So, I know these cool creative chicks that go by the name of Natashia Lunt and Chloe Henderson…We collaborated and have formed a collective called: ‘Style Transformers.’ Providing a styling/costume design/art direction service for anyone that needs some creative consultancy.
Our first project together was to invent characters, design and make a variety of costumes for 12 dancers and singers who will all be performing live at a launch party for a new events agency called Silver Monkey Events. This takes place on Halloween at Finsbury town hall, 31st October 8pm -2am.

We completed our collection for the publicity stunt in September, all our characters were dressed up to the max, face painted and their hair was styled by the incredible hair stylist Mary Roberton.
They pranced around several hotspots in london screaming at the top of their voices, jumping on tables and on chairs in bars, groping strangers and dancing down the streets, stopping traffic….spreading the word….”Come to the halloween party of the century…Silver Monkey presents…Diabolus Lamia!” It was crazy, we followed them around town…Southbank, Soho, Hoxton square and Brick Lane…London was shook up big time and paparazzi were there ready for them all!!
We brainstormed, scribbled, sketched, created character spec sheets and handmade and sourced our outfits, accessories, make-up and hair ideas….
Here they are, watch our characters come to life….

Stereo MCs have just released their new album ‘Double Bubble’. Bogstandard Design (Dylan Byrne + Ben Strebel) created the concept and artistic direction for their latest single “Black Gold”. Lucas Strebel was the master behind the camera. I did the make-up and assisted on the music video. It got a little bit messy as you shall see….
