Lillesden House

Lillesden House

Earlier in the week i took part in an amazing photo shoot as a Creative Director and i cannot go any longer with out sharing this information with you and offering you a sneaky peaky insight into it.

The photo shoot was a reshoot of an old collection for up and coming Fashion Designer Lucy Lee. The collection was her first six piece graduate collection from the first part of her degree, inspired by the subculture of Steam Punk. The shoot team consisted of all young and incredible talent including Photographer, Model, and Designer.

The shoot took place at Lillesden House, historical, derelict and outstanding in beauty of both architecture and of the grounds. Once an all girls boarding school this magnificent and clearly once luxurious piece of architecture creates it's own presence and aura hailing from its unfortunate past. Offering a mysteriously eery and entrancing atmosphere it is no wonder this location was chosen for the shoot and it is obvious as to why it compliments Lee's collection so perfectly. The deconstructed nature of this saddened building, crumbling in plain sight- juxtaposed against the heavily structured garments but drawing parallels from the heavily gothic architecture to the Steam Punk subculture; as well as the grandeur and commanding disposition of the garments in relation to Lilesden House.

I didn't manage to get many behind the scene shots as the day was run on a tight schedule and was extremely busy but here is what i can show you:

Please stay tuned for more updates on the shoot from behind the scene photographs, the final edit and future collaboration with Lucy Lee!
