\"\"<\/a>\u2018Tis a new year and I felt the blog needed a new look for it\u2019s 5th year. Inspiration to blog has not come easily since I became a parent. My priorities have shifted so greatly that Random Fashion Coolness naturally took a back seat. So here I take tentative steps to beginning again\u2026<\/p>\n

I wanted to look at women who seemingly have it all. In the thick of the chaos that was my return to work, I spotted news of this project<\/a> with Helena Christensen. I love her\u2026or do I hate her\u2026or do I hate that I love her? Clad in sheer fabrics, lingerie and the signature 70\u2019s hue of Guy Aroch, Christensen simmers effortlessly. As I read the post I was sat in a well-worn American Apparel hoodie, joggers and slipper boots by M&S. It wasn\u2019t my finest moment but only served to highlight Christensen\u2019s glory.<\/p>\n

Alongside the genetic superiority that\u2019s quite widely recognised, Christensen\u2019s carved out a respectable career as a photographer. Aside from her work with many well-respected publications and solo exhibitions, she also blogs. Frankie Star<\/a> is a collaborative project with photographer Christy Bush. The common link that brought these two creatives together is the band Interpol; Christy\u2019s husband is Sam Fogarino (drummer) and Helena\u2019s beau is Paul Banks (lead singer.) The blog is beautiful and offers an honest slice of what inspires these two inspired women.<\/p>\n

Lest we forget, Miss. Christensen’s also a Mum. I adore this recent post<\/a> by Mothers\u2019 Meeting featuring a photograph of Helena\u2019s former partner and her son.<\/p>\n

\nThe ambiguity of my feelings towards Helena will no doubt persist especially as she continues to defy the ageing process whilst managing to be so effortlessly cool. Check out Frankie Star<\/a>, Mothers\u2019 Meeting<\/a> and Bloginity<\/a>, for pictures of Guy Aroch\u2019s Un-Titled project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
