
Below are some of my favourite pieces from the artist herself. Remember to visit her online store, instagram and social media for more information and the latest updates.



1) Barbie Behaving Badly
This image explores human sexuality and makes you paint a story in your mind of what some couples can get up to behind closed doors. I love how cheeky and unexpected the scene is, as you can see Barbie has dropped her carton of eggs in an unexpected turn of events as she is baking. I love how Mariel has also portrayed Barbie to be 'in the zone' as she is placed smoking a cigarette whilst enjoying the moment! Imagine how tiny that miniture cigarette is...

2) Gameplay
I love the concept of this piece. Where the common gender roles have been cleverly switched over. This explores the many ideas men imagine as an ideal fantasy, but then they are turn around in an unusual manner. We would normally expect the male to be sitting in a gamer chair playing their Xbox game whilst their girlfriend kept them 'happy'. The detail in each image is insane, as you can spot mini bottles of Jack Daniels, iPads, iPhones and music speakers.

3) The Serial Killer 
Mariel is amazing at creating images with a morbid twist, as the popular Barbie we know and love is turned into a serial killer in this piece. Barbie is pictured clearing up her rather 'bloody' mess after beheading Ken in her kitchen. Look closely and you will spot Kens hand is boiling away in a pan and his head is placed slap bang in the middle of her fridge. Her puppy is sitting directly behind his dog bowl which has been used to catch the rest of Kens blood. Ewwww! 


4) Hot Sauce
Well Ken certainly isn't expecting this! Shot with a dark and moody lighting, Barbie is pictured undressed whilst holding a miniture pot of hot sauce behind her back. The rest of the story is up to your imagination...

5) Love 
Slightly less morbid that the previous images, Mariels take on love touches the heart. This simple image includes Barbie and Ken embracing eachother after Barbie receives Tiffany & Co jewellery with wine and chocolates. (Just check out how cute that iconinc Tiffany box is!). The vignetting around the image makes it warm and emotional.

All in all Mariels work is undeniably creative and something you don't see every day in the world of art.
