First Editorial Shoot for my Grad Collection

Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It was my first time working with a stylist and it was rewarding to see how Sophie put the outfits together from my collection according to her preference and personal taste. I always look to editorial shoots in magazine for inspiration when I am designing so I was excited to see my first collection in this context and hopefully I will have many more opportunities.

The new campaign for Raf Simons AW 12-13, photographed and directed by Pierre Debusschere, beautifully captures Yannick Abrath in a film that merges and distorts the body. The best outfits from the collection are captured here with the dip dye hair extension jackets, the slick layering of shirts with fantastic dropped neckline shirts and creative reinvention of baseball caps stylishly worn backwards.

I definitely have a real obsession with floral menswear.

Maybe it has stemmed from my own research and fabric choice for my graduate collection.

Carven Menswear S/S13 have some fantastic floral pieces and I especially have fallen in love with the branded grey 'Carven' jumper <3

 In my opinion? Men should wear more floral...
