Andy MacGregor

Have you ever wondered who did this...?

I've been meaning to post about this guy since i began Lissi Loves and am finally getting around to it now which is pretty pathetic but anyhoo... The man of the moment (or rather the man of MY moment) is a Mr Andy MacGregor, prop stylist and creator to some of the most influential publications, photographers and galleries in the world. This painfully talented guy makes loads of the props for legendary photographer and personal hero Tim Walker, as well as huge advertising campaigns like the one above for The Guardian.

But for some reason, whilst surfing his website it was his illustrations that caught my eye the most. Everything seems a little looser, a little more hectic and less perfected than his prop styling pieces. Just love the animal depictions, and adore the kind of mad, Noah's Ark on skates vibe in the fifth picture down... Check out the rest of his work here.

So good to see Liberty Ross's triumphant return to the catwalks this London Fashion Week - she was missed. Adore these photos of her.

My first ever shoot at London College of Fashion - four years ago... Apologies to Jo and Anna (my reluctant but brilliant models for pretty much the whole year) for digging these bad boys out. We did this particular one atop Anna's Notting Hill roof...

Studs and spikes


(images from jak and jil blog)

Having a few boring hours in the office today led to a massive archival ransack of every Jak and Jil post ever written... Left me feeling inspired. And has re-awoken my dormant stud obsession (previous results of which laid waste to much of my 90's denim). Am going to dig out the bags and bags of them which i bought last spring... Oooh i love a good weekend project.

p.s. even though the Givenchy studded sandals with socks combo at the bottom is borderline monstrous, they kind of remind me of Mikey J at his style peak. And ski boots. Givenchy studded ski boots mmmmm...
