In the Words of Thomas Roos

If you are fooled thinking you know what cupcakes are supposed to taste like. I would like to subjectively say. You are wrong. Yes the beautiful Marie-Helen is my friend. And yes, she baked cupcakes for my birthday. But nothing in the world beats freshly baked Cupcakes, decorated and slaved over just for you. Ah! the sweet serenity of personalization. This sugar babe express her artistic talents with a warm oven and edible fashion accessories. Though these pictures were taken in 2014. I love how this editorial simulates a lot about her sophistication, personal style and allure.

December is a month of enchantment, mystery and delight. Its awe and wonder captures the imaginations of children and adults alike. It is a month to praise, to celebrate and be with family. The magic is in everyone's hearts. No one can ignore the lights that are hung high in our streets, in the stores and in our homes. It is a time to pause and reflect and be thankful. As we view the pass year, on our pains, goals, joys and tribulations. We look through the looking glass to see the person responsible for it all.

Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll reminds us that everything that is and everything that we think we know, is and has never been real. Whatever is real and true to us is truly what we perceive. I guess it it true to the word; "You are what you think you are" so the best is to imagine yourself as the best possible personal, all the time. Why not? There are no rules to that. I guess the hardest part of believing in yourself is liking and maybe even more fruitful, that you love the person that you see in the mirror. If you can love yourself, could you imagine the impossibilities, being possible? Love has a great effect on making people... Spectacular.

" Who in the world, am I. Ah, that's the great puzzle"

What I am trying to say, with all this is; Don't take life so seriously. Play, laugh and wonder into the unknown to great adventures.  Alice in Wonderland may seem like a world of nonsense and folly. But look closely. Doesn't our world look as out of place? With all the crazy and madness around us, and the grey line between war and peace become even more undefined. Is it not time we stop, and reflect? To remember, what is important and what we have loved.

"If everyone minded their own business, the world would go around a great deal faster than it does"

Surly what you see through the looking glass should be, the best of you. Surly it should the most loved part of you. Surly it should be an expanded and infinite version of you all concentrated in your simple physical form. But surly, it is not so. Its just you in the mirror.

"Take some more tea," the March Hare said to Alice, very earnestly.
"I've had nothing yet," Alice replied in an offended tone, "so I can't take more"
"You mean you can't take less," said the Hatter: "it's very easy to take more than nothing."

This editorial is inspired by magic and mystery. Happy Festive Season Everyone.

There is that beautiful and rare phenomenon, called love at first sight. But with fashion, that's an occasional feeling when you see the perfect, dress, shoes or accessories that you must have, own and  parade in for your own and wonderful desire... until the next best thing. All loved fashionable clothes quickly become unloved and locked away in the depth of the wardrobe. Until the day the lover, sends their loved to the place of the loving, once again. Pre-loved stores. A haven where brand quality conscious buyers finally attained their most sought after brand at an affordable price. These timeless and statement pieces are loved, preloved and reborn again and again through all season and any season. There is art in clothing. There is always a wonderful gratitude and appreciation for the great arts of Chanel, Balmain, Baleciaga, Saint Laurent Paris, Alexander Mcqueen, Christian Louboutin Alexander Wang and Céline and all its other most desired fashion friends.

Photographing an editorial for the second hand luxury store, Lady Dandy  was a delight. Working with a new upcoming Model Alanis a young and rising model was such a pleasure. She has some serious game, as we shot out side in the cold. While the I and the and make up artist, Laetitia  where dressed to the max. in layers of jackets. It was a quick and simple shoot and I was very thankful with all the support and trust I had with the Brussel based model agency,  Charley Models.
