I made this mouthpiece from leather kilt buckles and leather and added gem stones. Inspired by an image I found online a few months ago (below).

CURRICULUM VITAE

On graduating in 2011, I won The British Fashion Council in association with Warehouse’s annual award for fashion photography. This gave me a 6-month paid internship in Aurora Fashion’s in-house studio.

My major project has been to focus on the successful launch of Warehouse’s new designer collection, from initial concept to completion. This involved choosing the location, the model, the styling, the equipment and the photography, and finally graphic designing the look-book. Through this my work has appeared in the windows of major Warehouse stores across the country as well as in Selfridges and Harrods.

My images have also been published in the Sunday Times Style magazine, Look magazine and other national publications. Please see: - http://www.warehouse.co.uk/bfc-lookbook/content/fcp-content
