Exalt Fashion Launch

 

Sooo, on Friday the 28th of June I rushed straight from work & jumped on the

first train down to London town.

 

That night I went to the Exalt Fashion Magazine launch party in Clerkenwell Green

held in a contemporary little art gallery. Greeted at the door by the guest list checks, I was soon welcomed inside with Champagne and raspberries..

 

After meeting, greeting and socially mingling over champagne gossip, I 

finally picked up my own personal copy of the magazine which I could not put down.

The Magazine not only looks impressive, it also holds an unexpected design element that makes Exalt stands out from all other magazines on the shelves with the originality of reverse male and female sections.

On one half of the magazine you'll find a female front cover, inside delivering all the ins and outs of female fashion - On the reverse is the male cover followed by male aspects to fashion and grooming; A magazine branching out to the entire Fashion Community of both sexes.

Not only was I brimming with excitement to see my three articles in Issue One, but I was even more 

intrigued to see the content inside the magazine and I can guarantee you, Exalt did not disappoint.

Front to back the magazine covers explosive detailed information of behind the scenes articles, photography shoots and interviews with fashion designers and corporations that give fashion lovers an insightful perspective to 'behind the scenes' roles and expectations within the industry - an aspect of Fashion that is rarely revealed.

 

Emma Breden, Exalt magazine's Editor in Chief has managed to use her previous styling career experiences to create a magazine filled with fashion knowledge while exposing the industries secrets that many starting off in the business crave to discover but rarely succeed.
 

I am not surprised by the popularity and demand for the magazine already. Not only is Exalt being stocked in prestigious Fashion stores like Selfridges but the magazine will also launch and sell in Paris, Milan and New York. I feel honoured to have been given the opportunity to play a small part of contributing to such an exciting magazine that gives a new perspective to fashion and  all its components. I hope to have future collaborations with the magazine that I know will become one of the 'must reads' on the Fashion shelf and I'd like to thank them for the amazing opportunity.

Sleek Sheek Structure

 

 

Next on my Summer wish list is a must-have item that needs to be added to my wardrobe wonders..

The elongated sleeveless jacket.

 It's sleek, sheek & nothing short of fabulous.
Gimme, gimme, gimme.

 

Pictured here both in black and white sold online by 'Never Fully Dressed' Boutique (also featured on ASOS Marketplace) the structured jacket perfectly styles all shapes and sizes making it the perfect statement piece to effortlessly complete any outfit.

 

While waiting to get one these essential pieces I've been

sketching some Fashion Styling idea's I think these Jackets would look great with.

London Love.

Sorry I haven't been blogging as regular as usual, I've been a busy girl

visiting London for some amazing career opportunities.

 

I have family in London so I'm in the city quite regularly anyway but I can never get

enough every time I go. Any girl who loves Fashion & is visiting the city gets that exciting feeling of being London's very own Carrie Bradshaw; spending all day hopping on & off trains on the underground, sipping an expensive cocktail, falling in love in Liberties and hearing Big Ben tock - there's no better place.

 

Give me a year & hopefully I'll make the big move..

#FingersCrossed

 

For now.. Here's a few LDN pictures from some of my visits over the past month

 

 

See you very soon LDN-Town

An interview with Kirsty Ward

Vogue has named her as one their "Designers to watch" Elle.co.uk has listed

her as their "Rising Star of 2011," she also worked for Alberta Ferritti in Italy and even Selfridges showcased her first season's collection in store for the "Bright young things" initiative; And the name behind such exciting success?
Jewellery and Womenswear designer Kirsty Ward.

  

I interviewed Kirsty Ward at her artistic studio in Camden, London on the 6th March 2013 with fellow photographer Lyndon March for an article for Exalt Fashion Magazine.

Kirsty Ward's Jewellery envisages a bold, contemporary and almost futuristic approach to decorative jewellery which has become the signature mark for her brand. By re-inventing the use of coloured aluminium, Kirsty has managed to touch upon the tribal tendencies that exist within the exposure of structured symmetry.
The collection has not had to rely upon an outer source for production, instead the pieces are all cut and hand made within the studio itself which allows Kirsty to create up to 250-350 pieces per season.

Kirsty Ward's womenswear collection presents a modern and sleek representation of the simplicity of fashion. The use of soft, neutral colours are complimented by the structured asymmetric shapes of the garments. The design simplicity of Kirsty Ward's womenswear allows the clothing to become an elegant backdrop for the embellished jewellery to model upon.

 

       

 

 

The success Kirsty Ward has achieved in such a short period of time from establishing

 her brand in 2o11 to the ever-growing success she is achieving today - has been nothing more than deserved. The most desirable aspect of the Kirsty Ward brand is the desire to

beautify something unappealing. By using the metallic materials that she has and seeing the influence of washer-women aprons from her apron shaped garments, it seems evident the talent Kirsty Ward has to beautify almost anything which has resulted in captivating the fashion world.

 

Below are my own personal photographs;

 

 

A special thanks to Designer Kirsty Ward for her time

 

Also, a big thanks to the Photographer Lyndon March who's Photography will be featured in the published magazine article.

 

And, finally a big thank you again to Exalt Magazine for the amazing opportunity.

 

The article of the Interview with Kirsty Ward will be published soon inside Exalt Fashion Magazine.
