SARA LOUISE THOMAS

Juggling between her fashion line, her blog and being an assistant stylist, Sara Thomas has managed to create a label that is ever expanding. Words & Photography CHELSEY O’NIELL Sara Louise Thomas is originally from Stoke-on-Trent and has lived in London for 4 years now. Sara began studying Fashion design at Birmingham University but didn’t finish her degree because she wasn’t enjoying the course. This was when she moved to London and landed herself an assistant stylist position at ASOS, where she still is today. “I was lucky enough to get a job when the company was very small so I’ve seen it grow and develop and had the chance to work with some great freelance photographers, stylists and hair & makeup artists”. While working for ASOS Sara has started up her own label called WAISTE for which she customises denim. “I started my clothing line as I saw a niche in the market for customised denim jackets. I’ve always customised my clothes and it’s

something I love doing. I was getting a bit sick of seeing the same old things being done to denim, so I thought I’d do something a bit different”. Sara was so obsessed with customising pieces of clothing when she was younger, she even got sent home from school one day for customising her uniform! She recently had one of her jackets featured on Vogue. co.uk. As well as being a designer, Sara is also a fashion blogger. She started her blog because it was a way for her to visually document her wardrobe choices. Admitting that Gwen Stefani was her fashion idol, Sara embraced dressing different to others. 2013 is set to be a busy year for the brand WAISTE. Sara will be shooting her new collection and looking for a studio space on the hope to grow her brand further. Take a look at Sara’s designs at www.waiste.com.

ADRIENNE COWAN

With unbelievable stage presence and one of the most powerful voices we’ve ever heard live, Adrienne Cowan is the front woman for up-and-coming new metal band Riot Underground, and she’s only 17! Words & Photography JOELY FORTUNE Adrienne Cowan, born in Houston, Texas, moved to the UK in 2011 to study at The Academy of Contemporary music. Since gaining her diploma in vocal performance, she has moved on to study for her higher diploma in artist development. Adrienne has been interested in music from a very early age, but only recently made it onto the rock scene, “I started taking piano lessons like every other five-year old. So I’ve been playing piano for a while. It wasn’t until I was 10 I started getting really serious about music al theatre and then when I was about 12, I started taking classical voice lessons and then last year and the year before, I got more contemporary and like rock ‘n’ roll and stuff.” Adrienne has played in a lot of bands before Riot and also had a solo project. “I think it’s just a part of trying to find yourself as an artist or as a musician. I was in a band in Holland, it was quite small, called Ignition which was like punk-rock alternative which was interesting. We never did anything. Then there was Last Minute which I formed with some of the guys from my current band, Riot Underground, the drummer, Henry. So we’ve been working together for years now.” During this time, Adrienne has written a lot of her own songs, she says: “You get something really good, you get this like amazing high and it’s just like, Oh my God I thought of that! I’m f***ing genius!” Talking about her influences in music and fashion, she says, “As a singer I really... You’re going to be shocked but I

really like Adam Lambert. I know.” *laughs* “I do like the chick from Halestorm. What’s her name? I think it’s Lizzy Hale. I love Lizzy Hale, got that really nice like rawrrr.” This young rocker has her own very strong sense of style, which is heavily influenced by her music and some rather interesting opinions on current fashion trends. “I wear a lot of black, a lot of like metal bits like studs and chains and a lot of leather and lots of big boots and like cowboy boots and goth boots, sometimes chucks but not very often because they make my feet hurt… Oh there’s something that really pisses me off. When indie kids roll their jeans up at the bottom and you get that like bit of skinny ankle. I don’t wanna see that s**t man! And you can just tell me not to look but it’s f***ing everywhere! I’m sorry if you’re into that.” She also has a YouTube channel where she shares a lot more of her opinions, “Really it was just to kind of get myself out there online and create my sort of web presence and stuff. So yeah no I do some covers and gig announcements and if anything exciting is happening then it’s that kind of thing... oh and there’s also hair tutorials on how to do fluffy rocker hair!” Looking to the future, Adrienne says: “We’re hoping to give Riot Underground a big push so if you’re into old-school rock and kinda metally stuff, check out our Facebook: Facebook.com/riotunderground or you can find us on our website: riotunderground.com!”

CHHIMMI DHOLKAR GURUNG

Being a second year student, a freelance makeup artist and a blogger at the same time is not an easy thing to do, but somehow Chimmi, a 23-year-old girl from Nepal, manages to do that. And she manages to do it great! Words LA TO Photography PAIJ HAMILTON Originally from Nepal, Chimmi (she prefers to be called Chim) has a father who is in the British Army so it gave her a chance to live in England. After the A-Level years of doing Fine Art, Textiles and Design Technology, Chim moved onto a Foundation course in Art and Design at University for the Creative Arts Canterbury. Now in her second year at UCA Epsom, she’s studying Fashion Promotion & Imaging with Styling & Photography as her chosen pathway. When she’s not at university, Chim works as a freelance makeup artist and recently she’s been taken under the wings of Maid-Up Makeup Artistry, a South East London based group of makeup artists. When asked about the reason she enjoys makeup so much, Chim shared: “Doing someone else’s makeup and seeing their reaction makes me feel fulfilled, knowing that I have helped someone feel and look beautiful, in my own little way.” Even though Chim has only been officially working as a makeup artist for a year, she sure has accomplished a lot. She’s worked with some rising local photographers, Saskia Lawson, Thomas Langley, Tom Keenan to name a few, whose work range from fashion to bridal and these types of photoshoots allow Chim to

be really creative. Most of the photos they produced have been published in some online and international magazines. Her biggest achievement so far: the amount of support she’s gained through her blog and Facebook page. Chim started blogging years ago and it turned into a place to store all her work. The blog (chhimmigurung. blogspot.com) is filled with photos from shoots, behind the scene photos and her thought processes. Chim also started posting videos on Youtube just a year ago, mostly to talk about cosmetics because she wanted to connect to her audience in a different way, rather than using words and photos. About her teenage years, she said: “I was a massive fan of Spice Girls so I tried my best to dress like them. I also used to straighten my hair every single day because I thought it looked really good on me but when I look back at the photos now, I really regret it!” In 2013, Chim will be in her last year at university so she needs to prepare herself for when she leaves, which means that she will have to pay lots of attention to her job as a makeup artist. At the end of the interview, Chim shared that she plans to “keep a steady head, stay focused and work hard”, which we think she will, definitely.

At the age of 19 she’s already worked on fashion shoots for The Sunday Times and Hobbs London and is quickly making a name for herself within the industry. She describes herself as “a London born and bred creative mess”, having lived in too many places across London to pinpoint a place to call “home”. She is currently studying at Wimbledon College of Art doing her degree in Fine Art: Print & Time Based Media. She has also just started working with Elena Rendina as her set design assistant and is taking time out of her busy life to talk to us about what makes her click.

THAT GIRL When did you start to get an interest in photography? I’d be lying if I gave one of those ‘I picked up a camera when I was 4’ stories. For me, when I was growing up, anything creative – from graphic design, painting, web design, decorating walls, drawing, etc was always my way of escaping the world around me. Around the start of GCSE’s on an art trip to Kew Garden I took a really s**t compact camera (probably worth no more than £5 now) and by the end of the day I was totally addicted. I still love experimenting with almost all mediums but since then it’s been my favorite way of capturing… pretty much everything.

is a way of me entering the world I’m making for my model, rather than always just being behind the camera and focusing on how or if it’s all going to come together.

Who or what are you inspired by? I’d say I take most of my inspiration from various areas not just photography. Music, set design, romanticism, the PreRaphaelites, fashion and my own experiences play a huge part in inspiring my work. I do a lot of set design in my work and I guess this is an obvious answer but I was one of those people that went through the magical moment of discovering Tim Walker. I don’t care if it’s a cliché response but his work still takes my breath away. I love photos that have an almost cinematic quality to them but also simplistic ones that capture a sense of human fragility. There are so many people whose work I love like Matthew Stone, Paolo Roversi, Julia Margaret Cameron and Jeff Wall. Also, obviously, Elena Rendina. I’m so lucky to have had the chance to work with her! What have you worked on in the past and what are you working on now? In the past I did a lot of quite dark and sinister stuff influenced by paintings I used to do and people like Arnulf Rainer and Francis Bacon. My photographic work was very much focused on the idea of the destruction of childhood fairytales… I guess in a way it still very much is! Recently I’ve been working on more projects that are a bit more collaborative I guess. Even if it means just having a friend on set to give me their opinion. I think there are a lot of things you can learn from other people. I’m working on bigger, more elaborate sets, making a big scrapbook of photos and drawings and I’ve been getting really into printmaking too. I think I’ve learnt to be a lot more playful, and in some ways less serious. I still produce some pretty dark stuff but I’d say I’ve learnt to work in a way suited to the kind of work I’m producing. Building props, set, and sometimes costumes by myself can get stressful. But working with other people or even sitting around my studio wearing things like huge pompom headbands that I’ve made

You have had various blogs, talk to me about your current ones. I’ve had too many! There are two I use now. My tumblr is www.liptrickz.tumblr.com I don’t really use it that much or post stuff, it’s more just me reblogging bits I find inspiring, I use it as a kind of visual reference. My other blog is www. christinapoku.com/blog I’ve recently remade it so it’s a bit bare at the moment! I post bits and bobs like snapshots from gigs and behind the scenes stuff. I used to be a bit of a serial blogger. It can get quite addictive. Maybe that’s just me though, who knows? Its a good way to discover new talent and network though. How would you describe your style? I didn’t know how to put it into words so I asked my best friend and she said ““Clueless (the movie) but mixed with every extra in most 90’s grunge videos (That’s a compliment).”” I’m not going to lie I think I couldn’t have put it any better. I like to mix short with baggy, tight with oversized, and at the moment seem to only wear something with some sort of platform. I like little details. I own a lot of jewelry and accessories. I customize most of my things now even if it’s something small like studding a pair of socks. I think my one pet hate is the whole “girl going clubbing” look. I can’t deal with it. Too gross. Who is your style icon? I wouldn’t say I have a style icon but if I could have anyone’s wardrobe it would most definitely be Mary-Kate Olsen. Finally, what are your plans for 2013? I wouldn’t say I have any plans for 2013 but I’m going to keep trying to make some magic. I want my sets and work to keep getting bigger and better. I’ve started working with and around other creatives the last few months and despite always wanting to work entirely independently I’ve come to love it. So I aim to work with and for as many people as possible. I kind of want to start a music/fashion/art zine but that’s just a bit of wishful thinking. Who knows? I think the thing I love about photography, the course I’m doing and the people I’m working with is that I never know where it’s going to take me. I’ve been rushing around and moving my whole life and I have no intention of slowing down anytime soon.

EVER WONDERED HOW THOSE ICONIC PICTURES WERE TAKEN AND THE STORIES BEHIND THEM? IN THIS FEATURE, WE REVEAL ALL THE WHAT’S, WHEN’S, HOW’S AND WHO’S ON THE MOST INFLUENTIAL ALBUM COVERS OF OUR TIME. Words LOIS BARNETT Imagine this, an entire wall at the back of an appliance store covered with stacks of plain brown envelopes with bland, simple lettering. No illustration, no photography, no colour, just a characterless envelope. This was in fact the album cover up to the year 1938. Successful bands and singers knew no better than to represent themselves using brown, tan or green paper, allowing absolutely no differentiation from each other. Diversity was non existent and records were bought by name at the counter. To browse the record section just wasn’t considered, after all how would any of these records be recognisable!? As you can imagine, sales were neither abundant nor significant at the time. In our day and age, album covers are constantly competing to get picked up off the shelf and the image on the front has become part of the music, and in some cases, one of the reasons why the album is bought. You begin to think to yourself, how did that generation get by like that? Well, it wasn’t until a talented young illustrator named Alex Steinweiss came along and changed the ethics of the album cover forever. Steinweiss was born in 1917 in Brooklyn, New York and excelled in high school in illustrating and featured in PM magazine aged only 17. After his graduation in 1937, he was hired as an Art Assistant by Austrian graphic designer Joseph Binder but this wasn’t his greatest achievement. At age 23, he was hired by newly formed Columbia Records as their first Art Director and Advertising Manager, and from this stemmed the visual

41

and innovative future of album covers. Steinweiss studied the plain paper envelope and pitched the idea that the packaging could be made more visually appealing, with an addition of illustrations. His idea was revolutionary in the world of album art, sky rocketing record sales by 900 percent and taking the industry by storm with his clever combination of bold typography with modern, elegant illustrations. “I love music so much and I had such ambition that I was willing to go way beyond what the hell they paid me for. I wanted people to look at the artwork and hear the music”, Alex Steinweiss shared. Steinweiss created over 2500 album covers for columbia records, London, RCA, Decca and others. Most of the records he designed artwork for were considered part of the Golden Age of Jazz. His designs also appeared in logos, film studios and magazines earning himself an AIGA Medal and the Art Directors Hall of Fame lifetime achievement award. Since Steinweiss’ modernisation of the album cover, bands and singers came to realise that in order to maximise their album sales to their full potential, they would need to embrace album art and use it as a marketing tool to allow their albums to shout the loudest, engaging the buyers. So now, thanks to Alex Steinweiss, the music and art worlds collide into a vision of creativity and imagination. The most famous artists are now being related to the most iconic and influential imagery of all time. Check out our interesting facts about the art behind the covers on the next pages.

PATTI SMITH Album: “Horses” released in 1975 by Arista Records Photographer: Robert Mapplethorpe A simple black and white portrait of Patti Smith shot on a polaroid camera with natural lighting in her apartment. It was clear Smith was aiming for a minimalistic look and the record company attempted to alter and adjust the image but Smith did not allow this. She styled herself for the shot and confessed that she only had one rule for the photo shoot, if she wore a white shirt, it couldn’t be a dirty one. She recalled, “I got my favourite ribbon and my favourite jacket, and he took about 12 pictures.” By the eighth picture, Mapplethorpe exclaimed “I got it.”

FLEETWOOD MAC Album: “Rumours” released in 1977 by Warner Bros. Records Photographer: Herbert Worthington The photo shows John Mcvie and Stevie Nicks engaging in something resembling old fashioned courtship against a cream coloured background. It is seen as an enchanting, elegant and gracefully seductive image in the industry. The two are both dressed in Renaissance style costumes, Nicks dressed as her stage persona, Rhiannon. Nicks was spontaneously dancing around John in a small room when the photograph was captured which gave the impression that the band did not take themselves too seriously. The design of the cover is credited to Desmond Strobel and the typography to Larry Vigon, both art directors and designers. The album is one of the most successful of all time and this is mainly due to the raw emotion within it, which is also reflected on the artwork. 42


THAT GIRL

BLONDIE Album: “Parallel Lines” released in 1978 by Chrysalis Records Photographer Edo Goddard The idea for this iconic classic came from the bands manager, Peter Leeds, who saw Blondie as being Debbie Harry with a band, but this wasn't the way Harry or the band intended to be portrayed. Leeds assisted in the creation of the image, allowing Harry to clearly stand out from the rest of the band in her bright, white dress and red lipstick complimenting the red typography, whilst the boys blend into the piano key background with their black and white suits. This is not what the band agreed on and the cover became a symbol of manipulation and contributed to the dropping of Leeds as a manager. Harry said, “We were shocked that the artwork had been completed without our approval and that the decision had been made without the band.”

THAT GIRL

MADONNA Album: “Madonna” released in 1983 by Sire Records Photographer: Gary Heery Heery took a black and white portrait shot of Madonna using a Hasselblad camera with Kodak tri-x film. He used a simple lighting system being a raw head (which were called Asco lights at the time) and he kept the contrast up in the editing process. Madonna arrived with very few items to work with, only half of the jewellery she was wearing in the image she arrived with, the rest was borrowed off of Heery’s girlfriend. In terms of styling she had a simple, street look about her, and in order to portray her personality, this is also what was aimed for in the shot. She appeared confident and naturally performing in front of the camera, which resulted in a great photo. There was a rush behind the shoot and Heery suspected she had rejected a previous cover and requested a re-shoot.

GRACE JONES Album: “Island Life” released in 1986 by Island Records Photographer: Jean Paul Goude This famous, illusional image of pop culture was achieved by Goude photographing Jones in a variety of positions using transparent boxes to elevate parts of her body. He then combined the images in a montage, which presented Jones performing an impossible ballet pose. Having transferred the montage to photographic paper, Goude used it as a preliminary sketch for a painting meant to give the photographic illusion that she alone could perform this pose. Goude said, “The main point is that Grace couldn’t do it, and that’s the basis of my entire work: creating a credible illusion.” 44

LOVE THE BAND LOVE THE T-SHIRT INSPIRED BY AND REPLICATED FROM THE MOST SUCCESSFUL BANDS’ LOGOS, WE HAVE DECKED OUT IN OUR WHITE T-SHIRTS AND SPLASHED ON SOME AMAZING DESIGNS. INTRODUCING THAT GIRL’S T-SHIRT COLLECTION, AND A BIT OF BAND T-SHIRT’S FACTS FOR YOU! Words LOIS BARNETT Photography JOELY FORTUNE Styling JOELY FORTUNE Come on, everyone loves a band T-shirt. Whether you wear them to gigs, lazing around the house, as your everyday attire or even to bed. They have recently appeared in high street shops like H&M as a fashion item, even if you don’t like the band on the front! So, how did it all begin? We are not about to bore you with a history lesson on how the t-shirt originated, so let’s skip to the interesting part. In the late 1960’s the bland, basic t-shirt of the previous years started to undergo drastic changes, one being the transformation of this blank canvas into an advertising space sparked by savvy marketeers. This injection of imagery allowed the t-shirt to become a souvenir and a way for people to show their love for their rock ‘n’ roll idols. One of the first artists to embrace this was Elvis Presley, he offered t-shirts with his visuals on the front to his loyal fans who attended his concerts. Other bands like The Beatles and The Monkees took on to this band t-shirt take off and had their t-shirts on sale at their U.S tours in the 1960’s. The t-shirt then became a sign of memorabilia and known as the Rock Concert T-shirt. Then came the introduction of the iron-on transfer

which developed the availability of music t-shirts further. This concept took off in shopping centres, with that element of D.I.Y, it gave the consumers an opportunity to make their t-shirt their own through their individuality and creative choice. Much to the appeal of Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren who took extreme measures with this innovative concept. Westwood and McLaren added a burst of Punk, designing t-shirts influenced by punk fashion and London’s underground rock scene with a deconstructive element featuring rips and safety pins, much to the approval of the young people of London with a taste of the subversive. T-shirts were and still remain a way for bands to amplify their visual identity beyond just record sleeves and posters, and become more recognisable to the public. The band t-shirt has evolved throughout the years in fast and furious techniques and aesthetics. Iconic designs, reworkings and the trend of the subtle with no-logo illustrations have come in to existence in the industry. Here at That Girl, we thought we would have a go at creating our own. What do you think of our replicas of some of the most iconic designs?

THE ROLLING STONES The renowned and iconic lips logo for The Rolling Stones was designed by John Pasche, who was asked by Mick Jagger to design a logo for them. The lips concept was to aid the band in their representation of their antiauthoritarian attitude, Mick’s mouth and the obvious sexual connotations. Pasche designed the logo in a way which allowed it to become easily reproduced and with a style which he thought could stand the test of time. It was originally used on the inner sleeve for the “Sticky Fingers” album and due to the immediate popularity, the Rolling Stones stuck with it over the years. 57

It is said to have been inspired by a bar named ‘The Acid House’ in Washington with a smiley face as their logo.

Others say that Kurt Cobain drew the image of Axl Rose when they were conflicting and the band happened to like the image and kept with it! I guess we’ll never know! The font is called Onyx and was selected by graphic designer, Lisa Orth.
