It's So In Vogue! - Fashion, Supermodels, Models and Fashion Photography - Georgia May Jagger.

Hi!!!


I'd firstly like to apologise for what may have seemed like a miniature blogging hiatus. I've been busy and doing lots of lovely things which I can't wait to share, so have been a bit slack on the blogging front. I knew I'd be busy and considered scheduling some things, and never got round to it. Sorry if you just so happened to miss me - I really hope somebody did!
Anywho, I have another instalment in my Fashion Industry series today. Its another model based post, and I hope that you enjoy it.


I know I don't really need a disclaimer for this, but I know a lot of people have very strong opinions on the fashion industry, and in particular, on models. I think that these ideas are often a misunderstanding of the industry, and the work and dedication involved. The fashion industry is a field I would love to work in, and have a real interest in, and so if you do have strong opinions that may offend anyone, please keep them to yourself. Thank you.


Georgia May Jagger.

Little Miss Georgia May Jagger... 

I really like Georgia May Jagger. She has a very individual look, and whenever I see her work, I can tell it is her within moments.

She has a very unique look. I think an obvious main player in that is the shape of her mouth, as well as the gap in her teeth and the shape of her teeth, (maybe that amazing mouth comes from being a Jagger...). It's really special, and unique to her, and really works so well.


Georgia looks very youthful, and yet not immature. She just always looks so fresh and radiant, which is so pleasing to the eye.


When she's working, Georgia isn't afraid to try something different. Her poses are classic with her own modern twist on them.

In December 2009, she was very rightly (in my opinion) awarded a Model Of The Year Award (beating competition such as Rosie Huntington-Whitely).


Georgia featured in the London 2012 Olympic Closing Ceremony alongside models like Lily Cole (post HERE), Kate Moss and Jourdan Dunn, and is one of the faces of Rimmel London (fronting campaigns for their Stay Matte Foundation among other products).

My personal favourite shoots of hers are "Dream A Little Dream" with Vogue, alongside the shoot she did for the Chanel Pre Autumn/Winter 2010 collection look-book photographed by Karl Lagerfeld himself.


The Final Notes.


I'll leave you with her agency page - she is signed to Tess Management - (HERE).


And her Vogue pages (HERE).


Right, so that's that for today. I hope that you have enjoyed this post, everyone. It's so good to be back in the blogging seat, I miss this gig when I'm not at the computer. 
Did you like this post? What do you think of Georgia May Jagger's work? What do you like about it? Do you have any suggestions for upcoming posts? Let me know in the comments, I'd love to chat to you!
I'll see you soon for some more posts and I hope you didn't miss me too much in my absence... Hehe...

Have an utterly lovely day!

I've Been Thinking... - Things That I Love... LOTS.

Hi!!!


So, for those of you who have been living under a rock/don't celebrate it, it's Valentines Day on Friday. Now, I know that some people love it, and some people hate it but I guess you are going to have to accept it.


I personally like Valentines Day. I spend it with family and friends. To me, it is some time spent with friends, and a meal with family before one of my beloved rom-com's in my pyjamas.
I don't think people should dwell on "couple status" when it is a day based upon love and love comes in many different ways (e.g family, friends, pets, shoes, handbags, food, coffee in the morning... whatever takes your fancy).
All love should be celebrated as far as I am concerned (even if it means putting a party hat on a kitten... that made more sense in my head... I'm so sorry...).

Therefore, to show how love can mean many a different thing, I have compiled a list of some things I LOVE... LOTS.


Films I LOVE...


My favourite film of all is About Time.
I cannot even put into words how much I LOVE it. It feels like it was made just for me - it wasn't, obviously, but hey. It could not be more perfect - in my eyes. I LOVE IT!


To see more films I LOVE, head on over to my Blogger Profile.


Music I LOVE...



The artists I LOVE includes Van Morrison, Elbow, and Jake Bugg.

To see more music I LOVE, see my Blogger Profile.


If you want to talk about the songs that I LOVE, then let me know in the comments and I can chat to you there, or update the post. It's no bother, I would LOVE to.


Models I LOVE...



I LOVE models like Lily Cole, Georgia May Jagger and Kate Moss and LOVE their work and creativity.
I LOVE quite a few other models, but will discuss them in my upcoming additions to the "It's So In Vogue!" series.


Places I LOVE...


To name but a few places I LOVE - Northern Ireland, the area I live in, London, St Albans/Watford, Leamington Spa, Leeds, York, Barcelona....


I could go on about the places which I LOVE all day, but I wouldn't want to bore you. If you want to I would LOVE a conversation in the comments about it!


Blogs I LOVE...


In no particular order... A Rosie Outlook (HERE), Charlottes Web (HERE), The London Project (HERE), Little Winter (HERE), Chronicles Of The Red Herring (HERE), I Get The Feeling (HERE) and Zero Reality (HERE).


To see a few more blogs I LOVE, click on my Blogger Profile.


People I LOVE...


I LOVE my amazing family.
I LOVE my wonderful friends.
I LOVE all the people who inspire me, whether it is through music, fashion, art, books, anything, and are all round good eggs.
I LOVE all of the people who read this blog, who hopefully LOVE it and who have supported me - whether you have read from June 2013 or 5 minutes ago.


So, just a short post today. I probably could have gotten through many a category, however I think "short and sweet" was a good approach for today. I just wanted to remind people to focus on the little things that matter to them in this week of love and stuff.
What do you love? Did you enjoy this post? Let me know in the comments.
And, that, as they say is a wrap...


Have a marvellous day...

It's So In Vogue! - Fashion, Supermodels, Models, and Fashion Photography - Lily Cole

Hi!!!


I've recently been juggling writing a theatre review and a restaurant review, but today when I started up my computer, I didn't really feel like writing either, and that's OK. I did want to post something though, so I decided to create this series. I have a real interest in the Fashion Industry, and so this series seemed to make sense.




Today's instalment is about Supermodels. My idea for this is a particular person, company, or magazine at a time. So, today, we are going to have a natter about one of my favourite Supermodels...


I know I don't really need a disclaimer for this, but I know a lot of people have very strong opinions on the fashion industry, and in particular, on models. I think that these ideas are often a misunderstanding of the industry, and the work and dedication involved. The fashion industry is a field I would love to work in, and have a real interest in, and so if you do have strong opinions that may offend anyone, please keep them to yourself. Thank you.




Lily Cole.

Yes, Lily Cole. I love her so much.

 She is, probably, my favourite model ever. She is perusing other career paths and ideas at the moment, but she does still model.

 Her work is really beautiful and her knowledge of art is very clear in her work.
Her doll like features, her beautiful skin and hair and her elegant body shape, as well as her unique and stunning technique when modelling, all add to the work she creates.
Her work has real personality, and life and there is something behind her work that shows a real depth and tells such a story.

She was discovered at just 14 years old, in London.
At the age of 16, she became the youngest model to appear on the cover of (British) Vogue.
She won a British Fashion Award for Best Model, and it was well flipping deserved if you ask me.


She is very environmentally conscious and does a lot of work to support the environment. As well as this, she does a lot for the people, and does charity work.
On top of all that, Lily has her own site called "impossible.com" which is a really amazing concept. It's a social giving network (like a social network, but better), and it invites you to help others and share your skills with them, and for them to do the same for you. While she has said that she originally considered not putting her name to "impossible" - because then people associate it just with the famous name, and not with the real project. However, I think that it's good that we can all have someone to be thankful towards for the website.


I think that she is an amazing person, and we could all learn so much from her.


The Final Notes.


I will leave you with a link to Lily's work - she is signed to Storm Models.
 (HERE).


I will also leave you with a link to impossible.com - check it out.
 (HERE).


I hope that this post was enjoyable for you. It was most certainly enjoyable for me, and I hope this series can continue in a good way, and be of interest to you all. Are you familiar with Lily Cole's work? Do you like her work? What do you think about "impossible.com"? Are you a user of "impossible.com"? What do you think of her environmental and humanitarian work?

Have a lovely jubbly day!
