Passion is very important. I think it is important to write about what you naturally like. So for example with this collection if I was writing about it, it is so easy to because I naturally relate to it so and that is the biggest thing I’ve learned from everyone that even though we have very different blogs, it is all about passion and being true to your unique self.
I shared the above thought on camera as captured in the above Stefanel autumn winter 2012-2013 blogger lunch event video. More on the 28th March 2012 Stefanel Milan blogger event here.Thursday, March 22nd, 2012

No one has quite fused technology and high fashion together like Hussein Chalayan.
I’ve followed his work since the mid 90′s when I was in secondary school. I remember being transfixed by the jacket Björk wore on the cover of her Post album. Crafted by Hussein Chalayan from envelope paper, I could not get it off my mind. Chalayan a recent graduate (his The Tangent Flows graduate collection had involved garments he’d buried then unburied in his garden) had me excited about fashion design.
The multi award winning designer has taken fashion to unmatched frontiers, winning accolades and awards such as British Fashion Designer of the Year twice.
Seventeen years later and his work; Black Line (his catwalk collection) and new younger capsule line, Grey Line still inspire, challenge and thought provoke.
Given this background, it was thus truly then an indescribable honor to be asked to interpret the Grey Line by Chalayan. This was in conjunction with a launch party over London Fashion Week Autumn Winter 2012-2013 for the Grey Line and Chalayan e-store.
I teamed up with photographer Phill Taylor who shot the above portraits of me in my styled head to toe Grey Line looks (minus accessories).
As a nod to Hussein Chalayan’s genius use of technology, Phill came up with the idea to then overlay the finished portrait imagery with code from my blog and the Chalayan site.
At the launch party, interpreted images by collaborators were displayed as seen here.
The portraits of me by Phill are subject of this post on the Hussein Chalayan blog.
See the newly launched e-store and new Airborne fragrance.
More on Phill Taylor’s photography here and here.
Many kind thanks to Hussein Chalayan, Phill and Elizabeth and Davinaa at Hussein Chalayan.
