Jimmy Choo Campaign | Cape Town

Posted in Fashion, Shoots by

Being able to work on a Jimmy Choo campaign was definitely a seasonal highlight. Produced by Solar Productions in Cape Town, and shot by photographer Yvan Fabing, this campaign was shot over two days, the first of which was at the Taal Monument in Paarl and styled by Kaylene West, and day two was at the Atlantis dunes and was styled by me. Hair & makeup artist Charmaine De Kock tracked down two gorgeous real hair wigs that she cut and styled to complete the twin look, as this campaign was based on twin models being shot in environments that included reflective elements. Props stylist Katy Mills had a very impressive silver surfboard made up that we used at Atlantis dunes, as well as mirrors and mirror curves that we shot against. Here’s some final images …

Heatons 2015 Kids Campaign

Posted in Fashion by

Season in Cape Town flies by at warp speed, with hardly any time to reflect on what’s gone on from one job to the next. As a stylist you get booked on a multitude of different genre jobs from fashion campaigns, commercials and catalogues to prop styling. The Spring Summer 2015 kids campaign was one where I did the props styling, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Now in winter, with time to reflect and grey skies outside, it’s inspiring to see how bright pops of colour and pantone swatches turned into electric painted beach huts, colourful bunting and bright surfboards for the beach shoot, whilst a more pastel country palate combined with fabric tee pees, large windmills, flowers and carts featured in the country version of the campaign. I even got to work with my goddaughter Maia (in the blue jumpsuit) for the country shoot. Doing kids props is really fun and whimsical and takes one back to the playful thought process of being a child. I really had fun with this one.

Young Hearts Run Free

In the second set of shoots shot by Peter Beavis and styled by me, we shot at the cut off bridge in Cape Town. Inspired by the free spirited and 90s feel of True Romance, with a retro Pontiac thrown into the mix, we fought against the howling south easter to get an awesome set of images.
