Had a very lazy day today. Slept till about 2pm and still had to drag myself out of my bed. My knee was hurting so stayed home from work and decided that I could spend the whole day working on my own pieces. Instead I was browsing through some images on my laptop and came across a few from some design projects I was working on before. Miss discovering the endless possiblities of material manipulation and exploration .. especially through photography. A camera is like the most beautiful thing ever invented .. so today I am making a pact with myself and my wallet to save up for my first SLR camera. :) Wonder which one though..?

Anyways .. time to eat and then attempt to thread my sewing machine for the first time ever! Laters / P. x

i want to dance on the streets of paris.

I love photographs .. They are so still and silent, yet they spark so many emotions and bring back so many memories. I was going through my laptop and found my Paris folder. Last summer my friend from Japan decided to come and visit us in London and we all planned to take a short trip to Paris .. and I fell in love with the city. It's such a remarkable place .. the architecture, the restaurants .. everything is just 10/10. It gave me a desire to move to Paris for 6 months and do absolutely nothing. Just enjoy it .. maybe pick up some of my French, eat nice food, drink nice wine. The dream is still on hold .. but maybe someday it'll come true. We'll see ..

Here are some images:







From Paris with love .. X / P.

if i could be anything in the world .. i would be a model.

I am not a shallow person (Ok that's a lie, we are all shallow to a certain extend), but today it occured to me that one of the most exciting professions on this planet is editorial modelling. Now I am not talking about joining the don't-eat-carbs-or-I-will-not-qualify-to-be-the-next-Covergirl-type of models, but being the human in fashion photography. Being admired and praised for contributing to fantastic frames that are positioned in such a delicate way to create extra-ordinary geometrical scenarios is to me extremely respectful. People flick through fashion shoots everyday but everybody don't quite understand the characteristical depth in which they have derived from and what an important role the human figure have in them.

Imagine travelling the whole world, exploring beautiful landscapes, cultures, colours, textures .. then imagine being able to be dressed in amazing costumes and be put together with all these elements to create a frame that is so thought through that it affects its observer. Light-fall, seasonal changes, life in general .. they are all elements that contribute to a sceneric shot but they are also the reason why a photo can never quite be completely re-created. The world changes all the time and a photo taken right now will therefore be unique and impossible to compare to the next. The same applies to two individuals. Like two different parts of the world, they will also never be identical. As a result of this, models are the core of a fashion photo and the foundation of a successful campaign.

For them everyday is different. They are swept away into different worlds everytime and the playfulness of their jobs never ends. I feel like I am sinning, because I envy them.

If I could be anything in the world .. I would be a model.
