University Fashion Shoot 90s

For my photography project I have running at the moment we have been asked to create a 8 page fashion editorial based on any SS13 trend of our choice. Of course I have decided to base mine on 90s fashion looking at both grunge and street/hip hop, along with my 90s theme the fashion story was based on a girl who was up to no good on the streets, smoking, drinking, - teenage dirt bag kind of theme. I styled the whole shoot by myself, it was something I have been looking forward to for a few weeks as I have been given a chance to photograph and style something for uni on something I’m truly passionate about. This is preview of one of the photographs, once I have edited them all I will post them on my blog, I will also post the finish product which is a 8 page fashion editorial for Dazed and Confused magazine. Doing this shoot today made me realise how much I love styling more than photography, it was truly the extra boost that I needed as I’m currently applying for internships/work experience.

The Bandana

As part of the 90s coming back in this seasons fashion this post of based on bandana print, I have an Instagram account and it seems as though everyone has gone crazy for bandana print both male and female. Bandanas were first seen on women during the 1960s as they were fighting for equal rights, they remained on the scene throughout the 80s and 90s, the classic bandana print and style has been seen on majority of the American rappers throughout the 90s those who include: Tupac, Snoop Dogg and also female singer Aaliyah often sported one. I have always personally loved the bandana print as it instantly reminds me all things 90s America, to have this classic 90s edge returning this season is amazing! I have seen many people putting their own twist on this and wearing it in all different ways and making it individual.

Rihanna For River Island

Hello,

I’ve been very absent with my blog lately due to uni work, by the time I’ve done a day’s worth of uni work I just want to get to bed and chill out! Its all for a good cause as its for my degree obviously, however I do need to make time for my blog even if its just one post a week.. Anyway, I’m so behind with my blog I haven’t even had time to blog about Rihannas collection for River Island that was launch how many weeks ago lol. Her collection was debuted at LFW on the 16^th February, I watched the live stream on Facebook and I was amazed by what she had produced, there were a couple of things I wasn’t too sure about but the vast majority of her collection I instantly fell in love with. The collection is a mix of 90s grunge and streetwear, much of Rihannas outfits have a flavour of these elements in them so it is very clear that she has put her input into this collection. Her collection was launched on the 5^th March online and in selected stores, I was surprised at how quickly most of it sold out online and in store! I have selected some of my favourite items from her collection:

I haven't been out in Southampton for MONTHS it just doesn't appeal to me anymore, I'd much rather go put in London as I have a much better time with much better music & clubs. Anyway, this was my outfit last week as I went out with my girls in Southampton for the first time all year lol. I wanted to go for the casual/dressy look, these are my all time favourite pair of jeans as they go with near enough anything! This white mesh top is from Topshop, I had my eye on it for a while before I bought it, I feel the top adds that element of dressyness to the outfit along with the shoes of course!

Dungarees are making a massive come back into fashion this season, as a massive lover of the 90s fashion I feel this is brilliant! I bought these pair of dungarees back in January they're so comfortable, fun & easy to wear! I have teamed mine with my Timberland boots & my white roll neck crop top to polish off that classic 90s look!

Textures

As the weather has been so cold of late, its all about layering! Laying has always been extremely popular within fashion especially during the winter months (obviously), I have done some layering of my own! I have styled my fur filet over my faux leather jacket, I love the look & texture of leather & fur together I feel that it gives an outfit a more 'expensive' look so to speak. I have also teamed with outfit with my favourite necklace from Primark which I bought for 50p in the sale crazy I know!

I've been away...

I have found it sooo hard to blog aswell as be on top with my university work, this term I promised myself to stay focused with my work and get as much done as I can, I would say that I have been doing really well so far and I’m proud of myself for doing so! Anyway I’m going to upload some things which I have been meaning to upload for a while but haven’t had time to do!
