Bench Concept Store Launch

Bench Concept Store Launch

 

On Thursday 20th September I was very proudly invited to the Bench Concept Store Launch in Manchester's Nothern Quarter...

 

 

The new look store was buzzing with industry people as I arrived and the very first thing that caught my eye was the stunning new layout...

 

 

The store had a sort of urban, warehouse feel to it whilst at the same time creating an open and minimalist space. Amazing artwork by local artist Moot branded the walls with a modern day comic book feel and really gave the store a true 'self-made' personality. This new raw look really complimented the Bench AW '12 collection and it truly felt as though it was the rebirth of Bench!

 

However, it didn't just end there! A neon sighn reading 'Self Made' lead the way to an accessible downstairs space; something completely new to stores in Manchester today...

 

 

The once disused basement had been transformed into a buzzing space filled with people, artwork and even a bar & DJ. For me it truly was a whole new experience!

 

On tables in the centre of the room lay patterns from key pieces in the Bench AW '12 collection; a little insight into what exactly goes into creating each individual piece...

 

 

 

The idea behind creating this open space was that it would be open to the public daily; a space for Manchester creatives to use as a 'hub' to come up with new ideas and perhaps meet new people to collaborate with. With free Wi-Fi and a selection of large open tables this is the perfect place for creativity to blossom; for new undiscovered talent to be found!

...and I love it!

 

 

Don't forget to visit the store yourself at:

61-63 Church St

Northern Quarter

I'll Take You to a Place I Know...

Ill Take You to a Place I Know...

Continuing my work with Manchester reggae band (and good friends) Jeramiah Ferrari we soon went on to collaborate on a second shoot with awesome local photographer Jonathan Clover.

With the guys still undecided on what exactly they wanted for an overall 'band image' we decided to try something completely different to the last shoot... less clean cut with colour and more gritty, street inspired styling (way more up my street!) We wanted to find the perfect look to complement the new music the band were creating; and boy did I have fun playing around with the clothes!

Lead Vocals: Ryan Paul Mario Barton
Lead Guitar: Joshua Aitchinson
Bass: Hanson Pollit
Drums: Stuart Welch

Photography: Jonathan Clover
Styling: JodieRosanna

Oh, and don't forget to check out the band at www.facebook.com/jeramiahferrari, they've just recently released a new EP which is amazing!

It's All About the Music...

It's all About the Music

 

So, recently I've been very busy with my new internship at Sticks of Narnia & setting up my own clothing label Pretty in Punk... so busy in fact that I've had no time to update the blog! However, with a few spare hours this rainy Friday night I thought it about time I shared some of my recent work with you...

 

Over the past few months I've been working with my great friends (& boyfriend)  Jeramiah Ferrari in order to put together some new & fully styled promotional imagery. The experience has been both extremely enjoyable & very hard work and finally after months of anticipation I've been given permission to release the pics!

 

So for your viewing pleasure here are my very first, fully proffessional styled images...
