Kate Bossworth

Kate Bosworth: Vogue Italia December 09
I still remember this editorial. It is the Italian Vogue I can't understand the writing but the images and editorials are so theoretic, so imaginative.
I loved this editorial on Kate Bosworth and still continue to love it months on. I love the colour, the contrast, the simplicity of her outfits, her expressions, the hair and make up. I love the entire feel of the shoot. I'm used to seeing Kate sweet and pretty. I love seeing her a little bit edgier.She is amazing and love that she can mix up her style and look amazing in all genera's of fashion.

This image was a shot I took one afternoon on the beach where I grew up about 4 years ago. My home town is the beauiful Corindi Beach on the North coast in NSW. This day was the day after I purchased my camera. I surprised myself and Carena with the images we walked away with. This was the money shot. I wanted her to be relaxed so I made her wet her hair and dance right on sunset. Shots before this were hard and too serious. I wanted her to let go of everything and have FUN. This was the finished product of that. Four years on and still one of my favourate photographs I have ever taken.

Expression

fashion is an expression... meaning there are really no such thing as "out of fashion" because fashion is only a means of ones expression... in every humans' unique expression of their style their personality is being reflected... fashion will always be unique to everyone... fashion is an expression, a means to communicate...
Such a great philosophy to have. However there are boundaries in fashion people flirt with the line but there are no rules. !

These Images were a shoot I styled and photographed. A Brisbane label. On the images are my old email and my middle name is Louise.
Model: Brooke Vardi
Stylist & photographer: Emma Holder

Show Pony

This Style ticks all boxes - groomed, easy, wearable and was seen in a multitude of incarnations: Ultra glossy ( jill sander). side part (Stella McCartney), with coloured extensions (Miu Miu), high on the head (Thierry Mugler) and bouncy ( Louis Vuitton).
It is one of my favorites and easiest to do. Back comb and hairspray.

be inspired & stay inspired

I am a visual person and love looking at images that amaze and inspire me. I don't like books to be closed in a book shelf I need to see them. On the coffee table or on my bed side table on my mood and inspiration boards. Often I carry them around with me daily to work and read on my lunch break. I love reading and being inspired by respected and talented designers, stylists, authors, fashion Icons and anyone that loves beauty and glamour.
Above are my top ten books along with Vogue, Harper's, Madison and Russh Magazine. I love the editorials and the fashion boundaries that continue being pushed and stretched on a daily basis. I want to be up to date with the latest trends, hair styles, make up and new up and coming Designers. It is my job to know whats hot, whats not and most importantly whats right for you.
If your in need of some inspiration these are the books you should check out. And remember go to your local library to consume yourself and get out of the house and into a different surrounding.
