Pat McGrath up in my face!







Pat McGrath.
PAT MCGRATH!
'Pat McGrath's here to do your wedding day make up...'
Could you imagine!
Pat's work became recognised in the early 1990's with the amazing i-D magazine and can now works with major houses such as Prada, Miu Miu and Dolce and Gabbana. She also is in charge of Max Factor and Cover Girl.
Remember when we talked about Guido Palau?
Pat and Guido have been called 'The Dream Team' because of their collaboration with catwalk shows and photoshoots.
The main fact I love about Pat McGrath is she had no formal training.
Pat just kept playing.
Keep playing.



Pringle of Scotland.








A beautiful short film directed by Ryan McGinley and featuring Tilda Swindon shot near Tilda's home in Inverness.


Amazing cinematography and not only brilliant for brand awareness but also a brilliant advert for the Scottish landscape.


Get to Scotland.

enokae... Where do you find them?

enokae was born and raised in Ireland and was a graphic designer for ten years before switching to photography. This was perhaps the best move for the now London based photographer because after spending a decade giving business brand identity, (his work can still be seen on the streets of Dublin...), he has seen what works commercially and in turn, what people want.
enokae first makes sure his models are have stunning features (cheekbones, strong jaw lines, oozing sex), captures every angle and spends hours exploring them in post production. This is not to say he cannot make us 'normies' look stunning. He once threw me into a simple Topman jacket and tee, took a few snaps, put his own flavour into the cleaning up and BAM! People who hadn't seen me for years until that pic on Facebook were (a bit too) shocked on how the photo made me look taller and younger. I had to keep telling them 'But, that's not ME!... Well, yes, it is me... But an enokae version of me...' Friends were confused.
His final result is clean, expensive, sexy and secretive.
Watch him.















Guido Palau.


If you have admired hair on the catwalk for houses such as Marc Jacobs, Prada, Balenciaga, Versace, Lanvin and Calvin Klein or the print adverts for Louis Vuitton, Mulberry and Roberto Cavalli, (breathe...) chances are you are looking and the work of one of the worlds most in demand hair stylists Guido Palau.
This is the man who gave us the super big afro for LV, or the double hair fins separated by a braid that looked like something straight out of a sci-fi film for Alexander McQueens final show right through to the easy, sexy waves for Versace. This man can do anything.
A completely different attitude to the fabric of hair and it's capabilities.
Last year alone for fashion weeks around the world, he and his 70 or so assistance styled 7 shows in New York, 11 shows in Paris, 2 shows in London and 6 shows in Milan.
You get the idea.
He's good.
Be his assistant.
