We have been working with you on various fashion jobs for quite a few years now and you impress terms of makeup? There are a number of things that inspire me about the fashion Secondly, the impact and boundaries that are pushed and its inﬂuences. What really excites me is being able to create models as well as the high-octane environment give me something of a buzz. Like fashion, makeup plays a huge part not only on catwalk or editorial but also to high street consumers. I love to be able to mix up my look depending on what mood I'm in, by altering the style of my hair and makeup - for me that is the beauty of fashion.

Right now key trends for spring summer are Nu-ance, Sig-nature Puri-tan and Sche-delic. Less is more on the skin but making the eyes and lips making the statement. Eye makeup consists of bright colours in a 60's/70s inspired manner. A wash of metallics and pastels across the eyelid paired with minimal use of eyeliner to keep the face looking fresh. In terms of skin the look is dewy, balmy, glowing, sun-kissed skin with the use of minimal product and highlighters and contouring to create a sculpted look. Lips are bright, with orange and pink tones being most popular.

An interview with milliner dinu bodiciu

www.dinubodiciu.com

Q: Tell us about your background. Why millinery? A: My ﬁrst BA was actually in pharmacy for 5 years. I was completely isolated from design really but my mother was showing in the biggest gallery in my home town. That started my passion for art and so I followed the one BA degree for free so I did a BA in graphic design while I was working as a pharmacist. I met my partner in happy there so I started designing bags to try and apply for an MA in fashion. We decided to move to London and I found LCF, the MA had fashion design and technology and so I studied there and graduated in 2011. Q: Your knowledge of chemistry must have helped with some areas of fashion in terms of fabric technology?

Q: When you help the students what advice do you give?

how they feel. Q: Do you think uni is worth it? A: Yes, I think the system in the UK is very diﬀerent to Romania, you have more self discovery, it is very structured in Romania. I think the UK system is very well developed and teaches you how to develop your own skills. I think it also helps where you are; London is the best place to get PR and network, there is a lot of focus on London.

last few years of university and before that I painted. I have always been torn between art and literature and the thing that united them was stories. I actually started with ﬁlm when I was 16 and then assisted some wonderful photographers for a year or so who taught me a lot.

I don't think anyone would really bat an eyelid if you walked around half naked with a chicken on your head in Dalston, eccentricity is almost a norm, but there are a lot less people in Paris who break the mould.

There are so many uncontrollable elements that you have to be prepared to work with the moment, otherwise you could end up ﬂogging a dead horse and it won't be expressing the important though, it drives me to an end point so you know what you are trying to

It felt really right: photography is something to be enjoyed. The process was also wonderful. I photographed in Berlin, Paris, Milan and various parts of London from Kensington to The Rio in Dalston. All of the portraits are so diﬀerent and unique to the subject and surrounding. It is one of the best things I have done. Q: What would be your plan B career if you didn’t do photography?

Just be hardworking there really is no other way. Being honest with yourself is very important too. Really gauging what you are good at, what your limits are and then ﬁnding out how to overcome those and working with those who have forte's in what you don't have.

I would like to learn more about fabric How I picked up how to do things was a lot of trial and error as well as lots of great people giving me advice. An aspect that has helped me greatly is to treat fashion design as product design visualising garments as an object. What's great if that you can always test it out on yourself since we all have our own bodies. I actually quite enjoy that I haven't had formal training. My thought process and design stages are not have taught, something I am not wholly convinced by.

I moved over bringing my diﬀusion line with me. New York is a great place to meet people and network, since moving over the label has gone from strength to strength and we have new fans such as Shaun Ross who is now wearing it adding New Yorkers to our Lucie Halley Boys. The LH Boy word is spreading and I am looking forward to seeing what New York will hold for my brand. This year I am hoping to bring the line into the my designs into stores.

own business? From my experience, there are many people who study fashion as the ‘cool’ thing to do. It is hard and you have to be prepared to allow it to take over your life for the next three years. You have to be hungry enough and if you are then it will be the best thing you will do. I was once told that you could only make it in fashion if you are born into, or marry into money. I believe that anyone from any ﬁnancial background can become who they want to be if they are hungry enough. My advice is don’t let anyone tell you you cant. And if they do, use it as fuel. Also to any of my fellow dyslexics out there - dyslexia is not a disability it is simply a diﬀerent way of thinking. What would be your plan B career?

University for me did not prepare me for the commercial world – that I had to learn myself. Walking out of University straight into a job is somewhat of a myth these days.

Most recruiters like to see a clearly laid out, chronological CV. It should be clear from your CV what you did on a specific project or task, and what the result was. Always try to write achievements. Don’t make empty statements like ‘impeccable interpersonal skills’ unless you can back it up, with a genuine example and avoid CV filler phrases and flowery language; you are not a ‘curator’ unless you work for the

from? I'm actually born into a very musical family. I have a lot of family members and almost each member either plays an instrument extremely well or understands music to a high level. There is a core belief in God that I’ve stuck with from an early age, so I believe that's where I get it from. Tell us a bit about your background, where did you study? Wimbledon College, probably the best year of my life and met some incredible people. Then went on to London College of Fashion, great people they’re too but it was challenging to say the least.

wouldn't dare to call myself a producer, but it's very close to my heart. Fashion ﬁlm is almost an embodiment of all of my garments, the opportunity to incorporate moving 2D prints and artwork, and of course the way it interacts with music.

From looking at your work it is clear you use fashion as a reference for I can appreciate a lot of things in fashion, but I think Boris Bidjan Saberi possibly because it looks like he's incorporated one of my childhood obsessions into his designs - NINJAS!

Tell us about "Melancholic". What’s the story behind these pieces and what media do you use? 'The Melancholic' was born from the desire to do something with all black styling. It was my ﬁrst editorial for Individualism so I wanted to do something striking, to show what I love to do. I've had an obsession with the dark look for a while, so I partnered with my good friend and

is because I use all sorts of randomness in photography, pencil, coloured pencil, conte, oil paint, chalk, graphic marker, I can't reveal exactly how I did it, that's one of my grave secrets. Actually if you ask me I’ll probably tell you.

Well I'm launching my clothing line named 'Seraph' very soon; it's primarily a menswear label with intricate prints based around the theme of the Seraphim Angels. I'm also working with diﬀerent brands doing more of these photographic and illustrated look books, I want to try to encourage more brands and magazines their campaigns, I think it's more London's ﬁnest upcoming designers and stylists as well, just keep those eyes peeled.

up in the “fashionable gender”. Unlike the animal kingdom us females have been the but recently we have been known to snoop out the well-groomed men of the city along with the heavily inked up boys about town, using them for best-dressed sex, we feel we should celebrate men’s fashion and embrace their eﬀorts to be more style conscious and conﬁdent in their shopping habits.

With fashion events such as LCM mens fashion is forcing its way to the front of the fashion news, but regardless of whats “on trend” we wanted to know what piece of clothing Mr Campbell could not live without and what was a big fashion no no: “I can’t live without my hat. I feel it completes my look no matter what day, time or place. I’m not a big fan of men wearing baggy jeans with over designed loafers.” Mr Campbell has a very distinctive style, we asked him where he draws his inspiration from: “I wouldn't say that I look for inspiration but I tend to gain my ideas from old movies and old paintings. I’m a huge fan of how men use to dress in the late 1800s but I also love the way men dressed in the 1920s through to the late 60s.” Photography: Camilla Treharne for Oliver Sweeney

BeExposed caught up with Londons style guru Martell Campbell AKA Mr Flyy to pick his dapper mind and to ﬁnd out his pet hates in fashion.

When asked how he felt men’s fashion has developed over the years his response was: “Men are actually taking fashion more seriously in regards to their appearance and are now becoming more fashion conscious and more aware of trends.” We agree with this statement and hope that men continueto go that extra mile to think about their outfit choices.

The second thing needed to be a good male model is to have good skin. It is magical to ﬁnd a young guy with perfect skin, as guys don’t tend to do much to their skin. Lastly is a good character, you get a feeling from speaking to a boy in the ﬁrst 5 minutes if he would work well with the agency.

HUTCH

job of online assistant at i-D magazine! Proves that it does pay oﬀ to take up internships. how did you bag yourself I was quite lucky, I was interning at Exclusive Promo doing PR for a few months which was great. When that came to a ﬁnish they recommended me to the guys at i-D. I sent my CV over, I went down for an interview and started enjoy myself and really feel like part of the team and was so impressed with the passion within i-D and wanted to be a part of it.

Describe a typical day in the i-D oﬃce for you. At the moment I'm working mostly on the uploading content for the i-D Online and occasionally cross over to assist the guys in print. Im also involved with the running of the monthly i-D Mix Night events, the are always a vibe.

Hutch previously ran the DnB/

Dubstep room at one of London’s best-known clubs - Ministry of sound. Since then he’s been invited to hold a residency at Pack London events. Get familiar with the name because Hutches diary is rapidly filling up with regular sets around London and Europe. Ready to set the pace this summer, Hutch has been rebooked to play at the “Run to the Beat”. His music will also be travelling with him when he lands in Vilnius the capital of Lithuania to play later on this year. His head bopping nights never fail to deliver the tunes from the very best of old school up with the floor filler and i-D magazines online editorial assistant Hutch, to talk about work and the music scene. What are you listening to right now? Im always listening to loads of different music but im really enjoying the movement of music coming out of the UK. Producers like Breach, Midland, Pedestrian, Maribou State and more house/ garage vibes of Waze & Odyssey are all doing big things and making some really great music.

I believe that experience and personality play a great individuals an edge. University helped me in a lot of ways even though I didn’t graduate. While at university, I managed to secure a job in an industry that I really enjoyed and engaged with and there were certain things that I learnt at university that I was applying to my work and eventually it felt that there was nothing more for in my degree and I haven’t looked back since. In hindsight what would you have done diﬀerently in terms or your career so far? If I was going to do anything diﬀerently I wish I had put now. I wish I had learnt more at a younger age. What advise would you give aspiring Dj’s or music graduates? Be strong, dedicated and professional - these qualiites will be vital. Meet as many people as possible and make sure you are a pleasure to work with :)
