  1. I love this shoot so much! You must have had such a good time, it looks so much fun and the photography and modelling are fab.

    Just have to say... Stephanie, you have some of the most beautiful clothes I have ever seen (I'm presuming these are yours!). Especially the New York Floral and the London Romantic, gorgeous.

  2. Hey, been following the blog, I subscribed to LSE Fashion soc too.

    Could you elaborate on the idea behind the shooting? The term "parallel" alone doesn't say a lot. I can sense the coherence in styling and the selection of each garments but as a whole, the picture somewhat couldn't get that feeling across, at least to me. It kinda stuck on my mind. Sorry to be a bitch, I genuinely think you guys did a great job and am still learning!

  3. Hey T (:

    Well the concept was Stephanie's, but basically the idea was to style look-equivalents in each city. Each look had a corresponding piece in the other city, hence "parallels". Same girl, but different city, different colouring, different dress and different mood. Hope that helps!

    xoxo
