Last Autumn we published The Head Banging Series - a high octane profile of models Lex and Daria thrashing it out in a dance off. On the same day we also shot a stunning model called Gemma Janes.
Photographer Leoni Blue and I fell in love with Gemma from the moment we saw her - a complete pin up of a girl - full lips, hips and charisma. Inspired by '70s colours mixed up with '50s styling, we shot her against the back drop of a run down warehouse space tucked away in Hackney Wick. As the shoot progresses Gemma fully comes in to her own - one moment smouldering in a bikini to thrashing it out on a sofa, ripping up flowers whilst still managing to look effortlessly chic.
We predict amazing things for Gemma.
About a girl. For all the girls.
