HUNGER LAUNCH

Last wednesday I had the pleasure of not only attending the launch party of new magazine HUNGER, but I was also thrilled to dress the lovely Erin O'Connor, who features in the new issue, for the event.

HUNGER, brainchild of Another and Dazed and Confused's very own Rankin, is a new biannual magazine set to explore and celebrate the inner drive amongst us. This magazine provides a fresh, exciting platform for creatively minded people and is jammed packed with great features / interviews and fashion stories for £4!! The 1st issue has a cover option of Rhys Ifans or Sky Ferreira, with content inside ranging from the legendary Leonora Carrington, Milla Jovovich, to Scott Campbell, Erin O'Connor and the Winstone's family portrait! Whats more HUNGER TV launched alongside the magazine so go and check it out their fashion films and up to date news!

Me and Erin. Erin wears headpiece by Zoe Sherwood, dress by Craig Lawrence.
I wear blue glitter cherries by Piers Atkinson, dress by Dr Noki, vintage jacket with Fred Butler SS12 badge, made by PINS LDN. Thanks to Kennaland for hair and Martina Luisetti for MU.

AN EXCERPT FROM 'MATHAIR' by KATHRYN FERGUSON

Kathryn Ferguson is an extremely talented young film maker, based in London. Kathryn and I have always appreciated eachother's work from afar, growing increasingly more enthusiastic to work together. When Kathryn contacted me and asked if I would style her final RCA graduate film this year, I jumped at the chance to be involved. I love Kathryn's infectious energy and wild ideas. This film was a very personal project for Kathryn, revisiting religion and cultural rituals of her Irish childhood. Kathryn introduced me to Trine Hav Christensen, also a student at the RCA, completing her MA in Fashion Design. Trine worked closely with us making all the costumes for the film, while set designer, Helen Macintyre, built the most amazing religious scenes. Our film was nominated for Diane Pernet's prestigious ASVOFF 4, recently in Paris and has just gone live on TEST. Please see the film below and visit TEST for more imagery and profile interviews.
