Styling, Sequins & Shoes.

As you know, Jazzy Jeff's Junk had a photo shoot with Labelled Magazine a few months ago, shot by Rococo Imaging. I styled and provided all the clothes for the shoot, which is being featured in Labelled Magazine later this month. I've received some of the shots from the photographers and they are beautiful, really well shot and edited (the styling isn't too bad either!).

Here are a few of my favourite shots from the shoot. We used the beautiful Taps Bar in Leicester - a cosy basement with lots of cubby holes and distressed walls, which I think worked really well with the colours and patterns of the clothes. I'm really excited to see them in glossy print! The models were fantastic and hopefully I shall be working with them again on further shoots. All the clothes in the shoot will be available on the facebook page as soon as the photos are published.

In other news, I've been working a lot on the online side of Tinfish/Irregular Choice - which involves lots of trying on the new shoes! Perks of the job and all that. Here are my favourites from Irregular Choice, called Slam Dunk. They have pigs on. And you can see my new foot tattoo which i'm in love with, and had it shaded and coloured later that day!

 

Stay Jazzy. H x

Fashion Show.

Backstage photo of my Collection, entitled 'Wir Liben' (We're Alive in German).

Photograph my Dad took of Me on the Catwalk last night at the Fashion Show. It was incredible having my friends and family there to see it.
It was an honour to be awarded the Outstanding Acheivement Award, and the Sustainable Fashion Award for the collection. I cried a lot, but mainly because its been the best two years of my life.
Hopefully, I will be able to continue working on pieces similar, and concentrate more on Jazzy Jeff's Junk Vintage. Also, with the talk of an Internship, and placement work, it's hopefully going to be a very bright future.

Derelict Photoshoot.

So last week I styled a photoshoot for Jazzy Jeff's Junk. It was marvellous weather, although we found it difficult to find a decent location.
Eventually, we opted for the burnt down factory near my college in central Leicester. The shots taken were incredible, take by Joe Vozza. I wanted the derelict buildings and muted colours of the wasteland to contrast with the brightness of the colours, and it worked so well. My models were my friends, Jess Butterfield, Zoe Sweeney & Alice Trice-Rolph (I was also in afew cheeky shots).

11 Key Pieces.

Found this on my Tumblr blog harrietmaymann.tumblr.com, from A/W 11.

So i read in Grazia about the 11 pieces they feel should be key items this season. I’ve decided to do my own spin, vintage style.

1. Grazia says -Oversized Men’s Watch.
Instead - Oversized Jewellery, and lots of it. It’s definatly a ‘less is more’ trend, and i guess this is more personal choice. When it comes to accessorising vintage i do feel you should add lots of jewellery to complete a look.

2. Grazia says - White Jeans.
Instead - 1970s Levi’s Jean’s cut into shorts. Definatly a firm favourite at Gold Rush, and work so well during the summer with cute loafers, dressed up at night and with thick tights in winter. White Jeans are vile, unless your channeling George Micheal in the Wham! days (a strong look, thats a given).

3. Grazia says - Tailored Trench Coat.
Instead - a Moleskin or Fur coat. Vintage furs are ridiculously beautiful and no two are ever the same. I live in my Rabbit Fur coat during winter, it’s warm and makes an outfit.

4. Grazia says - LBD.
Instead - A 1940s Tea Dress. I know little black dresses are timeless, but i just think the cuts and tailoring in tea dresses are beautiful. If your as pale as me aswell, then you know that some black pieces can make you look like the walking undead, and sometimes colour is needed.

5. Grazia says -Aviators.
Instead - 1970s Tortoise shell framed rayban style. Just a little more individual chic, a little less C List celeb.

6. Grazia says -Turtle Neck Knits.
Instead - A Thick Grandad Knit. Go to your charity shops and raid the men’s section for some thick button down oversized cardigans. Definatly worth an investment, an oversized knit can pull an outfit together to create a ‘just got out of bed and threw this on’ look, and can even look good thrown over a jazzy night out outfit instead of taking a heavy jacket or coat.

7. Grazia says - Tailored Trousers.
Instead - High Waisted 80s Trousers. I own about 5 pairs, in bright jewel colours, tie-dye and peacock print. These style trousers define hips and create a more hourglass silhouette, whilst steering clear of the boring black-straight leg cut look.

8. Grazia says - Dark Jeans & a Tee.
Instead - anything else. I feel unless your a young teen, or an off duty supermodel, this look is a little tired, when there is so much vintage to play with, why look for an alternate for this?

9. Grazia says - Blazer.
Instead - Oversized Silk Shirts. Silk shirts add an extra texture to an outfit and come in loads of patterns and prints. Just beautifully cut to give a more playful alternative outfit.

10. Grazia says -Sexy Heels.
Instead - Platforms or Shoe Boots. If like me you hate the thought of tottering around on stilletos alnight, then definatly go for a chunky platform. Iif your wearing dresses from the 60’s and 70’s then give an extra boost with some thick black platforms or suede chunky heels.

11. Grazia says - Structured Handbag.
Instead - Saddle bags, or snakeskin bags. Saddle bags can fit a life in them, and snakeskins are beautiful for an evening bag. Again, very individual and personal choice.
