When I was asked to shoot the series for H&M magazine, I almost panicked, fearing I won’t be able to get many stylish people on the streets of Sydney, at least not to the standard of say The Sartorialist and Facehunter. So in my panic, I asked Emma whom I’ve photographed once before, if she would like to put together an outfit for me. She did not disappoint me, I love her sense of style and the way she puts a whole bunch of things together and it just works! Shame these photos won’t grace the pages of H&M mag. Oh well, at least I get to share them with everyone now.
Name: Emma
Job: Vintage and retro fashion seller

Love the grapes, love the outfit and I just love the crazy spaces at Hibernian House. Thank you Emma!

Sorry – but I think the outfit isn’t good at all. It’s almost saying to me that “I’m trying to be really ironic with the grapes”, but I think she just missed the point.
Not aesthetically appeasing at all. Or perhaps that is the point?

I really don’t think Emma wanted to make a point with her outfit, this is how she likes to dress, that’s all. What makes a good outfit depends on personal opinion anyway. What I like about this outfit is the proportions, the short skirt, that is very now. The way she’s worn a shirt over one shoulder, the boots reflect the now mainstream trend of ankle boots but with a vintage twist. The torn stockings and gloves are very Emma, since she loves everything 80s. The grapes are a quirky personal touch, it’s unexpected and that’s why I like it.
