I was lucky enough to work with LA SuperStar Costume Designer Casey Storm. Casey's credit list includes.. Where the Wild Thing Are, Zodiac and pretty much every cool music video to come out of MTV in the 90's... so basically my entire childhood.. This interview is a total inspiration to me...

Meeting Paddy.. Film4 Campaign
"Films for Life"- an epic Film 4 campaign, Directed by Kate Dunn featuring Paddy Considine and Vicky McClure.
Set in a post-apocalyptic world, where Paddy Considine may be the only survivor...
For this brief I wanted the costume to reflect on how you may live should you be the last survivor. I wanted to mix random elements with practical items. For example.. underneath Paddy's beaten Donkey Jacket and worn shirt he wore a vintage, and broken down "Hawaii" t-shirt- perhaps a nod to his pre-apocolipse life.
I also looked at customising the costume to add some of the characters personality. For this I collected objects such as a tin soldier, an old ship whistle, the frame of some Pincer glasses and old buttons. I then threaded and attached theses objects to the button holes of his jacket- as though Paddy had collected theses objects on his many journeys through the barren landscape.
Other details that I threw in included... leather pieces around his beaten boots, a vintage scarf for a bag strap and old potato sack cloth as a hand wrap..... I hope that you like the results.....

Jean Paul Gautier Commercial..testing..
When I was asked to style a commercial for super talented director Sasha Nathwani I was filled with excitement.. especially when I read the script... Jean Paul Gautier. Finally a chance to use beautiful couture gowns! After a manic few days of prep and fittings the shoot was a great success. And I look forward to working with Sasha's team in the future.... details coming soon...
Bang On' "Got IT" Music Video
A complete and utter random and quirky brief was thrown at me from director Jamie Roberts.
Robo Dancers, the Pope, Burlesque Beauty, a Mad Scientist, Retro Chess players... and a GIANT 'IT'??!!!
The IT character turned out to be a successful collaboration with prop genius Alex Bowens. I was rather sad when by the end of the shoot 'IT' ended up in the boxing ring with "Bang On" and then finally finishing his Foam-Board life by diving into a swimming pool! :-(
