I shot these with Richard Ayres, in my parents’ garden on a sunny day last week. My dog, Scamper won’t pose for a photo with me but loves getting in the way.
I’m looking forward to some more sunny days so I can get some wear out this jumpsuit I found on ebay. I don’t usually wear such obvious prints but it’s really comfortable and cool.

Glasses: Asos
Ring: The rogue and the wolf

The latex swing skirt is one of the most wearable items from the Eustratia SS 14 collection and I wanted to incorporate it into a more casual daytime outfit as an example.
The outfits I’ve featured on here have been predominantly black so I chose the translucent pink skirt, firstly to add a bit of colour and secondly because I love the way you can see the legs silhouetted beneath it.
I’ve always loved combining textures and I think faux fur/feathers look great with latex or patent leather.
Unfortunately by the time I got round to photographing the outfit it had started to rain so you will have to excuse my hair.

This season, I was delighted to be invited to showcase my collection at Manchester fashion week.
I was part of the “We are Manchester” showcase on the Saturday and presented my spring/summer collection, which can be viewed here.
My friends from Vauhaus came to help out and also co-hosted the aftershow party, which I will write about in my next post.
Amber paired the mirror leggings and crop top with her horsebird varsity for a cool day time look while flyering and helping dress the models.
Jen and Hazel, my personally selected models, ready for the show!

The flower playsuit is one of my favourite pieces in the range and features over 100 hand-made flowers. Special thanks to my intern, Lindsay for helping me make them.
The models were provided by PHA models.

I walked on at the end to take my bow, something that was a first for me as most of my shows don’t take this format.
For information or to shop the collection, please head to the online store.
I’ve had a couple of busy weeks preparing for Manchester fashion week and it’s been hard to keep up with my regular routine and posts. We managed to get out just before the sun went down a couple of days ago to shoot these. I’ve been loving my furry bag all winter but the days are getting longer and warmer now so it’s probably about time I put it away for the summer.

Today I went to drop off some samples with a stylist. Hopefully they’ll be featured in a cool editorial. I was in a rush so I put my hair into a messy half-up twist bun.
I customised my blazer with some small spikes to give it a bit of edge.
I also enjoy slipping bits of latex into my everyday wardrobe. Today I wore my kindaku harness over a mesh, polka dot dress.
I also rediscovered my long socks, that have been hiding away over the winter, due to not provided quite enough warm.
When I came home I found a little bag of goodies from bodyjewellerypiercing.com which I will be featuring in a different post, but I decided to try a couple of the pieces out.
Earrings: Richard Ayres
Blazer: H&M
Dress: Miss Selfridge
