Modelling ain't my bag and I haven't got the physical pre-requisites for it but it sure is a bit of fun once in a while. Over the last few days, Swedish fashion photographer Malcolm Palmquist together with cute-as-pie-yet-devious Swedish label Jojo & Malou and their AW08 Lipstick collection ventured around twee little Lamb's Conduit Street with a polaroid camera, 'roiding a bunch of gals in slightly hilarious, 'paparazzi' style shots. I happened to be one of those girls...not exactly sure why I was included as the other members of this Polaroid Pack include Kaya Scodelario (aka Effy from Skins), Ebony Bones, Lois Winstone (sister of Jamie...) and wonderful music vid director Kinga Burza...
The dress I wore took a couple of people to zip me into seeing as it was sample size teensy and together with the fluffy pink hat, jolly pink and purple cardigan (officially my favourite colour combo these days...) and the Terry de Havilland purple glitter shoes it was all clash-fabulous. Excuse the drenched stringy hair... the pics were taken just after I had ventured outside the non-stop rain, skipping in the streets with Marcus 'roiding away. Kinga with her Super 8 camera looks a lot more poised and elegant (her dress has quite a stunning deep v back...).
Jem Goulding who was the stylist on set was seeing stars and Lois Winstone was getting her makeup done...
The Polaroid pics will be blown up and go around Europe in a travelling exhibition...not entirely sure of the details but I am eager to see how all the shots turned out and even more significant that this year marks the last of Polaroid film production...
wowowow that outfit is super, and may i say what a awesome opportunity !!

Great outfit, especially the hat! Really like that you look like you are having fun with it.

Looking firward to seeing the pics

peace.
Posted by: frida | 10 July 2008 at 18:45
I think the slightly ruffled hair is perfect for that outfit, you look incredible!!!
Posted by: Cupcakes and Cashmere | 10 July 2008 at 18:45
I agree with everyone above, its depressing that polaroid isn't making film anymore, but I'm sure (at least I hope) they'll realize the error of their ways.
On, to the clothes...
You look adorable as always, and pink and purple truly is such a great color combo. Did you get any awesome clash-tastic goodies to take home?
Posted by: Chelsea Rae | 10 July 2008 at 19:15
I was also thinking a very cool flight attendant-esque outfit!
The bright, bold colours are such a delight.
... and Terry de Havillands are just a good addition to any outfit. It will spice up any outfit.I absolutely adore his shoes if only he does shoes for guys. haha

I really like this color combination. And the dress is amazing.
Maybe you'll have to quit your day job to model full time...
Posted by: Austere | 11 July 2008 at 03:01
Awesome outfit and awesomer smile. What a cool project, as sad as it is to see Polaroid's film go.

You must tell us when the exhibit is up + rolling! I love Kinga's work, and this all sounds too fun. The purple shoes are love, rather like ur pink miu mius non? (no im not a stalker...)
Posted by: deexdeexdreamer | 11 July 2008 at 09:48
Who is this Kinga girl?? She is stunning. Now I REALLY want a bob! I've been trying to talk myself out of one for ages, but seeing hers is making me want to reach for the hairdressers' number! Uh oh.
I like the dress you have on - very nice colours.
Posted by: DJM | 11 July 2008 at 10:44
You look great! I like seeing 'normal' people model because there is something more energetic about it!
Posted by: coco | 11 July 2008 at 11:34
Kinga is a music vid director...she's done stuff for Kate Nash and the Teenagers.... check out her work DJM!
She is really gorgeous!
Posted by: susie_bubble | 11 July 2008 at 11:46
Brilliant outfit!!!!!love the red and blue
Posted by: The Fashion Assistant and her Camera | 11 July 2008 at 16:05
very cute pictures.
but I have to admit I was really shocked when I came to your post the first time. I thought "wow, recreational steroid use in the fashion scene? That seems odd... and unlike suzie as she usually seems"
Maybe I hang out with too many athletes, but 'roid has only one meaning in my world. perhaps an american thing? (I do come from pretty near Polaroid's hometown --RIP-- so I appreciate their continued use)
Posted by: ripley | 12 July 2008 at 02:11
I love all that red and blue on you.
Posted by: enc | 12 July 2008 at 03:45
You looked stunning, Susie! Your outfits always make me smile. :)
Posted by: Sarz | 12 July 2008 at 04:34
Love that purple and pink cardigan!! How did you get involved in something like this? That is too cool, I am so jealous :)
Posted by: MizzJ | 13 July 2008 at 02:40
oooh! effie from skins.. she's gorgeous. I always thought she looked like caitlin from the o.c though. lol
love all the red in your outfit.
