Behind the Scenes at our Photoshoot!

Have you ever wondered what the stunning girls that appear in our campaigns are really like when they're off duty? Or who the people working behind the camera really are? We've asked them for you....

RileyRiley - Model

How long have you been modelling?

3 years, I was spotted at the Birmingham clothes show

What do you like most about our new collection?

I love the dresses!

What's your favourite drink?

I love loads of drinks! Nothing with alcohol though, I hate alcohol, bleugh.

What's your dream destination?

The Maldives. I'm going travelling later this year for 6 months to South East Asia.

What bugs you?

Loads of stuff but I can't think. I know... Cats!

What music are you listening to at the moment?

Wale, J. Cole, Frank Ocean...

What would you be doing if you weren't modelling?

Er.. probably retaking my exams!

What's different about this shoot to others?

It's really fun and good food!

EdaEdda - Model  

How did you get into modelling?

I was spotted about a year ago back home (in Iceland). They sent my photos over here and here I am! I've been here about 2 weeks and plan to stay for 6 months with my boyfriend who's going to study from here.

What do you love most about our new collection?

I love the colours and the prints.

What's your dream destination?

Since watching Finding Nemo with my friend when we were 10, we've always wanted to go to Australia. 

What's your favourite drink?

Icelandic water... I don't really like the water here. 

What music are you listening too?

Florence & The Machine. I also played the clarinet so I like listening to classical music.

What's your ideal night out?

I like going round to friends houses, I don't like being surrounded by drunk strangers when I'm out.

What would you be doing if you weren't modelling?

I'm a bit of a geek so probably studying. And playing clarinet!

BethBeth - Make-up Artist

How long have you been a make-up artist?

10 Years. I didn't realise it was even a career until I did fashion at uni. It's a shame you don't find it's possible to do as a living when you're still in school!

What's your dream destination?

Somewhere hot, on stilts, with my husband.

Night in or night out?

Out! Dinner followed by cocktails. I like a classic cocktail, like a Bellini or a Cosmo.

Have you got any  make-up tips for us?

 It starts with the skin - use a good moisturiser and exfoliator (I recommend Dermatoligica Daily Microfoliant). If you have oily skin, blot your T-Zone but not the cheeks so they still look dewy. Everything else can be fixed - e.g. you can cover spots with a good concealer, Mac and Laura Mercier concealers are great. A good foundation is also a life saver  - I use Chanel Pro Lumiere.

What trends are you seeing at the moment?

Everyone is doing pastels - peachy cheeks and gloss go really well with this look. Alternatively, off-set the pastel tones with bright neon lips - as long as they're in the same colour palette.NAILS

What do you like most about our upcoming collection?

The colour and the dresses - it's so nice to see when every thing's so grey outside.

Bianca

Bianca - Hair Sylist

How long have you been doing hair?

19 years! I started when I was three, styling my Grandad's hair. I got my first job in hair styling when I was 13 (I had to lie and say I was 14). 

What's your favourite drink?

Espresso Martini.

Dream destination?

Don't care as long as there's sun and sea.I'm from Australia but I prefer living here and keeping that for holidays.

What's the next big hair trend?

You'll start seeing more and more of the dip dye, darker colours like dark blue and also more natural, sun bleached ends.

What products do you use?

It's all about texture and mixing wet look and matt textures. I use Schwarzkopf Got2Be Volume Style Powder with Loreal Shine Wax to achieve this.

What do you like about your job?

The freedom and creativity. Every day is different.

What music are you listening to?

Rebecca Ferguson gave me her album (Bianca styles Rebecca's hair) so that's playing constantly in my car at the moment. Also love David Bowie!

Urban Culture Clash

Urban-cat-banner
Those of you who have seen our New Lookbook will see we have two main trends emerging this season - Urban Culture Clash and Springbound. Springbound embraces the pastel candy colours that are going to be big this Spring but Urban Culture Clash is a trend that draws inspiration from 90's style icons such as Kate Moss and Madonna, along style taken from the streets of L.A. - think retro denim, flashy prints and bodysuits and crops. Our new feature shows you how to wear the trend and some of our favourite urban divas strutting their stuff in this daring new, off-duty trend.

Here are some of the key pieces from the trend. Click here to view the full feature >
