Last year I was asked to submit some projects, model and style some shoots for my sister's book about recycling and how it can be used in a fashion sense. The project evolved to showcase creative ideas from both the U.K and America. The wonderfully talented David Anderson collaborated with Fraser Morgan to produce exquisite photographs, the lovely Anna Chapman was responsible for the overall design and layout of the book and Kate MacKay not only let her pen illustrate the book throughout but created short mythical stories to go along with the projects.
The book is now finally available for purchase on Amazon, and has been getting positive feedback. My projects include how to make a dress out of old bedsheets, making skirts out of curtains which my dear friend lovingly coined "skirtains", and a flapper dress out of an over sized vest and curtain tassels. I was really pleased with the way my shoots turned out, wanting to channel a 60's vibe for my projects my amazing make up artist friend, Sarah Spears, was at hand to instantly transform Kate and I into swinging 60's gals. It's so great to see it finally in print after all the long hours and non stop hard work everyone put in to make it happen.
Please note that the publishers made an original typo error and this has not been rectified on amazon, they wrongly credit Di Jennings for the photography. All credit is due to David Anderson.
