Helmut Lang Pre-Fall 2014

Nicole and Michael Colovos have created a collection that is layer on layer Helmut Lang. Signature pieces with a new element of destruction all layered in an asymmetric fashion to create yet another great collection. 

Despite it being frightfully cold in New York at the collection's preview, it is rather clear that this collection was not created in the harsh temperatures of winter but amidst a New York heat wave seeing daisy dukes, teenie bra tops and knitted tanks scattered throughout.

Layering is the key element to the story with light, soft luxe fabrics used to create multiple hems all cut at different angles exposing the unique architectural monochrome print which is used throughout to complement the black, white and navy collection.

Crisp which crepes, cut on the bias model-jerseys and super soft leathers. 

Say hello to my absolute favourite piece, the leather bomber. 

Gosh just look that that beauty.

Although a very Helmut Lang collection, sticking to their signature oversized tailored silhouette, the layering aspect of the collection certainly brings in something new and will undoubtedly make this pre-fall 2014 just as covetable as ever.

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...
