THE DEVIL MAKES WORK FOR IDOL THUMBS

After months of sending endless emails and applying to various publications for writing positions, I am pleased to say that I am now a fashion writer for IDOL Magazine.

IDOL is one of my favourite publications, personally I feel like I can relate so much to it and it is completely on my wavelength. That is something that is very important for me when writing and contributing whatever it may be is concerned. I like to feel a connection with the vision, the aim and the inspiration that goes into the magazine. 

With IDOL, I get exactly that. It holds a strong sense of individuality, a quality that separates it from other quirky publications - an attitude almost that perceives it as a superior force. Nothing about IDOL is dated, it isn't particularly current either - but it hits the bullseye straight away. That's the beauty of it, for all the creative individuals in the world that have a vision slightly different from what we see in a modern fashion magazine, it's spot on. 

I feel privileged to be contributing and I'm beyond excited to working with the IDOL team and for everything it has to offer. I'll be posting updates about my time with the publication (and Boys By Girls!) and anything that us worth sharing here on the blog.

BOYS BY GIRLS.

Today I had the pleasure of being invited to the home of photographer and editor-in-chief of Boys By Girls magazine, Cecilie Harris. It was great to meet and learn a little more about her vision as a photographer and the aim she has with the Boys By Girls publication.

Harris is an extraordinary artistic woman, she perceives the male form in a natural, gentle and gracious way. There is no intention of creating anything sexual or erotic. It's all about catching the innocence, the truth, the curiosity, the beauty and the youth that lies within the male models she focuses on.

Combining fashion and portraiture, forms of art are created and without sounding too enthusiastic - Harris' work is simply quite fascinating.

Here is the exciting part - after our meeting today I will be with the publication as a fashion writer over the next couple of months. I feel privileged to be working alongside such an intriguing artist (I refer to her as an artist because I really do see her as a visionary).

I'm looking forward to having a bigger insight into Boys By Girls, there is so much more than just a publication and a variety of beautiful boys - there is true passion and an explosive vision that I think we've only just witnessed the beginning of.
