Here are a few pics from our exclusive shoot for Fashion Gone Rogue, featuring the mega-lovely Leomie Anderson. Wanted to do this shoot for ages, and ended up shooting it on the most cracked-out weather day London has seen for a while. View the whole series here.

Jade McSorley is not only a champ-i-on for braving WINTER-y temps in a tank top (occupational hazard), but also one of the coolest models we’ve met. Here is my favourite outtake from the shoot – with Jade snuggling under Naz’s cardi – but you can view the rest of our menswear-inspired shoot with Jade and the Tzarkusi boys here on As You Are.

Things learned on this shoot: Biscuits = English fuel.

Last summer, every time we turned the corner at Highbury tube station we came face to face with the frighteningly cool poster of Pedro Almodovar’s The Skin I Live In. Such a great design, I actually felt anxious looking at it! Plus, that paint treatment! Very cerebral and old-school in its positioning.

Despite the impression left by the poster and our wee soft spot for Almodovar, we put off seeing because of all the lukewarm reviews by our mates. But, we were so stupid! Saty and I watched it a couple of nights ago and I am still thinking about it. It is a really enjoyable film — flawless from a cinematography and art direction standpoint, and not nearly as ‘oh god, he didn’t just do that’ as some of his other films. All of the actors are perfect, even Banderas, who I am never excited to see. The plot is quite solid too, having most of the same themes as his other films – sex changes, mothers, sons, domination, etc. – but in a much cleaner way than usual. There are no miniature silent-film men climbing into lady-bits in this one! The humour is quite subtle too – that tiger! The only part I found ‘illogical’ is the issue of the dress towards the end, but I won’t go into that more – in case you too are stupid and haven’t seen this yet!

Below are some screen caps of our favourite scenes. Stunning, a bit reminiscent of Russ Meyer films. Oh, and Gaultier designed the costuming, which totally make sense. One more name to drop – Juan Gatti, Almodovar’s long-time collaborator, designed both the Victorian, anatomy-themed teaser poster, as well as the official one.

Even the titles are slick.

Dogging. Rich, Spanish people stylee.

The stunning teaser poster. It is hidden in the movie as well.

Ew, Antonio is wearing MBTs! Oh, but Pedro is rocking Prada. Photo from IMDB.

Here is Patrick, photographed after our James Small feature shoot for Fashionisto Magazine’s next issue. Things to know about Patrick: he’s not into wearing his hair forward, or short-shorts. And, that he’s an amazing sport – because we made him do both :)

“I’m not the one you want, babe
I’m not the one you need.”

Here are a couple of pics from our new shoot for Contra Magazine. We were given a brief of ‘The space in between’ – kinda vague, and wholly poetic. Therefore, our shoot was inspired by a gorgeous song (see below) from one of our favourite vague poets – Bob Dylan. View the whole shoot here.
