Josephine Giles, Model

 I've always had an interest in modelling, but never thought I would get anywhere with it until I got casted by an agency director on facebook. I really enjoy how many new and interesting people I get to meet as a part of my job. However, I am also a year 12 student at an all girls school and feel that I get look at differently because I am a model. The stigma attached to it can be challenging at times. It's hard to fit into all the things you're expected to. What makes me mad though is people that won't let you have your own opinions.

I tend to blog, play with my dogs and drink a lot of tea in my free time- if I get any. T2 Chai Tea is the best. I'm obsessed with Catsclaw vitamins because I feel a lot better since taking them. Also, the newly opened Honey Birdette store at my local Westfield is pretty great.

 

The top 3 items on my bucket list are 

to trave the world, 

to write a book 

and to send a message in a bottle and get a response. 

Barbara Bui Resort '15

To be honest, I usually do not pay much attention to resort collections. I do not have time or money for holidays at the moment, my last one was a one week trip to Paris which you can see Here. However, I do have a crush on Barbara Bui. The collection features pieces that would be easy to combine with her SS14 collection

This print. Is it tropical? Is it tacky? I think I like it.

This little black ensemble. Chic.

                 

I can very much see myself wearing these pieces. Model Ji Hye Park oozes coolness- love her.

“Black is modest and arrogant at the same time. Black is lazy and easy - but mysterious. But above all black says this: "I don’t bother you - don’t bother me".” ― Yohji Yamamoto

 My current obsession/ favourite trend:

There are a lot of things happening that excite me. I guess the thing I most identify with at the moment is nineties revival, I predicted it years ago and I really enjoy being able to wear clothes that the cool kids were wearing when I was a kid. Doc Martens, denim jacket and round shades and I'm good to go.

I regularly shop at SAXONY or eBay and Thrift stores.

My inspiration:

I get inspired by Vivienne Westwood and Yohji Yamamoto who are my two favorite designers, and I guess that sums up my style pretty well. I love the intersection of East and West, clashing, bold prints, traditional meets punk. When I was younger I had an obsession with dressing like an anime character or a Japanese pop star and I don't think I ever really grew out of that. I still adore that flamboyant, bold style and I admire the power-clashing that Harajuku kids have mastered. 

There's a classic vintage undercurrent to my style. Growing up my parents gave me a very traditional upbringing, more like the 1920's than the 1990's, and their style is still imprinted from that time. I remember watching my dad get dressed up in a grey suit and brogues and that image of a classic gentleman is an ideal I continue to strive for today. I've been very to have a lot of very close friends who have amazing style and strong opinions about aesthetics and fashion and every day I learn something new about a style, a designer or a movement from them and I integrate all of these things into my own personal style, as tiny brush stokes into a complete painting.

Aurelia Bode- model, cat lover, people enthusiast

Personally, I believe that whatever you put into something is what you get back from it- whether it is work, art or a relationship, so I always try to do my best. I really want to be more positive and achieve more this year, which is one of the reasons I wanted to launch ‘we bode’. I love people, especially ones that try to be creative and I believe in fairness. Just because someone is deemed important, their opinion is not neccessary more valid than anybody else’s.

When I started modelling i had very low expectations, and whenever someone asks me how I got so successful, I laugh- I used to work three jobs in London and I still haven’t completely figured out what I want to do with my life.
