<span style="font-size: large;">I apologise for my neglect. As promised, here is the <strike>long overdue</strike> sequence of black & white (I think </span><span style="font-size: large;">everything looks better in black and white)</span><span style="font-size: large;"> photos I took for INSTITUTE magazine. It was a feature story. Our idea was to act out different characters, or the playful aspects of myself. I spoke mostly about my acting, theatre & film projects, past and present. More on that to follow. Meanwhile please admire the beautiful and striking work of the photographer. New york based Brit Lara Jade! Enjoy!</span></div>

As I studied art in my late teens at Chelsea College of Art and as a lover of art, I gladly agreed.<br />
I also went to visit one of their hostels in Endell St Covent Garden, which was a massively enlightening experience. I met a couple of people who live in that particular hostel and benefit from the hard working team at St Mungos. One was a recovering and relapsing drug addict, another with learning difficulties and a few young women, who may have been victims of violence or abuse at a point in their lives, which has lead them to living at the hostel. I was delighted to discover their recording studio in the basement and it was amazing to see such an inspiring hub of creativity.<br />

The Affordable Art Fair took place in the centre of Battersea Park, London and all ticket sales went to St. Mungos charity. It is quite fitting as St Mungos started out over 40 years ago in Battersea Park providing rough sleepers with comfort, food and company. This time we were surrounded by gorgeous art and St. Mungos success stories.<br />

I support <a href="http://endellstreetstudio.com/" target="_blank">St Mungos</a> because I really admire their hard work. I have seen first hand the incredible and inspiring work and people who run St Mungos. <br />
I saw that it is a journey of recovery, rehabilitation and growth, with each client at the hostels. It was enlightening because it helped to change my perspective and opinions on homelessness and I think everyone should spend a day at the centres, if not volunteer.<br />

Simple things like drama, I.T, arts, literacy etc that have been readily accessible to us growing up, these things are crucial in supporting homeless people to rebuild their lives, who may not have had these opportunities.<br />
<br />
Last year over 4,000 people slept rough on the streets of London alone. Just in London.<br />

Money raised through ticket sales for this event and support throughout the fair, will enable St Mungos to help homeless people rebuild their lives and give access to vital health care services.<br />

It was a great surprise to actually win! I was up against the super talented actress Chloe Moretz, chanteuse Lana Del Rey, who I love! Model Georgia Jagger, and supermodel Aggyness Deyn. I would have picked all of them, so It was lovely to hear my name. <br />

Elle Macpherson was particularly radiant, fabulous and lovely! She looks about 20 years younger. And was so chic, graceful and nice - even more beautiful in person. She was my favourite person of the night. I now get why they call her The Body.<br />

<b>Williams draws his inspiration and his philosophical approach to design from<span style="font-size: large;"> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_number" target="_blank">The Fibonacci Theory</a></span>, where he applies the numbers in nature to his aesthetic and sees nature as the ultimate machine. He follows in the footsteps of artists such as <span style="font-size: large;">Leonardo Da Vinci</span> who used the techniques of the Fibonacci number sequence within their art. Sunny believes that these numbers are the reason why everything in the world looks so perfect and he uses the perfect Fibonacci code to design each <span style="font-size: large;">unique</span> piece in his collection. Since working with him I am starting to agree with his philosophy and <span style="font-size: large;">mathematical </span>approach to design. Now onto the <span style="font-size: large;">film</span>, stay tuned.</b></div>

The initial nervous excitement of the momentous task of being Guest of Honour, then turned to delight as I saw Marian hosting pre-dinner cocktails at the Light Bar. Arriving with wonderful musician and friend Natt Weller (debuting his a coat from his Dad Paul's capsule collection for Oasis front man, Liam Gallagher's clothing label <a href="http://www.prettygreen.com/" target="_blank">Pretty Green</a>) also had a calming effect on the fabulous evening to come!</div>

<br />
HOUSE OF EVOLUTION, VAUXHALL FASHION SCOUT:<br />
This was one of my favourite shows to do, because I have always liked
walking for multiple designers under one roof. Also you get to see the
designers grow and progress each season. The House of Evolution is a
collective of innovative and creative talent bringing you a fashion and
cultural experience through a range of contemporary designers: ROHMIR,
DAS and MATH.<br />
<br />Inbetween all the prepping for the show, I managed to quickly
interview the designers, Olga Roh of ROHMIR, Shaz of MATH, Emirati
sisters Reem and Hind Beljafla of DAS and also Amber Le Bon who was
walking exclusivly for designers DAS at House of Evolution.<br />
<br />ROHMIR:<br /><b>Where are you from?</b><br />Germany, Switzerland and Russia - but I belong to the world. Hong Kong is my home right now.<br /><b>What's your inspiration for this season?</b><br />Exotic
gardens and rain. Rain in Paris, water and the lives women lead are a
source of inspiration, the fact that women tend to live more
intensely...<br />
<b>What is your background?</b><br />I studied psychology, so a lot of my
ideas are based around it. The cleansing element of water, about what is
going on inside, cleansing of our emotions. The fabrics I choose are
very personal, the choices based on how I'm feeling at that moment.<br />
<b>Where are your fabrics made?</b><br />I have a factory that I set up
from scratch, with 102 workers. My fabrics are from the same supplier as
Chanel. I am the engineer and Rohmir is the machine. It's also about
the people behind the scenes.<br />
<b>Where do you get your ideas and inspiration from in general?</b><br />Most
of my inspiration for next season is from London. I love London. My
favourite quote is from Picasso: "I dream about my paintings and I paint
about my dreams" I just swap the word paintings with style!<br />

<br /><u>MATH:</u><br /><b>Any gossip?</b><br />This is my first LFW show and I
experienced first hand the bitchiness that can happen behind the scenes
while designing and preparing for my show . But also I've enjoyed the
energy and buzz of it all.<br />
<b>What other shows will you see?</b><br />The menswear shows on the last day, since I'm a man!<br /><b>What's your highlight so far of the whole process?</b><br />The
fact that I have a platform to showcase my designs. I am so happy to
have the support of Vauxhall Fashion Scout. Also writer and journalist
Camilla Morton has been a massive supporter.<br />
<b>Any disasters?</b><br />Last minute sewing and alterations the night before the show.<br /><b>What's your inspiration?</b><br />London.
As I was born and bred here. I design for the modern British woman.
With elements of tradition, but still very modern and fresh. A British
woman with refined elegance - it's about the quality, cut and bringing
women an element luxury.<br />

DJ Josh LeCash and I decided to pair up and tag team, in the 104 Degree heatwave which hit
California that week. As you will see in some pictures below I look as
if I am melting. Nevertheless it is for charity and a super worthy
cause. To help provide musical instruments in education, help inspire
and teach children about music. <br />

I get my best inspiration whilst walking around, auditioning & shooting. This is where the iPhone wins, Blackberry don't get too comfortable !<br /> I know I am quite behind, I really should have been born in the 1920s or something...<br /><br />Oh well, here for your blogging pleasure & general enhanced blogging enjoyment, curtesy of BlogPress - my Cannes Film Festival picture diary.<br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=11/06/05/1339.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/11/06/05/s_1339.jpg' border='0' width='310' height='410' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br />The first night I had a brief meeting on arrival in Cannes (on 2 hours sleep, from a week if back to back shoots & a very early flight!!)<br /><br />- That evening I attended the Haiti Charity benefit hosted by Replay jeans. Jamiroqua performed on stage for 2 hours, in the ball room of the Martinez Hotel on the Croisette. In the VIP section I was sat next to Janet Jackson !!! Which was probably the highlight of the festival for me!<br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=11/06/05/1340.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/11/06/05/s_1340.jpg' border='0' width='410' height='510' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br />I wore this lovely Armani cocktail dress. I had no time for the fitting for a Replay dress and felt very guilty indeed!! (I have to say a big. Thank You to Valentina of Replay)<br /><br />The pool behind me is what I found in the basement of the villa in the hills where Leonardo DiCaprio hosted his after party. The villa owned by one of the Facebook founders natch! <br /><br />My lips are sealed, but this was one of the best nights I've ever had (smiley face!!)<br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=11/06/05/1341.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/11/06/05/s_1341.jpg' border='0' width='400' height='400' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br />I found myself one lunch time eating and hanging out with my friends of Jalouse club Freddie Achom, Alex Lambrecht (pictured above) Who hosted Naomi Campbell's party the previous week. <br />Immediately after this picture was taken these two were sprayed with champagne by a bunch of Swedish millionaire boys, trying show some swagger, I think..?<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=11/06/05/1342.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/11/06/05/s_1342.jpg' border='0' width='400' height='400' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br />I stayed away from the champagne spraying and checked out the coastline instead. There was a swimsuit photo shoot going on behind us.<br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=11/06/05/1344.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/11/06/05/s_1344.jpg' border='0' width='400' height='400' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br />I attended the premiere of Sean Penn's Cannes debut called This Must Be The Place. I heard his performance is his most quirky to date. Unfortunately I missed it !! But I met the cast at the after party, which included Bono's daughter & other guests such as my favourite party girl Courtney Love, Antonio Banderas with Melanie Griffiths, Harvey Weinstein, Gwen Stefani.... <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=11/06/05/1345.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/11/06/05/s_1345.jpg' border='0' width='310' height='414' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br />These two were part of the scenery at the Jalouse club beach party !!<br />Amazeballs !!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=11/06/05/1347.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/11/06/05/s_1347.jpg' border='0' width='310' height='414' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br />- Posted using BlogPress from <br />my iPhone<br /><br /><br />Tolulahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08068766101860233678noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2169314321639516545.post-12767911324732093682011-05-26T16:30:00.000+01:002011-05-26T16:30:08.270+01:00My Week of shoots: Behind The Scenes!From my week of back to back shoots - I present a short behind the scenes sneak peek !<br />

We used head pieces from Philip Treacy for most of the looks.<br />
<br />
I will be posting more on <b>My Week Of Shoots</b>.<br />

Meanwhile take a look at the below and let me know what<br />

<br />
I attended the Copenhagen Film Festival in April. It was my first time in the beautiful city and I fell in love... with it! Everything is beautiful about the city, including the people. The prices aren't so pretty, but the city made up for it with well behaved motorists and cyclists and a wonderful selection of films at the festival. I cycled the whole city. I also had a chance to catch quite a few indie films at the Grand Teatret (Theatre) in the centre of Copenhagen.<br />

<br />
As there is Royal Wedding fever <strike>overkill </strike>everywhere right now. I thought I'd introduce you to<br />
an individual who was a source of inspiration to me in my teens when I was singing in various bands.<br />
I wish I had told you about her when she was alive. I was upset to hear about the death of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poly_Styrene">Poly Styrene</a>,<br />
one of the first British punk pioneers. Born Marianne Joan Elliot-Said,<br />
to an Scottish-Irish mother and<br />
dispossessed Somali aristocratic father, ran away from home aged 15.<br />
On her 18th birthday, she witnessed one of the first gigs of the <a href="http://www.sexpistolsofficial.com/">Sex Pistols</a>,<br />
where she was inspired to start her own punk band X-Ray Spex - Poly Styrene was born. <br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mrscroobs/1355627903/" title="Poly Styrene by MrScroobs, on Flickr"><img alt="Poly Styrene" height="500" src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1209/1355627903_1b19fb1fe1.jpg" width="349" /></a><br />
<br />
I was introduced to the world of X-Ray Spex after attending an anniversary gig<br />
for punk music at the 100 Club at Tottenham Court road, with many punk legends<br />
in attendance. I became friends with Bruno Wizard, who was a good friend, fellow<br />
punk and collaborator of Poly Styrene, fronting his own ironic punk band<br />
The Homosexuals during the heyday.<br />
We spent many an afternoon in cafes in Soho, seeing bands he manages,<br />
with Bruno regaling me with his many adventures with Poly. He gave me a limited<br />
edition album of X-Ray Spex<br />
with it's special art cover. Once I heard the words: <b><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> " Some people think little girls </span></b><br />
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">should be</span> seen and not heard, but I think oh bondage up yours!"</b></div>I was hooked and obsessed about the band for a long time. I may often to start a DJ set with this<br />
particular song, with Poly's nonchalant but menacing intro.<br />

<br />
The landmark X-Ray Spex<br />
album Germ Free Adolescents<br />
was a primary influence on<br />
Britpop and Riot Grrrl.<br />
Their influence has been<br />
felt the world over. I was caught by<br />
the combination of her distinctive voice, intelligent, political, humanitarian lyrics<br />
(tackling poverty, racism amongst others) paired with her stylish rebellious attitude<br />
and soaring saxophone behind most of their tracks. She made history as a bi-racial feminist<br />
punk who put her own stamp on the movement. Poly was customising before<br />
it was considered cool. Instead of the ready made expensive Seditionary style,<br />

It is a brand new perfect LRL (Little Red Lipstick). As I discovered it suits many different skint tones and pouts, with celeb hairstylist and Kate's BFF James Brown, Henry Holland, Holly Valance, Lisa Butcher and others were also fronting this campaign and Pouting for <strike>The Prince</strike> Charity. The Prince's Trust enlisted the help of celebrity make-up artist Karen Adler, who counts Anna Friel as one of her clients and besties</span> (who I thought on the shoot could be her twin sister!)<br />
