rachel freire AW11/12

So I'm a sucker for Rachel Freire, but her latest collection blows her previous stuff out of the water. Even so, it was easy to choose a favourite piece; this catsuit jumped out at me instantly. 

Everything about this appeals to my personal style - sure, Freire's work is often presented in an off-kilter way, at least for the fashion masses - but I wouldn't care to try and dress it down. The catsuit's perfect for the types of clubs I frequent, but I could also see myself wearing it as an everyday item - just a fierce step up from my favored sleek trousers/top combo. The sheer panels add just the right amount of sex whilst remaining modest, and it genuinely looks as though you could kick ass in this thing. Five stars.

Go here for the rest of the collection and more of Freire's work.

I recently did a photo shoot with Yvette Bessels here in Warwick; the first shoot I've done since last September and actually my first outdoors shoot, ever! I was heavily inspired by science fiction and my favourite animes. 

The styling was relatively easy for this one, as much of the items are directly from my everyday wardrobe. I don't always put them together in such an overt way, but I still felt pretty comfortable walking around the uni campus in them... really, this is just another extension of how I often dress! But more on that another time.
Makeup was a collaboration between myself and Yvette.
