This month I like my latex… Harnessy!

As you all know I’m quite into latex fashion so I’ve decided to add a new, monthly feature that highlights what kind of latex I’m currently into.

At the moment I love harness details and I’ve been working on getting clearer product pictures of the harness style items I’ve already created for Eustratia.

Here are my top picks:

harness thingsAs a special treat, I’ve also decided to keep the sale on till Sunday to give everyone who gets paid on Friday an extra change at a bargain.

The featured products can be found here , here,here and here.

#MCRFW 14: The show

This season, I was delighted to be invited to showcase my collection at Manchester fashion week.

I was part of the “We are Manchester” showcase on the Saturday and presented my spring/summer collection, which can be viewed here.

My friends from Vauhaus came to help out and also co-hosted the aftershow party, which I will write about in my next post.

I walked on at the end to take my bow, something that was a first for me as most of my shows don’t take this format.

Eustratia Spring/Summer ’14

The Eustratia S/S “14 Collection is finally complete and I’m really pleased with it. It will be making its catwalk debut at Manchester fashion week on Saturday and the products will be added to the online store over the next few days.

The collection consists of 8 outfits, in varying levels of wearability and extravagance, but with a consistent embodiment of the essence of Spring.

Andrew Farrington for Practical photography magazine.

A few weeks ago I worked on a shoot with Andrew Farrington and a great team. We shot in an ornately decorated room of a quirky museum and next to taxidermy and suits of armour.

Andrew was interviewed for practical photography magazine and part of the shoot was featured alongside his interview on the “learn photography now” disc that accompanies the magazine.
