Hi everyone and welcome back to another post. Unfortunately I have my exams coming up in a few weeks so blog posts will be becoming less frequent (as is the case with this one). However I will try my best to get posts out regardless!

The shoot took place at The Manchester Library which is great minimalist location with modern takes on more traditional architecture which was great! Exploring the city opens up amazing new spots to shoot at which I enjoy every time I go out to the city (almost every weekend haha)

The outfit I went for on the day once again had some colour to it! On top we have an olive longline tee from Asos (the usual), then I had on a new camo hoodie from Topman. id been tracking a camo over piece for a while and this hoodie was exactly what i was looking for, I wanted a hoodie with no draw strings and to have the overlapped from section of the hood (You'll understand when you see the pictures haha) and this fit the agenda perfectly, as well as being very affordable!. Another piece id been hunting for ages but never actually pulled the trigger on was a denim jacket. I found this one again in Topman for a reasonable price, BUT, I didn't want to keep it plain and 'ordinary' so the second I got home I took scissors to it (very hastily) and it turned out great! 

On the bottom half I decided to use some different jeans for a change opposed to my biker jeans you've been seeing for the past I don't know how many posts and I came across some brand new MDV (very) distressed jeans in my wardrobe. So well.. why not try them with this outfit! The combination of distressing on top of the outfit works simultaneously well with the bottom half. Although the jeans do have lots of small horizontal rips going across the front of the jeans they still work very well instead of say a traditional knee rip. Finally two standard pieces to finish off the look, my trusty Supreme hat and Rick Owens sneakers which are still destroying my feet...If you have any insole recommendations please let me know as I can't find any that fit the odd shape of the shoes sole!

Thank you for dropping by on this one, it meant a lot to me did this shoot as i finally got to do a proper non-rushed shoot with John as well as meet his incredibly talented photographer Farhan. So give them a follow on Instagram (link down bellow) and myself if you haven't already!

Once again thanks for the support and following, see you again soon.

Greg.

Hello everyone I hope you've had a good week, I know I'm becoming slightly behind with the blog posts so be expecting another blog post tomorrow evening as well so I can catch up.

Trying to find a nice variety of shooting spots can sometimes prove rather difficult, and to keep the picture looking fresh and the audience draw in takes time to find the right place. The balance of keeping a minimal and clean background whilst not looking boring is a hard skill to get right and as a new blogger I'm still learning about this. This shoot was done in central Manchester at the fountains at the end of Deansgate  Unfortunately they weren't active when I was there but we made do the best we could.

Ive always been a fan of Virgil Abloh and his now deceased brand 'Pyrex Vision'. It was brought to my attention with the slight help of Kanye wearing it and it becoming a huge icon in the streetwear world. However when it died it came back rebranded as 'Off White C/O' and I forgot about it. Now its returned bigger and even better with it new collection and I'm absolutely in love with the brand.

The outfit consists of primarily black with small mounts of white or Rick Owens calls it 'milk'. With the bold Off White T-shirt on top and being one of the main centre pieces I need some shoes to equally be as eye catching. The perfect shoe for the job was my Geobaskets from Rick Owens, this very loud yet subtle leather masterpiece literally shouts luxury. With a full leather upper, metal zipper and exaggerated tongue the sneaker fits great with the bulky outfit.

Unfortunately I couldn't afford the Off White jumper so instead decided to get the t-shirt in the largest size possible and layer it over a jumper, the obvious choice was the black hoodie from MDV and a simple scooped hem tee from Topman. Finished with some of MDV's new and updated biker denim and a Supreme Hat.

I love this clean and minimal outfit, with small hints of boldness through the sneakers and t-shirt I feel it could fit in whether your in the city or your local town. Tell me what you think of this look and have a good rest of your sunday! Back to school and work tomorrow :(

See you tomorrow on the next post.
Greg.
