Only just noticed this new label by Antonio Romano and Francesco Alagna. However on my daily trail of blogs, style sites and brand online spaces one of which is always Trendland.com I couldn´t help but feel intrigued by the contrast and design of their garments, which is enhanced by dramatic photography.
The name for the label may come as a surprise too, the word ´breakfast´can signify early morning, sunrise, and light eating however the design and styling of this label represents anything other than those adjectives.

All the more I love how they have layered different textures and melancholy tones to create a severe mood of darkness and mystery. The washed out tones of colour in the models hair is an interesting match too, however I would scrap the pea green background and he drones out the ambience. As for the mens styling again I love the contrast of the airy pattern of his tee against the block of darkness in his jacket. Look forward to seeing more of this label.

ESTILISTA.

In the run up to the move to spend summer in Spain I thought it would be useful to get to know Spanish style, and how the Spanish stylista's are wearing the brand Adolfo Dominguez.
Lookbook.nu and Trendtation.com are brimming with creative images of style shots, some amateur some by stylists themselves. 

Here are the ones that caught my eye...

Leather Skirt- Adolfo Dominguez

SPENDATURES: PART TWO

AZTEC, EMBROIDERY, GEIGER AND CLASHING PRINTS.

Another set of images of my little spends. Seems like a lot, but it is at least two months worth. Had a cheeky trip to Liverpool with the girls and couldn't help myself when I went into Urban Outfitters, it really is such a tempting shop, I want everything in my wardrobe!

BRIGHTENS

Haven't written a post in a while so thought my next post needed to make a statement; COLOUR.
The backdrop in this photo shoot could be every photographers worst nightmare or every photographers DREAM. In my opinion, the location is amazing and I found myself imagining what I would do if I had the chance to shoot there.

Print and color clashing is everywhere this summer, can't say I have managed to rock the floral on floral or the zebra print with leopard print, yet these images are the definition of CLASH. And I love them.

I wish I had found them earlier before handing in the work for my final year project, as they are pretty similar to my experiments with mixed media and photography.

PHOTOGRAPHER: Nicole L Hill

STYLIST: Chesley Tolentino

MODEL: Jennifer McManis

Examples of the shoot I created for final project. I edited it by scanning in watercolors from my sketchbook and enlarging them on Photoshop, multiplying them in with the photograph. The styling is mixed media too, using an eclectic pattern cut out for the top and structure shorts.

Artur Wesolowski

 I first spotted Wesolowski's beautifully talented photographs on Trendland, and ever since I am amazed by his work. I think its the juxtapositioning between model, styling and location. The styling has no boundaries and is yet still very tasteful, leaving alot to the imagination, if you are viewing it in a sensual and seductive approach. The camera angles also are exquisite, I love how the model is either cropped, looked down at or up at, or not in the centre of the photograph. This technique I love because everytime you look at the image you see it in a different way; a different viewpoint, keeping the viewer continuously intrigued and entertained.
