When I asked Elle if I could photograph her she gave up her lunchtime and said yes. And because she was so generous with her time I am able to bring you 3 images from our shoot together. She is a remarkable young woman. Beautiful, open and wise beyond her years. When growing up she lived in London and LA. Her Dad's work bringing them back to London when she was 14. She told me that her Dad who is a film writer, artist and photographer is one of her greatest influences. Her inspiration is Grace Kelly for her elegance with a bit of a rebel. Elle loves leather and lace which she describes as a bit naughty but feminine. When describing herself she says she is a bit of a hippy, non drinking, no meat eating, herbal tea drinker, who loves yoga and chanting.
In the 1st shot her grey jacket is from
Topshop, her skirt is vintage leather and the belt is
Agnes B. She has on a t-shirt below the lace shirt which is also
Agnes B and the lace shirt she bought from Giant when she was 16. Ooh and that beautiful bag is
YSL and her shoes were a find from a boutique in La Mariee, Paris. For the 2nd and 3rd shots she put on her black
Zara overcoat. At first I thought it had a really big collar which when I asked about she said no it is a hood and when she put it up it added such a wonderful further dimension to the shoot I had to bring it to you in the 3rd shot.
