Totes Unique

January 27th, 2012

Back in September I shot the Topshop Unique SS12 show for a magazine feature. Sadly the feature got killed, but now the pictures are un-embargoed I can at least show them to you! I shot the run-through and backstage preparations before the show, which is always my favourite bit to photograph and was a ton of fun. You can see the entire great big gallery in massive pictures over here. I’ll be running another live gallery for London Fashion Week this season, so look out for that in a few weeks time!

See moar!

One of my favourite things to draw, look at in museums and hoard pictures of on my hard drive is a good old national costume. Obviously I have a particular affinity for the Ukrainian and Russian ones, but I’m an equal opportunity enthusiast. I particularly love the Hungarian and Serbian ones (this one is actually genuinely stylish!). These are two quick costumey paintings from my sketchbook.

Flickr is an absolute treasure trove for this kind of thing, here are just a few good ones I’ve found:
