Eugene McGuinness - LION Single cover


I worked on this a week or so ago with Will and Dylan aka the directing duo 32.
The model is the delightful Rebbecca Victoria who I met on the Magnetic Man video.
For Rebbeccas hair I used Sugar Shock from Tigi Candi fixations range and for the Tatoo i used up a lot of patience. The original was sketched by a friend of 32 up north Giulio Bigazzi you can see it below.

Everyone's raving about Eugenes up and coming new album check him out here http://www.eugenemcguinness.net/



Thanks to Issey for your support on the day! Also  the Lennox brothers for leaving the Pinot Noir!!

I worked on the London part of this, shes my No.1 always ....Ellie Goulding...

Eugene McGuinness - LION Directed by 32

I worked on this video with my favorites 32.  Will and Dylan. Here's Eugene McGuinness with LION. Got a sneaky listen to his new album in the car. Its Epic.  He is definitely one to watch out for and what a talented dapper lad he is.
Art direction is beautiful in its simplicity and Pigeon shit starkness, I kid you not we stood in it all day.

Directed by 32
Art Direction Nathan Parker
Assisted by my brother Joseph wearing and Lewis Teague Wright
Choreography by Supple Assisted by Caramel
Styling the lovely Jemima Penny
Assisted by Annelise Buesnel
Hair and Make up Me/ Lucy Wearing
Assisted by Andrea Gomez
All Produced by Stacy, Stacy Vaughan

I  got to try out the Bed Head Tigi Candy Fixations range, I used loads of sugar dust to get a matte finish on the hair and the ferrel messy look combined with Sugar shock to enhance the natural movement of the hair, leaving it just perfectly unkempt.

So I guess this comes under "some of the things I get up to..." TIGI BED HEAD CANDY FIXATIONS

So Yesterday I went to Purple PRs event of the aforementioned new product range, what a delight it was a magical world of irredescent candies, milk bottles, lollypops and Fizz....NOT Frizz.

Im not really one for my hair smelling like sweets but this stuff is divine, with products with yummy names such as Sugar Dust. Sugar Shock, Totally Baked, Mega Whip.. hair care straight from Charlies Chocolate Factory.

I came home with Carnaby Streets very own Denim Delicious Simone Clarke, whos hair I have bleached 3 times in as many days and is still as soft as babies.  No volume Simone...Not anymore she left looking like a Cherish Madonna and padded down the street leaving a delicious trail of loveliness.


Check out the products.  Candy Pin up girl has hair to dye for. Jealous! She looked every bit a Candy Fixation yesterday with great make up from Nina Fay Robinson, who I am proud to say that I taught once upon a time.




Here's the ever delicious Josh Quinton and Sami Knight having a lick of the Lolly.  I'm not sure which josh was most pleased about coming across a giant lolly pop or the fact the goody bag went so well with his out fit! And the lovely Louie and mega babe Mimi sampling some good old fashioned confectionery on sticks.

This week’s blog of the week is Warpaint, Lashes & Glue, a place of bona fide professional makeup designer that is maintained by the incredibly talented Lucy.

The blog is a scrapbook of cutting edge artistry with some awesome photography thrown in for good measure. Lucy is a beauty renaissance woman: not only is she a hair and makeup artist, but she’s also a stylist and an associate lecturer. Phew.
The technical brilliance of her work is evidenced all over the blog, from making up musicians to creating fantastical special effects. Even if you have no interest in makeup, the ridiculously exciting stuff that Lucy gets up to is reason enough to make her a permanent fixture to your blog roll!
