International model turned best-selling crime writer Tara Moss has just released a new book named Siren. I was asked to style her for the press release with Sydney photographer Elizabeth Alnutt and makeup artist Mel Burnicle.

The shoot was a touch sexy crime investigator, a touch show girl and a touch burlesque.

BERTIE BLACKMAN DOES PARKLIFE

My client Bertie Blackman this year was booked on the Parklife toured, naturally i offered to style her for the gigs, and in return her manager flew me up to Brisbane to drop off the clothes and hang with Bertie and her posse for the day. Not that we got to see much of the other acts as after the show at 2pm (which incidentally she ROCKED) she had quick shower then an outfit change ad then we had to set on a mission to find the Triple J tent for a live interview and then a spot on Video Hits... before you knew it was 7pm and i had to jump back in a cab the airport for the last flight out of brissie back to good ole Sydney town.

PREMONITION SUMMER 09

A friend of mine asked me a few months back to do the grooming for his look book. Of course i would say yes, you never know where it can lead. It was quite a looooong day especially as it was long weekend, but i think we did a great job for both labels Premonition and Instinct.
As the day was going on i luckily had brought my camera with me to take some behind the scenes pics
Check them out

HOT IN THE CITY - CREAM MAGAZINE

I have been a busy bee this month with editorials. This shoot was titled Hot in the City. Shot by formly Melbourne photographer Mikael Wardhana,we spent a day trolloping around Sydney. Starting in a warehouse in Surry Hills to the Opera House, a beautiful church in the middle of the city and ending on the Harbour bridge. Mikeal gave it a beautiful cinematic feel. I was so happy with the end result. From a stylist point of view i wanted lots of textures and layers. I had shot a beautiful piece from Jayson Brunsdon NYC collection months before which never had been published so i requested it again, as you can see it's soooooo amazing (last shot).
I had asked a friend Donny Galella if he had any amazing hats and luckily for me he had 2 great pieces, one being the mohawk hat (picture 2) and then a crazy ass 3 pill box layer hat, teamed up with a gorgeous Rachel Gilbert gown, the picture look sublime (picture 5)

AMANDA LEPORE ROCKS SATURDAY NIGHT!!

After all the hype and hysteria of Amanda Lepore arriving in Sydney Saturday night proved to be a HUGE hit.....hundreds of boys waiting patiently in line out the front of Nevermind vying for a spot inside which was packed to the rafters. Then around 1130pm Ms Lepore arriving in style in a Bentley to be greeted by a legion of pap's (me included).
Around midnight she did her first performance which went down a treat, then around 130ish she reappeared on stage for a second performance which ended in her taking off most of her clothes and parading around in a sequined g string and nipple tassles.... hot hot hot
Here are some pics form the evening, sadly i never captured any pics of her semi naked...
