Celebrity Stylist, Phillip Boon hosts Collins234 VIP Night

Last night was all about simplistic and elegant style at Collins234 VIP night. I was invited to capture and mingle with a fashionable crowd, and hear from one of Australia’s leading stylist Philip Boon and fashion blogger/writer Sarah Kempson from Style Emporium on what’s on trend this season – chunky necklaces, woolly capes, ankle boots and monochrome outfits. It’s all about keeping it simple and classy. Who knew that monochrome also included color blocking (not just black and white)! My favourite new tip is to use your tie as a cravat – I’ll like to see Matt Preston try that! My favourite outfit of the night was the grey jersey dress and that purple handbag from SABA is just divine!

Thank you Collins234 for having me!

New move, New York inspired

Forgive me. I’ve been so carried away with photography work that I haven’t managed to find time to sit down and write something. Anyway I’ve got some exciting news – I just recently moved photography studios – New York inspired creative loft which screams ME. White wash walls, high ceilings and a huge shooting space with natural light!

My new location is 2/2 Theatre Place Canterbury VIC 3126. I promise I will share some pics, but do visit me and my team at Finessence Photography!

 

Anyway, here’s the sneaky peek of Jess Dempsey at 33 weeks from What Would Karl Do in this amazing number from Boohoo.com. Mind you, this isn’t maternity wear too!

Raven beauty shoot

Madam Virtue & Co. and I were recently commissioned by a hair and makeup artist, Angelica Prado to create four unique beauty looks for her hair and makeup portfolio. The shoot had an amazing energy of creativity and we had an absolute ball coming up with “Italian Vogue” worthy looks. Here a few sneaky frames and behind the scene shots. There are more outrageous and quirky images to come but let’s just start with the appetiser.

All images are commissioned and copyrighted by Karen Woo. Please do not use without written consent, thank you.

Here’s April getting her hair and makeup done by Angelica for the tribal look.

Here’s Dean, our wonderful stylist from Madam Virtue & Co.

All the garments you see here are all available to purchase from his beautiful boutique store here.

Last and not the least, our team photo!
