Bitter Candy

My latest shoot with Xanthe inspired by Meadham Kirchoff, 90s grunge and the Spice girls. My fellow artist and friend Katie Bowker created the amazing Floral frenzy back drop which was actually mind blowingly 3D! Design Duo - We are Plaque http://www.weareplaque.com/ kindly lent garments from their spring summer collection and Temi channeled a Courtney Love vibe with the hair and make up. Massive thanks to amazing models Madeline White (this was her debut shoot!!!) and Kaitlin Pilcher.

Cyber Housewife

Katie's amazing skirt looks like it has arrived from the future, it reminded me of Vivienne Westwood and evokes the baroque period however I decided to contrast its futuristic vibe with a 50's themed outfit hence the name 'Cyber housewife.' I am also somewhat obsessed with Mad Men at the moment. I made the top myself using some vintage fabric and vintage collar from a night gown. The kitsch element is counterbalanced by the sinister edge of the summer house and Abi's expression.
