Helmut Newton inspired beauty shoot

Sebastian Paszek has today been shooting a beauty shoot in homage to the great fashion photographer Helmut Newton. Newton's work often revolved around status and power. Photographing powerful women was one of his trademarks.

The October issue of MC Mag is all about Helmut Newton.

Basso & Brooke LFW Show

It was supposed to start at 3.45 but an hour later it got underway. The crowds were all gathering outside the room allocated to LFW in the Science Museum. Press first, then buyers, then seated. I had a standing only ticket, but when the bouncer said they had 20 seated spare i dashed to the front. I made it to the second row in from the runway, a great view of all the clothes and the whole event. Lots of people from the industry were there to see what Basso and Brooke had been up to since their last show. All the models wore heels so high they walked very upright and aware. The clothes showed off the usual prints Basso and Brooke are famed for, it all had an oriental feel from the strict hair to the over sized hair clips.
