MISSING SOMETHING

Wearing: Rag and Bone Metallic jumper, Charlie May tie side shirt, ASOS skirt, Topshop shoes

Now that the demolition has begun on the old Hospital I no longer have any access round the back of my building, all those brilliant brick walls will probably not be available to me for another year or so, when I'll have most likely have moved on. It's sad to wake up every morning hearing them bulldozing it down, I know it can't be saved but still I feel so attached to it. The last time I shot there was for this MyDaily How to Wear Metallics shoot, shot by Jen.

REVISITING THE ABANDONED HOSPITAL

 You may remember my trip to the abandoned hospital 6 months ago, probably my favourite blog post to date. I was lucky enough to sneak in again - model, photographer and collection in tow, to shoot my S/S12 lookbook. It feels strange unearthing this, like a magician revealing their trick. I find behind the scenes so exciting but when it's behind my scenes it feels odd indeed. The pictures above were taken on my phone when we did the reccy around the hospital and then leading up to the shoot. Rain was running down the walls inside the room when we started shooting, as you can see throughout the lookbook, the wall gets dryer and dryer (love those details). I think it was the perfect setting for the lookbook, not just because it's one of my favourite places in London but also because some of the clothes have a medical feel about them, for example the white shirt with buckle and tie sides. It was a lot of fun shooting, I hope you all like the pictures!
