The final shoot was Baroque. It was a modern take on the 18th Century look. I chose to do an Urban Baroque look with the most amazing Topshop jacket (and others which i have already blogged about)

Relic

The second shoot was on location in Windsor. The shoot was based on the theme of 'Relic'. I basically had to make my outfit look old with an edge to modernise the look.

Baroque it, Baby

Our final shoot was Baroque themed and damn did we baRoque, or what?!?! Once again we all came put with completely different concepts and looks, and they all looked fantastic. Heres my look.

Printed some baroque inspired images out 

Transferred them onto my tee using transfer paper

And put it all together on the beautiful Catia

Exposure PR

We had recently taken a trip down to Exposure PR firm, near Oxford Street, and there we we given a tour of the showrooms and we were given an outline of how things work around there. Here is some points;

• you will need to get in contact with the fashion team and request an appointment
• you will need to build a good rapport with them and show good etiquette
• assisting established stylists will be a good way in connecting with people
• PR firms often ask for commissioning letters and if for an editorial, they will need to know the publication, issue and dates
• once this is all approved, the samples are sent out, used and they are sent back

Exposure represents a number of brands including;

• Levis
• Doc Martins 
• Hobbs 
• Sainsbury
• Nike 
• Toy Watch
• Farah
• Hunter
