Its A Thrif Ting

final edit of Laure (Model) By Theo Williams

Behind the scene action shot

The East End Thrift Store, the holy grail of vintage and second hand clothes (that are super super cheap) !! during a weekend in London with Theo we decide to take a visit to their £1 sale to find some hidden treasure for a test shooter we were going to do the next day. Once we got to White chapel (East end) we searched for the secret warehouse among the urban streets, and found a door with funky bass blaring out. Inside was mountains of clothes piled on the floor, the theme was rummage. after a few hours of browsing we finally payed for our array of garments from coats to hats and skirts to trousers. In the end we manged to bag 16 different items.. although we only used 3.

Long tan leather trench coat

We shot in oval, just outside Theo's sister house in several different locations.  I chose a white dress with exaggerated shoulders and neck to create a retro elegance with tones of masculinity to maintain power and strength (this is upheld by the leather trench coat) In the end the look ended up portraying a 1940s army style with a mix of chic high fashion for the era, which I thoroughly enjoyed styling since the whole outfit came to £3! A prime example that shows you don't have to have money to be creative.
