MODEL BEHAVIOUR!

She has style, she has grace, Kamara Harding gives good face!

Its a bit ironic that we are only just doing a model piece for Kamara, our main BOAW girl. We have been working together for the best part of a year and we're still going strong. Juggling a career in transcribing as well as catwalk and hair and beauty modelling, Kamara still finds time to fit in regular and impromptu BOAW shoots when we need her in between jetting off to Cannes or Barcelona!

Always up for a bit of a giggle, she's playful yet classy, one of our all time fave BOAW girls!

Sun Worshipper!

Last monday we took advantage of the sneaky bit of sunshine and decided to pull together an impromptu story with BOAW girl Kamara. We based ourselves by the studio and shot in and around Broadway Market the whole day! 
Starting off in London Fields play park, we got playful and captured some fun on the swings and monkey bars in a few sporty outfits, we paraded down broadway market stopping off at a couple of cafes as well as the grocers and laundrette, snapping Kamara in a few amazing day dresses and we then finished at the canal with a few pastel looks and summer accessories whilst munching cones of fish and chips. It was a fun day indeed!

MODEL BEHAVIOR

We know how much we love having a sneak peek behind the scenes of fashion shoots of our favourite brands, admiring the fashion just as much as the models showing them off. Considering this we decided we'd give the lovely gals that play dress up with us a proper introduction to you BOAW fans! 

Starting with Nicolette Iles our fabulous bleach blonde model for our 90s inspired Look-book shoot 'Give Me Shelter'. The 17 year old, budding fashion photographer who you'll definitely be seeing a lot more of in the future was a natural on the shoot! A true 90s kid by birth and heart! We heart you Nicolette!

You can check out some of Nicolettes great talent at her website, Flickr, and blog!

GIVE ME SHELTER

Hey Guys,


So you had a flavour of what our next shoot would be all about and after a long wait, here it finally is.
We had a great day shooting at the photographer Cochi's house where we set up in the kitchen and transformed the place into a Bird on a Wire dressing room, with make-up being done by Maddy Fearn in one corner and set design happening in the other.
The day started with beautiful sunshine which got us all excited and the rain held off so we could grab some moments in the sun with lovely outcomes of all three girls.
We had the amazing models, Nicolette, Kamara and Sophie splashing in the bath tub, eating jammy dodgers, jumping on the bed and skipping over puddles. Got some gorgeous shots inside and outside, avoiding the rain and using it in our favour.
The mood we have portrayed for our lookbook is girlfriends hanging out on a typical British day, having fun come rain or shine. The natural lighting we got coming through the windows has added a nice warm, romantic element.


So here is what you've all been waiting for, don't forget to vote.


Oh, and we had fun playing around with i-photo and made a montage for Youtube.

Plus some more which we wanted to show you, equally as beautiful but didn't make it into the final edit.

TRUE ROMANCE

Taking queue from the queen of get-away girl style- Alabama, played by Patricia Arquette in one of the best action-romance flicks ever made! If you haven't seen this Quentin Tarrentino cult hit stream it this evening and thank us later.

In short, the story follows comic book nerd Clarence (Christian Slater!), who meets hooker with a heart of gold Alabama (Patricia Arquette) and they fall madly in love while getting caught up in some major Bonnie and Clyde-style drama. After Clarence kills her pimp, played by Gary Oldman in white people dreads, they embark on a road trip to LA with a suitcase of stolen cocaine. Soon after, the star-crossed lovers are chased by both the feds and the mob, but are so hot for each other they basically remain in make-out mode in between all the gunshot fire! 

Our True Romance Shoot was Inspired by Alabama's kick-ass fearless attitude to style! Pairing gold Elvis shades and pink leopard print skinnies can only be pulled off by this style queen!
