Back in June I got the chance to assist costume designer/stylist Billy Heinemann on a shoot he'd been cooking up for a loooong time. Based on a collective obsession with Game of Thrones and the talents of photographer Amelia Dowd, photography assistant Abraham De Souza, makeup artist Billy Weston, hair stylist Natashia Steyn and dancer/performer Josh Cocks, it was rewarding to see Billy's vision actualize! We even got to play with leather harnesses, braces, belts and crystal studded armour/jewelery from Ruby & Prankstar. All the rest was Billy's own clothing or crowns and accessories he'd made.
Being apart of such a 'story' inspired shoot, this was an exciting opportunity for me to create and think outside the box and also to be SUPER organized. I still find that creating and building fashion characters are one of the most playful and intrigueing parts of fashion! We should all do that more often even if it's just to pop down to the shops, don't you think?

Now that it's been chosen and published by Papercut Magazine, we can finally show everyone what our little dream team are capable of! All involved were so lovely to work with and super focused, make sure your checkout their pages. Anyway, here are a few of my favourite shots, you can see the rest of them here!
Let me know what you think? Hope you enjoy these. You can probably pick out all the characters that inspired our looks from one of our favourite shows (addictions) too!
