Say hello to Holgarazzi

Self proclaimed 'light hunter' Nina Westervelt is a Brooklyn-based photographer with a holga permanently attached to her hip. Her fashion snaps span the catwalk, backstage and front row; the great and good of Bryant Park are captured in all their finery by this Holgarazzi. A welcome respite from the usual straight-ups, Westervelt's photography is artfully composed and never looks too posed. Her flickr site has a dedicated following thanks to Westervelt's candid celebrity shots, and her beautifully dreamy catwalk snaps are often more aesthetically pleasing than the clothes themselves. Her fashion blog, Chic Squared2, is currently sporting a teaser of Westervelt's Fall 2010 photography...visit now to catch a glimpse of what's to come.

Tales of the Unexpected

December's Vogue features a dreamy, whimsical fashion spread based on the works of children's author Roald Dahl (which include Tales of the Unexpected, the title of the photo story).

Shot by Tim Walker, it is a beautifully composed tribute to Dahl's most loved characters and has more than a little of the Bjork about it. Featuring the elfin beauty of Karen Elson, Helena Bonham Carter, Imelda Staunton and Jamie Bell, amongst others, it certainly beats morose models dressed in black. Enjoy.

Exactitudes: a contraction of exact and attitude.

Currently exhibiting in Selfridges, in collaboration with The Photographers’ Gallery, is photographer Ari Versluis and stylist Ellie Uyttenbroek's fantastic Exactitdes. Their ongoing project consists of images that alude to our desire to both conform and rebel when choosing what to wear; resulting in a fascinating, and often humorous, insight into self-expression, identity, and fashion.


Since the exhibition opened on 26 February, Ari and Ellie have been recruiting on the streets of London to add to their collection of fashion 'types' found so far on the streets of Rotterdam, New York, Bordeaux and Rio Janiero, among others. The third revised edition of 'Exactitudes' was published last year and A and E's photographs have appeared in L'Uomo Vogue, i-D, Blvd., The Sunday Times style supplement and New York Magazine to name but a few.



A large selection of their images are available to view at www.exactitudes.com- get yourself down to Selfridges now and you might just be next!
