Russian Fashion designer Vika Gazinskayaha’s uses luxurious fabrics with clothes that have architecturally interesting silhouettes, and are often full of cheeky playful childlike qualities. Vika is wearing a pantsuit from her own collection.

This is the multi-talented stylist Gretchen Robertson. Gretchen and I worked together recently on the Brent Cross centre fashion campaign. Gretchens’ astute awareness of the shoot and understanding of the clients needs made everything work smoothly and efficiently on the days we worked together, while battling snow storms and freak weather fronts.

Recently Baber Smith advertising agency asked my to help with the rebranding of Brent Cross shopping centre. Running for nearly 40 years, Brent Cross is the UK’s first stand-alone shopping centre in the UK. With tag line ‘Styling London.’ The challenge of the brief was to shoot chic, cool, quirky looks, without resorting to high fashion, too arty, clichés or reportage lifestyle shots. While at the same time celebrating the huge range of stylish brands and stores available at Brent Cross, showing the diversity and individuality of Londoners’ style. These shots were taken for the Spring campaign and I would like to thank everyone involved for helping make this happen, Gretchen Robertson – Stylist, Joseph Koniak – Hair Celine Nonon – Make up. My assistant Paul Cox, retouching Peter Sloper design, models Lauren /Olivia and everyone at Baber Smith.
