Backstage at Aquascutum - London Fashion Week: Fall 2012

Aquascutum was my 2nd backstage at LFW this season and so I'm told the inspiration behind the make up was 'Little Kitten Eyes'. It's easy to see the idea.  Usually this would have been a behind the scenes opportunity at Jaeger London but Jaeger took a break this season. It was great to capture some beauty head shots and also some candids. I felt Bette Franke was one of the models that pulled off the Kitten Eyes the best. The hair was gelled just at the sides to give a sort of rock chick look, it's a style that has inspired my first studio shoot of 2012 in a couple of weeks.

These shots were also using the same camera set up as Derek Lam and Paul Smith, a Canon 5D Mark II and a 24 - 70mm L f/2.8 with a Mini Softbox LTP.
