These are the moments you get up at 4am for, that you live for as a stylist. When the light, the location, the look & the model are perfect & the photographer @merinodiego72 @kayteellisteam captures that moment so beautifully. When you know you’ve nailed it. This one is ✨out this week✨in @menshealthuk #mayissue 🌱 🚨#spoileralert 🚨 The genuinely delightful Mr @kamuiiumak @nextmodelslondon #styledbyme #ericdownstylist in @cerruti1881 by @jasonbasmajian @masseystyle @passavantandlee @benjlee @hanro.official @pebblelondon @tateossianlondon @hublot @russellandbromley.

Texture is key for AW. An embroidered velvet tuxedo from @emporioarmani with the iconic (and a personal favourite) foxley tassel loafer from @jimmychoo make for a luxe, elegant evening look that could be over-the-top but is surprisingly low-key. That’s the #ChristmasParty outfit sorted then. @robknighton @nextmodelslondon @menshealthuk #DecemberIssue shot by @tifhunter #styledbyme #ericdownstylist grooming @oscaralexanderl assistant & propping @86done #mensfashion #menswear #mensstyle #tuxedo #emporioarmani #tailoring #eveningwear @oliver_cooke @lorloves @victoriaamytaylor https://www.instagram.com/p/BqLARLjANQB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wfxaaawc6s5q

Am not really one for confessional posts. Load of old shit most of it. “Hey guys etc” Here’s one anyway. But Inpromise not to talk about my journey. Ugh. I love my work. I love making images. I love the process of putting shoots together, however mind blowingly frustrating that may be at times. I love being on set with a team and creating a story. I dream of creating an iconic image, that one image that ends up in someone’s book or maybe even moodboard. It’s what drives me to be better and try to do better work every time I step on set. The last few weeks have been challenging for me personally. Illness and the ongoing need to recover have forced me to take a step back from work, which I have genuinely struggled with. Both with the very difficult to handle symptoms of the illness itself (I’m on the slow mend so don’t go shopping for black suits yet) and my desire to get back to doing what I love to do. It has taught me that I have to be patient, an enforced humility that for once, I cannot override what my body is telling me and that I am, right now, subservient to it. It is a difficult lesson to learn. More difficult to put into practice. I loved this shoot. I wasn’t feeling well but the joy of being on set helped me ignore the symptoms I was feeling on the day and push through. I paid for that later. I love shooting with @tifhunter and @robknighton1 @nextmodelslondon is one of my favourite models to shoot with. He is charisma personified; every shot is brimming with character. Such a gent. As always wonderful grooming by @oscaralexanderl. Last but not least incredible production, propping and assisting work by @86done who I could not have done with shoot without. All credit to him. The shoot is in the latest Dec 18 issue of @menshealthuk with our bumper fragrance special feat @sergelutens @prada @boucheron @penhaligons_london @exnihiloparis The incredible suit is @paulsmithdesign @paulsmith The shoes are @manoloblahnikhq.

Mama told her baby girl take it real slow Girl told her momma hey I really gotta go He's waiting in the car Mama said girl you won't get far Thus are the dreams of an average Jane Ninety miles an hour down a lovers lane On a tank of dreams Oh if she could've only seen That fate's got cards that it don't want to show, and That boy's just a walkaway Joe Born to be a leaver tell you from the word go Destined to deceive her He's the wrong kind of paradise She's gonna know it in a matter of time That boy's just a walkaway Joe Now just a little while into Abilene He pulls into a station and he robs it clean She's waiting in the car, oh, underneath the Texaco star She only wanted love didn't bargain for this She can't help but love him for the way he his She's only seventeen and there ain't no reasoning So she'll ride this ride as far as it can go, 'cause That boy's just a walkaway Joe Born to be a leaver tell you from the word go Destined to deceive her He's the wrong kind of paradise She's gonna know it in a matter of time That boy's just a walkaway Joe Somewhere in a roadside motel room Alone in the silence she wakes up too soon And reaches for his arms But she'll just keep reaching on For the cold hard truth revealed what it had known That boy's just a walk away Joe Born to be a leaver tell you from the word go Destined to deceive her He's the wrong kind of paradise But it was just another lesson in life That boy was a walkaway Joe Mmm yeah, All he was was a walkaway Joe Oh, (Walkaway Joe) He was a walkaway Joe Mmm Songwriters: Greg W.

You know I love a coat & this is a coat of dreams. A thoroughly modern version of a classic great coat from @neilbarrett. Slimcut but with just enough volume in the skirt.

The Sunday outfit of dreams needs the perfect Sunday itinerary. A leisurely lie in with breakfast in bed. Followed by a stroll on beach, arm in arm with the one. A Sunday roast with all the trimmings and a pint in front of a roaring fire.
