Out and about....walking tomato

From Fashionistable
Amazingly I met Kieu, Tony and Tomato (their dog) 2 minutes after I had left my apartment. This is the 1st time I have literally walked out of the door and found someone cool to photograph. In fact as I write this I have just noticed that the door to the apartment can be even seen in the shot. Kieu has lived in Amsterdam for 15 years now and Tony for 10 and they have had Tomato in their lives for 3 years now. Kieu is a fashion designer. Tony told me he is a product designer - what he didn't tell me was that he was Men’s Design Director at Nike for 9 years working on the White Label or that he had worked for Maharishi before that - what he did tell me was that his work could be seen at The Non. His site is amazing and his fashion collections are astonishing I am in awe as I write this. It was so unexpected. You must go see his work - here.
So back to my interview......Tony describes his style as a quirky, not of a particular time period, but a mish mash of time periods, a melting pot of quirkiness. Kieu told me she is normally more delicate than she is dressed today, her style is usually self made clothing combined with quirky new brands and high street. Her surprise for us was that she knits a lot. Tony's was that he collects taxidermy animals.
Kieu's favourite place i Amsterdam is Jordaan and Tony's is Spui for sitting and observing.
Kieu is wearing a coat from H&M, Falke tights and DM's. Tony is wearing a Norse Project hat, a Mackintosh coat, his own design trousers and shoes by Rumours

Marieke was shopping with her boyfriend when we met. She was very shy about having her picture taken and only said yes if she didn't have to look straight at camera. I think her shyness has given us quite a strong pose. Marieke is from Amsterdam and is a student of Psychology. Her style influence comes from the fact she likes vintage shopping which she mixes with a little modern. Our surprise is that she likes cats and at the moment owns 3. From what I hear about the mice in Amsterdam (not that I have seen any myself thank goodness) it is probably not a big surprise she likes cats. Her favourite places in Amsterdam are the Jordaan district and the Noorertmarkt which is also in the Jordaan.
She is wearing a head wrap from Primark, a vintage cut off Levis and vintage scarf, cardy from H&M, T and bag from Zara and shoes from Nelly.com

Out and about....9 Straatjes

From Fashionistable
I am in Amsterdam until the end of the year. So will be interspersing my posts with shots from here too. I met Jennifer on a group of streets called 9 Straatjes (Streets), which is one of her favourite areas in the city. She is a Drama Therapist and works with kids and families. Jennifer came to Amsterdam to study from her home island of Curacao, (which was a Dutch colony) 5 years ago. Her style influence is vintage, she said she doesn't like to match things up so everyone can see where you buy your clothes. She told me that she is adventurous and likes to travel. Also that her family and friends are very important to her. Jennifer's surprise is that she can spend all day styling her hair. Here she is wearing a scarf, coat and ring from Primark, Promod denim shirt, H&M jeans, Bershka shoes and is carrying a Blanco bag.

Interviews, November 2011

Katie talks about their Thanksgiving plans!

“We’re going to be in Los Angeles and I’m not a big cook so I usually go to the flower mart in downtown Los Angeles and I make up for my lack of cooking with a good presentation,” Katie told Martha Stewart as she filmed an appearance for Tuesday’s “The Martha Stewart Show.”

 The actress, wife to Tom Cruise and mom to Suri Cruise, said she does have a meal ready too, but she’s not usually behind the preparation.
 “I make sure the fixings are there I just don’t tell how they got there,” Katie explained.

 There is one thing, however, Katie does make – pumpkin bars.
 “My mom started a tradition where she makes these amazing pumpkin bars — almost like a pumpkin cake with cream cheese frosting, but it’s not too spicy. In my family we travel so much and we’re constantly living in hotels, so my daughter and I have been in the living room of the hotel with powdered sugar going everywhere making this to keep up the tradition,” the “Jack and Jill” actress said.

The "Jack & Jill" star tells Martha Stewart in an episode of "The Martha Stewart Show" airing Tuesday, November 15th.

Fiona Orde - in London

Here is proof, if we didn't know already that when you have it you have it. No matter how much time has passed. And these 3 ladies have it by the bucketful.

Linda is the Senior Vice President, Fashion Office and Store Presentation of Bergdorf Goodman. Prior to this she was Senior Director, Visual Merchandising for Gap, Vice President, Visual Merchandising at I. Magnin, and Visual Director for Macy's New York. She is also the author of 2 books Dreams through the glass and Windows at Bergdorf Goodman. She is wearing Celine trousers and carrying a Lanvin bag.

I dont know anything about Lee other than the fact that she is very elegant. She didnt stand long for this shot and she was off. I took after her to ask her name but I cant even be sure this is right, as she threw it over her shoulder and was off again. Anyone recognise her? (I know now. Thank You for telling me.) She is Lee Radziwill - Jackie O's sister.

Fiona on the other hand is a a photographer and artist. You can see her work here and her blog here.

I first met Toni when I photographed his friend Helen back at the start of September. When I got home and checked out his website I knew I wanted to photograph him too. He is a very interesting guy. He is very creative and a great photographer. Toni's site is called Fashitects and well worth a visit.
His style influence is the Victorian era mixed with a futuristic twist. Today's look is exquisite, eccentric. Toni designed and made his trousers and scarf and customised his boots too. His jacket is from Topman and his case is vintage. Toni's favourite place in London is Oxford Street and his surprise for us is that he is the youngest of 7 children. He has 4 sisters and 2 brothers.
