She is...


This was my university project, to do a zine.
My zine is about breaking stereotypes in Finland, my personal view of Finnish fashion and being Finnish.
Enjoy!























p.s. I am planning to do another zine on summer, let me know if you want to be part of it.

My portfolio is online, http://lauramirjam.wix.com/portfolio

he knows the body






First project.
Have you ever heard about designer Azzedine Alaia?
If your answer is no, google it. He is AMAZING designer, I think there is no one who knows woman´s body better than him.
At the beginning I didn't even know who he is.
Even though I was sometimes annoyed that I got a designer that I didn't even know, now I´m so glad that I got him. 
I got to know amazing, unique, timeless designer.

It was really hard project, I mean he has really unique style and he don't follow fashion. There was days that I was ready to cry and go home. And I didn't expect that we were doing our first projects in group. But of course that is a great way to get to know each other.
One month, all about Alaia, his store, his life, designs, future, research book about him, people he has worked with etc.  
 My highlight was a visit to his store,where I saw the real beauty of his designs. There I realized why women love him, like Naomi Campbell and so many more.
He has a lot of loyal customers. 
Alaia cuts his own clothing patterns and sews the samples himself.Alaïa has always made the clothes he wants to make, at his rhythm, showing them when it pleases him, selling only to stores he likes and delivering them when he wants.The fashion shows are only for his friends and family.

He is just so unique.
We booked a model from Instagram, we borrowed clothes from our friends and photographed in studio.
We wanted something simple but stylish at the same time.
This is our photoshoot inspired by Azzedine Alaia.













So you understand what I mean...

Do you love him now?

behind the scenes...


We were test shooting the Serge Gainsbourg-hat project...
I don´t like to be in front of the camera but sometimes you have to sacrifice for your uni project.

Bonnie and Clyde

Cd-cover
Serge Gainsbourg- Bonnie and Clyde,
Do you know the song?
It is based on an English language poem written by Bonnie Parker herself a few weeks before she and Clyde Barrow were shot, entitled "The Trail's End". The song tells the story of the outlaw couple Bonnie and Clyde.
Our photoshoot was based on the song and the singer, and it was all about the hat. We needed to find a hat inspired by the song and the singer.
Serge Gainsbourg loved alcohol, cigarettes and women. He had scandalous life. He was a French singer,songwriter,pianist,film composer, poet, screenwriter, writer, actor and director.


The photoshoot plan was
-Two lovers ((girls)he would have loved that)
-rough look(Serge looked always kind rough)
-black and white images
-alley
-cigarette(Serge always smoked, in every picture)
-HAT

We need to have three images edited.
This project was group project but the editing part was individual.
