Christian Blanchard interview with Photo Mojo + more Nikon classes

Fashion Supports Tracky Dack Day

It's been a big month for Philip Boon, lending his styling expertise to not one but two charity fashion events. Here's the second; Fashion supports Tracky Dack Day, a runway show bringing attention to TLC for Kids who provide cheer and valuable optimism to very ill children.

It takes an experienced styling to make the humble "tracky dack" look this good. More evidence below:

Fashionising - "Track pants & TLC for Kids"

What would Karl Do - "Tracky re-cap"

Raww - "Fashion supports Tracky Dack Day"

Business Chic - "Fashion supports Tracky Dack Day"

J-Dawg World - "FASHION supports > Tracky Dack Day"

The Vine - "Sunday Socials"

Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my Close Up

The latest work from Melbourne-based photographer Jesper Nielsen is naturally beautiful. Can you guess what (perfectly innocent thing) they are advertising? 

Mission 65 Round Up

When he's not styling fashion editorials, glossy advertising campaigns or celebrities for the red carpet, Philip Boon rolls up his (probably Gucci) sleeves for a cause.

The stylist's latest charitable project has been hosting and styling the Mission 65 fashion show in conjunction with the Whitehouse Institute of Design students and local designers. The event was a celebration and fundraiser for the Prahran Mission who have been working for the local community for 65 years.

Who said the fashion biz was all style, no substance?

The fashion show took the wartime mantra of "make do and mend" - utilising pieces from Prahran Mission's op-shops - to re-create looks inspired by the 1940's, Christian Dior's 'New Look' with a little Carmen Miranda (doesn't everybody need a little Carmen in their lives?).
