Editor @ Large . . . Kaya Scodelario - Effy from Skins!

It has been an earth shatteringly exhausting week and it's only Wednesday!
With two shoots this week for Random Magazine's A/W issue and another one to prep for next week, my head is literally spinning!
We love SKINS at Random, it oozes the cool, quirky and wild vibe of the magazine and of course, Effy (Kaya) is the longest serving and sassiest cast member.
We got her to come down to join us at The Queen of Hoxton, on Curtain Road, where we shot on the amazing roof garden! Was such an amazing day for it, though poor Kaya had to model A/W cashmeres and coats, it was a truly outstanding location.

Kaya was so lovely and down to earth - proclaiming the Random shoot, the MOST fun shoot. It must be nice for Kaya to shoot with people around her own age, after all, the reason she reckons that cast works so well is that they are all close in age groups, making friendships easy and automatic.

The fashion was fabulous, we had everything from DKNY, Matthew Williamson and Zanotti shoes, even a £7000 jewel encrusted dress (the most expensive thing Kaya has ever worn apparently!)
Here is a snippet from the shoot, but you will have to buy a copy of Random Magazine in October to see the full spread and believe me, it is definitely worth it!

Roving Reporter . . . Shoot Shoot Shoot

Goodness me, it's Bank Holiday Sunday and I have been up since seven! It is now 10pm and I'm just tucking into some dinner having spent the day shooting in Dunganess.

Where, I hear you cry?! Well it's in Kent, on the coast, it's kinda full of stones and a few randomly placed little houses, so totally not London! 

While I reveled in being out in the sticks, gushing at the cute little cottages, the quaint steam train and the general beauty of the peace and quiet, Bleu-Flats was falling into full scale panic mode! Having never been too far out of Shoreditch, my little Flats was actually having an allergic reaction to our surroundings and spent most of the day in the prep B&B room, eyes watering and tissues at the ready!
We were off to shoot a knit campaign, so while the crew froze to death, on the sunny but cold day, the gorgeous models were kitted out in the most lovely cashmere coats, jumpers and skirts! Damn!
The look was New York - London, Prom Grunge. Perfect really, as London has a punk reputation, while the Big Apple is famous for its pretty, prom style.
Featured are some clips from the day! Enjoy! xx

When we saw sheep, that's when we knew we were very far away from a Starbucks!

(Our gorgeous model Ulla, pulling a face! - how cute is she!)

The models rocking the doubles shots in stunning purple! We all loved these wool coats!

(Tom doing some work, everyone now . . . 1 2 3 READY, 1 2 3 READY, 1 2 3 READY!)

(Tom working again, here with Sarah, does he ever stop?! 1 2 3 READY)

(Ulla and the mitten puppet, definitely the most hilarious model I've ever worked with, she had us all in stitches!)

TOM! WHAT ARE YOU DOING? . . . Oh, the sun is too strong to see the pics on the camera, RIGHT, UHU, YEAH WE BELIEVE YOU!

Tim sweetie, it's so not your colour!

Me in the Kenny South-Park hat, with Ulla, girls in pink!
