Last Day









It's over. Today was officially the last university lecture I will ever have. Like ever. I have been looking forward to this day for goodness knows how long, so I could at last be done with education and start making my mark on this big ol' fashion world, but now that it has come around I am actually really sad. University has been the most amazing experience for me and obviously there has been all the highs and the lows, but what really has made it an experience of a lifetime are all the amazing friends I have made. I know that sounds like such a cliche "guys you've made this experience, like, totes amaze". But seriously, I'm going to miss seeing all of them every week in our usual stressed out yet extremely stylish state. Suppose it's not all bad, when we're all off living in LA, New York, Paris, Sydney & Dubai, we have the perfect excuse for a cheeky vacation. Naturally, I had to shoot this with the University's iconic red brick walls of the Clothworker's building as my backdrop and have fellow fashion student, Jess, taking the snaps. It just wouldn't have seemed right any other way. On another note, I haven't seen the back of this place quite yet, with an obscene amount of work to complete in just over two weeks, graduate shows, design catalogues, portfolios, it seems as though I'll be donning the title of 'Fashion Student' for quite a while longer and long may it last.

Before I forget, I need to tell you all about my gorgeous new bracelet by Eleonor de Casanovas from Lewis Andrews. If you follow me on Instagram (@georgiabenj) you would have already got a sneak peak, but I am literally obsessed with it! If you're thinking of jet-setting off to the Algarve this summer then you all need to head over to the no. 1 store in Portugal's, Almancil. Lewis Andrews is the go-to lifestyle store stocking some of the cutest brands and Eleonor de Casanovas jewellery is just one of them, be sure to check them out on Facebook (click here) for the most up-to-date info on all the latest products to hit the store. 


Behind The Lens

My laptop had a slight rest yesterday and rather than adding to the ever increasing egotistical photos folders of myself, I switched roles and turned photographer/art director to shoot the trio of on campus looks with my lovely friend Lucy. Here's a sneaky peek of all the goings on behind the scenes, via my favourite social media feed instagram (follow me here @georgiabenj)










Three gorgeous friends/models, one studio, and a whole lot of grey architecture later we completed 3 shoots in 3 hours with better outcomes then we ever though possible. Cat looked all legs eleven in her jail cell/strung out model inspired set, Anita oozed all things neon disco in her head to toe sequins (I seriously own more sequined items them a Vegas showgirl) and Jess was absolutely repping the double denim. Such a pleasure working with everyone and thanks to my amazing group for working so well together to produce such a great images, cannot wait for the final shoot set in London's Brick Lane now. Maybe I'll just have to spend a lot more time behind the lens...

Anna Sui Internship

collegefashion.net
I have just finished my 3 month internship at Anna Sui, and what a whirlwind of a 3 months it has been. Working in New York’s fashion district has it’s ups and down, and despite the dirty streets and an obscenely hectic schedule, I wouldn’t have changed a thing.








Lunching in Bryant Park

Fashion interns are often confused as slaves...

"Get this thing from that shop I like. Find that piece of paper that I had in my hand the other day. Go and get 5 no foam skimmed lattees with extra shots.”


As well as many other nonsensical and impossible tasks. And of course all completely for free. However at the end of your internship at Anna Sui you get rewarded for your hard work with a clothing allowance. With a bit of sweet talking and eyelash fluttering I managed to wangle myself 3 items from their current Spring/Summer 2012 collection.
