I love how Rookie uses models that aren’t necessarily classically beautiful. Another excellent photo shoot.
these photos and clothes are amazing! i really love #9, 15, and 19 :)
Too sool for words. Another spectacular job by Eleanor!!
Sorry I meant to say cool
Sool works.
Here’s some of the headpieces and hearts I made for the shoot
The photos look so so so lovely elle!! xxx
ahh these are so good
7 reminds me of valentines day so much!
great shoot
oh my gosh mirren i love those pictures!!!! i still want to take pictures of the things we didn’t manage to include (is the lollypop headdress still intact?)
aww thanks, glad you like :) I had to take some shots of them for school art.
IT IS!! Sweet shoot?!!? xx
oooh i like, very harajuku lolita
Yup, I definitely see some Sweet Lolita influence too, especially with the heart jumpsuit and the apron dress. Which just made it even more awesome don’t you think? :)
You are crazy talented!
Why wasn’t I invited to this lovely prom/teaparty?
Love this so much <3
BTW who made the drawings? very lovely!
i did! when i’m not taking pictures i’m often hunched over a sketchbook, creating these little watercolour scribblings reminiscent of a five year old child’s!!
oh wow, those shoes are gorgeous omg why oh why is meadham kirchhoff so expensive );
because its designer!! but you can buy a bear tshirt for about £150 i suppose thats cheap if you save up a couple of months :)
this is an awesome photoshoot! i love the theme, and the set and clothes. plus the SHOES are rad (did i really just say “rad”?!)
oh, if i could get my hands on Meadham Kirschhoff. I just wrote a post about how inspired I am by this collections and cupcakes and hearts and children in general! What a coinky-dink, rookie! (the fact that I use words like coinky-dink makes me charming right?)
this is the post, if you’re interested:
Eleanor, did you do those drawings? They’re so cool!
yeah i did! i always sketch out my pictures before taking them :)
I’m officially crushing on you right now!
I wish my prom was like this :c
Shoooot those are some fantasmic pom pom tights. Fabric glue?
I actually sewed on the pom poms individually because I wanted to wear them after the shoot, I took beyond ages to do, I’ve been wearing them to school this week :) x
Love! I would like to see a bit more body diversity, although Rookie is doing a better job than any “fashion” magazine. Gahh I wish I had all these clothes!
HAIR ENVY
FACE ENVY

so insanely jealous of the girl who got to wear the heart jumper, that was my favorite look in the whole showwww
aww they are so easy to make though! just have a go yourself, I made a dress like it because i loved it so much take a look its not that good but still reminds me of Meadham Kirchhoff,
oh my gosh that’s so cool!!!
#10 had to be the prettiest shot with the most gorgeous background and the cutest model! :) UGH I want the outfits sooo much
Love these! The school dance vibes are working for me and the silver tinsel is making me so happy for some reason! Numbers 12 & 20 are so pretty!

(let me know what music means to you!)
Hello elle! Love your work! Just wanted to know how you get the photos for your inspiration board? Do you just print them out or do you get them printed at a store? Thanks!
thanks! i just cut things from magazines and print pictures out on my rubbishy home printer mostly. sometimes i stick in polaroids or family photos too! and then i do all the paintings myself.

I love the atmosphere of this photoshoot, it’s so whimsical.
