V&A museum

Yesterday I went to the V&A museum - there was a friday late special - close up fashion photography. Paolo Roversi and Tim Walker had talks about their inspiration and about their work -and also there were workshops and photoshoots and etc. I met Yvan the facehunter and he took this photo of me




I came so late that I missed Roversi's talk which I'm so so sorry for because I love Paolo Roversi's photos and he's among my fave fashion photographers and Tim Walker as well!
Roversi's photos are almost like paintings, he takes most of his photos on his deardorff polaroid 8x10 format camera and I guess thats why he gets this blurry- painting-like effect :

London

Dear Friends and family
Now we've been in London for almost three weeks. These weeks have been pretty busy but at the same time we have had amazing time getting to learn our new city better.

Our apartment is located in Acton in West London, it takes about 15 minutes by train to go to London city center. (or to Oxford circus where my school is). Acton is a pretty nice neighborhood, there is a childrens school next to us and there are a lot of people with children here, and a lot of cats - so I feel very safe here! We are very happy with the apartment, it is pretty big and there is plenty of space for guests.


Elli went to Ulm, Munich and Berlin for some Steed Lord gigs in the first week which all went well. And I did my first project which was a Vanessa Beecroft inspired photoshoot which is going to be used as a background in show. Here is some preview:

We spent most of the first week in Ikea and browsing around for things for our apartment. We also worked on the showroom London Edge for INMATE the icelandic street style label that Elli has been designing for. It was pretty interesting because there were a lot of dark things there, "goths", punks etc... best explained with pictures:

Fashionweek was last week and I was taking backstage photos for Ana Sekularac which is a new designer and makes amazing clothing, which both Roisin Murphy and Victoria Beckham are fans of. Some backstage photos:

Last weekend Einar, Svala and Eddi came to us because Steed Lord were playing at the London airwaves. The show went great. I'll post some photos l8ter when I get the films developed.

I'm eager to start school (next tuesday) I feel it has been great to get these three weeks to settle down and just wander around the city which I'm loving more and more.
