Atlantis ~ Vegan shoes by Olsenhaus

January 23, 2013 by turquoiseavalon

I discovered New York-based Olsenhaus when searching for stylish vegan shoes in LA a couple of years ago. They really stood out in terms of style and quality, and the more I discovered about the company the more hooked – ok, obsessed – I became. Even now, ethical practice within the shoe industry at large is basically unheard of, and Elizabeth Olsen is doing what she can to change that. Environmental and welfare concerns aside, I never get so many comments on any shoes […]

Dr Hauschka lipsticks & the three step face

December 23, 2012 by turquoiseavalon

We shot this campaign on a heavenly spring day in the idyllic surrounds of Neilsen Park. It was incredibly meaningful for me to be able to do a campaign for Dr Hauschka, an amazing skincare company on so many levels and one that I had been passionate about for a long time.

State of Pleasure / Mrs Robinson..

August 26, 2012 by turquoiseavalon

Pleasure State do some beautiful lingerie and were nice enough to give us some pieces, for a super fun series of pics in the style of ‘The Graduate’. Thanks for the inspiration, Anne Bancroft – they sure don’t make them like you anymore. lingerie:PleasureState photography:Adrian Alston/hair&makeup:Bonita Chan

Dr Hauschka Beauty Bag

June 26, 2012 by turquoiseavalon

I love these products. The Make-up Palettes come with me everywhere – Cool Breeze 01 with beautiful cream, soft brown and a perfect turquoise blue, and Warm Breeze 02 with earthy gold, terracotta orange and brown which, surprisingly, completely flatters the palest of skins as well as darker shades. The Translucent Make-up is the only foundation that actually makes my skin better instead of freaking it out. Even if I occasionally fall asleep with it still on… You can buy the Beauty Bag at David Jones stores nationwide and […]

vintage ~ investing in the past = a cleaner future..

May 26, 2012 by turquoiseavalon

Vintage has been an utter and consuming obsession since my early teens – I think when my incredibly fashionable Grandma Jo gave me an original Pucci gown she found at a garage sale, I was hooked for good. And with current mass overproduction, environmental pollutants and factory wages around the globe dipping below the poverty line, investing in vintage fashion and accessories makes more sense than ever.

Late night at the studio

January 29, 2012 by turquoiseavalon

What good fortune for 15 year old me to be ‘discovered’ in Adelaide by a real artist.. who shot fashion almost as a sideline and felt like a living embodiment of the 60’s, in the style of Richard Avedon and Irving Penn. Years later even when all my work was overseas, I always came back to shoot.. and the magical shots always seemed to happen late when the real shoot was over, and there was time to play with light and […]
