Stylin'
Friday, August 03, 2012
It feels like forever ago that I was playing with flowers, tramping about fields and pretending I had a clue how to be a stylist. I've lost all concept of time. It turns out that completely changing my daily routine has had more of an impact than I had expected. I knew it would be a change - that was the whole point - but I feel like all the projects I had been so carefully balancing have been tossed up into the air, and now I'm scrabbling on the floor trying to pick up the pieces.
My project with Jane Gowans is one of the lucky scraps I have so far managed to salvage from the jumbled heap that is my life these days. Just in time, too. Jane launches her Autumn/Winter 2012 colourways today, which means I finally get to show you some of my favourite pictures from the shoot courtesy of my friend Kristen.
It was hard for us to find a way to show off Jane's work without being all, "Hey, look at my jewellery! I'll just put my hand up here next to my face in a totally natural way! Did I mention my jewellery?" but we tried. Obviously, hanging around a field wearing a flower crown and no trousers isn't exactly normal (if that is normal for you, can we please swap lives?) but hopefully it's not completely ridiculous. A little ridiculous is fine, of course; it is fashion, after all.
Please, please go and visit her site to see the rest of the shoot and the full collection in all its glory.
Soo... what do you think?
(If you're thinking, "Hang on, is that model naked?", the answer is, fortunately, no.)

These pictures are beautiful! Great job both of you. I especially love the one where she's grabbing the grain, and the last one. Go you guys.

No only is the jewellery utterly gorgeous, your styling is magnificent. The photography is shit hot too. I LOVE the photo with the model sitting on the wall. The colours are perfect. And she's sitting how people actually sit! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE.
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE everything about every photo. I completely want to be that girl... Must. Refrain. From. Cutting. Fringe. Back.in.... Arrrrrgh
ReplyDeleteGorgeous jewellery and shown off beautifully, particularly like the hand on hip photo.
You did a really beautiful job- will there be a flower crown tutorial? Please. Pretty please.
Her fringe is gorgeous isn't it? Mine is driving me mad this morning so I have serious envy.
DeleteBe strong, don't do it. For each day that your fringe will look awesome (if it's anything like mine anyway) there will be 99 days where it pokes out in all random directions...
Kirsty I am awed by your talent. I mean, I knew you were cool and all that, but this is brilliant. Obviously Kristen and Jane had SOMEthing to do with it all, but we'll just ignore that and pretend this is all your awesome work.
ReplyDeleteOk, I can't leave it at that. All three of you are ridiculously talented. I am unutterably jealous of all of you.
I'm not generally a very fashion-ey type of person but these pics are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI want that chunky black jumper, it looks soooo cosy. And one of those necklaces... I can dream.
Lovely :)
xx
Also, her gingerness is putting me to shame so I'm off to dye my hair...
Delete*whispers* Don't tell anyone, but she's not a natural ginge...
DeleteNoooo waaaaayy! But it looks so...natural! I wish I could pull of ginger half as well as that.
DeleteYes orange hair. Also my dream.
DeleteAnd I also love the outfit / photo / color combo of that pic where she is sitting !
That red tights and mustard jumper shot makes me want to throw all of my clothes in a skip on account of being Nowhere Near Beautiful Enough
ReplyDeleteDude, you did a slammin' job! Also loving the red tights and mustard jumper. WANT.
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are deliciously summery but with a cool edge. A bit like Scotland at this time of year! I came across Jane Gowans' amazing jewellery only a few days ago whilst researching for my new job with Mary's Living and Giving and then I see that you guys are collaborating to win gold in the style stakes and I realise how cool and tight knit Edinburgh is! Bravo!
ReplyDeleteThe rings are beautiful, and I did a double take because the model looks exactly like Karen Gillian!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the kind comments about our shoot. Jane's latest range really is beautiful. Kirsty, you were fantastic - looking forward to our next project together. x
ReplyDeleteKirsty, Kirsten and Jane... these shots are freaking gorgeous! I love it all – especially her sitting on the wall in the yellow jumper and the one of her trailing her hand through the field (I think you totally nailed the 'look at my jewellery' in a really aspirational way!) Love it :) x
ReplyDeleteThese are sooo gorgeous. Amazing styling (love that yellow, navy, burgundy outfit), beautiful model and gorgeous jewellery
ReplyDeleteWOW!Amazing shoots!These photos are absolutely stunning!
ReplyDeleteThe rings are chic!
LOVE it. Go, you!
ReplyDeleteKirsty is a top stylist in the making! Thanks so much for all your help xx
ReplyDeleteLove these, love the clothes and the styling and the photos and the first photo most of all xx
ReplyDeleteAhh, the colours! So lovely. The one of her sitting on the wall is just glorious.
