Johnny Lazer's January Debut

A fantastic show was had at the Goldust by Johnny Lazer. I had the pleasure of working with him on his costume design which included some of my light up creations. The main piece worn was a white tank with insewn color fields in multicolorings (blue, green, yellow, fuscia). Johnny threw it up his own style by adding in a found vintage yellow baseball pant (with string crotch) and light up boats in reds and yellows that went very well with the soft blues of his upper body.

As always I love to have photos taken both on the evening and post show to show the different sides to the costume pieces but also to present the costume exactly as it was on the evening. The top two photos at the Goldust, were taken by Andrew Harvey (you can see his work at http://arharvey.com/ ) as well as the bottom two of Laura with my light-up glasses creation.

As well Johnny was photographed by Eddie Blagbrough http://www.eddieblagbrough.co.uk/ , in Johnnys flat in central London. Together me and Eddie created a sexy low lit adventure that allowed the costumes and his photography to play out to their best. Johnny wore the light up gauntlet made to be a metaphorical 'lighthouse' to shine out into the audience during his performance.

Finally the lovely Laura Fares, his amazingly talented drummer, wears a pair of my hand made light up glasses. During the performance they both were solid light and flashing to the beat of her drumming, giving her the attention she deserved to highlight her amazing talent. Both Johnny and Laura played an amazing show to great acclaim, and hopefully to promote Johnny to getting signed :) ! A great team to work with, and amazing photographers worked together with me to put these beautiful photos together. Thanks to everyone who helped out.

A Christmas Flurry

A very festive Christmas season has been seen by Jeffrey Michael Design. A whirlwind of fancy Xmas parties have dominated my season thus far this year, most noteably a party by London a la mode http://www.londonalamode.net/ thrown by the fabulous Emma was one of my highlights (photos of Lumnie Santi, my fabulous model, and me).

We had a great time and a great fashion photographer, Paul Linus had an impromtu photoshoot with Lumnie on one of the tables as we all watched with joy. The top two photos of her and her with me are courtesy of him.

Of noteworthy goodness, is that I have been for the last 2 months working with two very talented gentlemen in the London music scene, Donny Slack (above), and Johnny Lazer (sexy blonde below). I am currently working with both boys on some very lovely light-up projects.

The really exciting project is featured top picture. I will be lighting up a military blazer for mister Slack (above) that he will be showing in his upcoming promotion and concerts. He is a great singer and someone I believe to be a future star in the music industry, not only in the UK but internationally. So it is a great honor to be working with someone so talented.

As well the glorious mister Lazer will be having his big gig in January to be announced and I will be continuing to work with him on several costume ideas including light up shoes. He is a crazy rocker, and both of these gents have worked their way into my hearts with alot of great music and fantastic showmanship ! Johnny at Camden was a fantastic show and my first time seeing him perform to my delight.

Through these lovely boys and through my work at Digitaria I have met a never ending rotating door of connections of which include Lady Gaga, U2, Mika, and some very exciting London music scene executives. I have to say it is all at the same time overwhelming and extremely exciting. All of the above mentioned meetings will be happening over January February so I won't say anything until I have them confirmed. Lets just say its going to be big, bold, and beautiful.

Finally some very exciting new is that the Jeffrey Michael Design costume pieces will be featured in the upcoming January issue of "The Cut" which I will link to as soon as it is published. For now im going to put up one teaser photos (to left) from the behind the scenes of me and the lovely model after our very cold outdoor shoot at my studio. The studio is a very old factory building and has underground alleys that we accessed (quite legally hehe !) and is the main reason I snapped up the space. Apparently also there is a roof terrace area (photoshoot!) that is stunning and has a glorious view. TBA for me getting access to that gem !

Ok Merry Christmas and hope everyone is taking a little bit of break. Thanks again to Donny and Johnny !! My sexy lovely musician boys :) !
