London Fashion Week AW 2012...Camille

Camille from Over The Rainbow blog, Somerset House, London, February 2012.

Love Camille's style (she is half French/half English) and I am especially coveting that baseball cap (and the Celine bag, of course!). Before fashion month (and photographing Talissa in Australia last November), my response to wearing a baseball cap other than for sporting activities or for sun-protection purposes would have been, um, really? Are you sure?! Which is clearly one (of the many) reasons why I am a photographer and not a fashion editor ;) I have owned many a baseball cap over the years ranging from Polo Ralph Lauren to a Sydney Swans AFL supporters cap and a most-flattering fluro yellow Sydney Harbour Bridge 75th Anniversary cap circa 2007 however none have had quite the desirability factor that Camille's cap imparts.

Recreate Camille's look (kind of):

My Lovely Jean painter skinny jean (add your own strategically placed rips) or Helmut Lang metallic mid-rise jeans (with metallic foil swooshes) or J Brand Zoey triple zip skinny jeans

Bird by Juicy Couture slate grey sweater or ASOS grey double-layer t-shirt or T by Alexander Wang classic muscle tee 

Christian Louboutin Sixties black pumps (love the low cut side) or Gucci patent leather pumps

And hit it out of the ballpark in a baseball cap: Juicy Couture black cap, House of Holland baseball cap or Topshop acid wash cap

Paris Fashion Week SS 2012...Ondine

Stylist Ondine Azoulay, after Sonia Rykiel, Paris October 2011.

At the risk of repeating myself, I LOVE Ondine's style. And this denim skirt/button-up shirt and ankle boot combination is no exception
