F
or this issue of Vogue, I took a lot of time
finding sources to invest in such an up and
coming designer, but clearly have sourced
some large firms to influence the construction
of this magazine, and I would like to use this
Editor’s Letter to first and foremost to thank
every brand and company and person that
took the time to support me in this venture. A particularly
big thank you goes to Clive Emson Auctioneers for
sponsoring the production of the magazine, and also to
Condé Nast Publications for allowing me to use their title
font. This could not have been possible without this
amazing support.
I would also like to use this space for saying a very
big thank you to Anna Peppitt for being an amazing model
and also to Emma Deverell for being an incredible

for Oliver Gilbert Designs for a length of time. I wish them previous ‘Oliver Gilbert

it, as they are both two of the most beautiful people I model: Katherine Martin,
know, both physically and personality wise. Male model: Oliver Gilbert.

I have had great fun doing this project, although the www.olivergilbertdesigns.bl
research took remarkable length of time and the ogspot.com
production was difficult in such a short period of time, it
has been a lot of work at which the end result has made
the whole process so worth it, and I am grateful to have
been given the opportunity to do this.
Thank you to everyone who has paid compliments
to myself over the year and even those who have criticised
as I have been able to grow from this, especially to Gillian
Hollis - my Nan, who I could always count on to be
honest!
Im going to stop now before I get far too cheesy.

 PHOTOGRAPHER’S LETTER
When Vogue contacted me about the
shoot with Oliver Gilbert Designs, I
couldn’t say yes fast enough. I have
worked with him several times before
and have always had a great response
both on a personal basis and with in our
work. I am glad to be able to give
fashion-goers the opportunity to
capture the same enjoyment as I have
from working with the brand. I have
aspired to work for such a prestigious
magazine for a long time and I am
ecstatic to have the opportunity to have
my work in Vogue, I'm sure this is the
start on a beautiful career for me. The
model (Anna Peppitt) was fantastic, very
easy to work with and a natural in front
of the camera, not to mention a lovable
character to have on set. I love the
clothing in this photo shoot, the whole
experience was very easy-going and
THE ELITE MODELLING enjoyable as it always is working with
