girl next door








Last November I had the pleasure of meeting one of my favourite photographers, Vanessa Jackman. I have admired Vanessa's street style images for a long time and I couldn't really believe it when she emailed me and asked if I would like to be photographed for Grazia IT
I usually prefer to be behind the lens but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to work with Vanessa and Grazia. All the photos were shot on film on what turned out to be an unusually hot and windy day for November. I have so much respect for analogue photography and it's so exciting to see how the images turned out. 

This shoot also marks the first look at the fashion label Uniform I have been working on for the last year with my friend Maria. We're planning the photo shoot for February but in the meantime I'm enjoying having  a few of the samples live at my place. I have been wearing the leather basics everywhere (skirt, shorts and pinafore) paired back with the raglan silk blouse and the bell sleeve mini-dress with keyhole slits at the back and front. Can't wait to share more of Uniform when I get back from holidays! 

Thanks so much Vanessa for taking the time to photograph me, Hannah and Rohan for hanging behind the scenes and making me smile/laugh, and Maria for making Uniform a reality!

    I'm also fairly excited for Uniform to be launched (love the name), let me know if you need any assistance with the shoot (someone to capture behind the scenes footage etc).
