With Castiano settled, it's time to concentrate on the shot. Abbey Lee draws attention to nail technician Sophy Robson's extraordinary burnt and distressed talons, essential to the feral and demonic look of the story. That's it from me for today, but be sure to check out the final results in... [more]
Well, you didn't imagine that Abbey Lee had legs the length of the rest of us mere mortals, did you? [more]
I thought I was being all clever by spotting Samurai costume in Gareth's collections and so asked him about his direction yesterday -apparently- that all the puffs and gathers should be nice and taut.

We've covered the flora - now let's talk fauna! Enter Castiano, a Dutch Friesian, standing 16.3 hands. You'll notice he's had his hair done for the event: now to try on the 'outfit' Gareth and Henderson have crafted for him. [more]
Of course, it's not just the cameras that are a-snapping: the film is also a-rolling. Once the definitive still has been got, it's time to concentrate on the motion sequences.

The visual similarity of those graphic photographs to... [more]
I've stumbled into the second day of a shoot focusing on Gareth Pugh's A/W '08-09 collection for Dazed and Confused magazine. Here you see new face Abbey Lee, straining under the weight of Gareth's tabard constructed entirely out of safety pins, which the designer guestimates weighs about the same as... [more]
Patrick Cox has dropped by for this evening's Fashion DJs, with his own very special guest: Caesar, his French Bull Terrier. Intrepid as ever, Ross has already collared the pair for a contribution to our ever-popular POPVOX [more]
Both Penny and Dorian insist on a certain amount of Scotch on every shoot. Here's Mark, a Glaswegian with a mean ear for a dodgy decibel, tuning up before our next live act. [more]
Jason's gang perform flawlessly to Donna Summer's , 'I Feel Love'. These guys sure have rhythym! [more]
Andrew and Alex have been drafted in from Jason Evan's second year at Farnham to don these ingenious outfits for his psychedelic trip of a set. The LSD experience for free? Where else could you get that?! [more]
