MAGAZINE READS: THE GENTLEWOMAN ISSUE No.5

I am going to start posting magazines with pictures of them because I read so many and also because even though everyone’s moved into digital, nothing beats a good cup of tea with a flick through a nice, well-edited, well laid out publication.

First up: The Gentlewoman.

Fashion spreads.

“The Modern Classics”

Tilda Swinton.

The incredible Sinead O’Connor.

Drawings made with Paper

Gentlewoman is bi-annual and is on stands now.

(I bought, read and photographed this magazine weeks ago so apologies for the lateness.)

#ScreenTests: A$AP Rocky by Jake Davis

I love this so much, so much detail, so simple yet it encapsulates Rocky so well. Dope.

I’ve always been interested in what makes an icon. Superstars can do pretty much anything in front of the camera and we stay intrigued. Andy Warhol’s Screen Tests are a true example of that. I’ve wanted to do a modern take on them since the success of Test Shots. So when my good friend, one of the most creative people I know, Matty Williams was photographing A$AP Rocky for Vogue Homme Japan and asked if I’d be interested in directing a collaborative film with Rocky as the subject, I thought Warhol’s Screen Tests would be a great starting point. I knew Rocky and Matty would get it and add all the right little accents. With styling from Simonez Wolf I thought we could definitely capture a pivotal moment in Rocky’s career as well as the culture.

Live. Love. A$AP…

‘Losing Life to Fear’ Suraj Samtani.

It’s often very easy to fear everything, especially failure but travelling half way around the world to study has shown me that regardless of what you want to do or want to do in life, as long as and as soon as you put the fear associated with change aside and focus on creating you can succeed. Embrace life and put fear behind you.

For the full poem head here.

The INFLUENCERS FILM looks at ‘How Trends & Creativity Become Contagious…’ and seeing how I am intrigued by this phenomena as well, I needed to post the whole documentary/online experience on here.

While business in the past was driven by efficiency, it’s creativity and innovation that will advance companies, and society in general, now.
