FASHION ICON: Hanneli Mustaparta


BORN IN OSLO, NORWAY, HANNELI WAS SCOUTED IN THE STREET BY A PHOTOGRAPHER FOR THE ICONIC NORWEGIAN FASHION & CULTURE MAGAZINE FJORDE, WHILST STILL AT SCHOOL. IT WAS A MOVE TO PARIS THAT FURTHERED HER MODELLING CAREER AND, AFTER 2 YEARS IN PARIS, PUSHED HER DECISION TO MOVE TO NEW YORK IN 2004. 

Nacida en Oslo, Noruega, Hanneli fue descubierta por un fotógrafo de moda en la calle cuando todavía iba al colegio. Cuando se mudó a Paris fue cuando tomó impulso su carrera como modelo, y 2 años después, se instaló en Nueva York en 2004. 



DURING HER MODELLING CAREER, HANNELI BEGAN TO TAKE AN INTEREST IN STYLING AND MADE A DECISION IN 2008, TO TAKE A STEP BACK FROM MODELLING IN ORDER TO PURSUE A CAREER AS A STYLIST. OVER THE NEXT YEAR, SHE FOUND HERSELF STYLING REGULARLY FOR VARIOUS MUSIC ARTISTS AT SONY MUSIC.

Durante su etapa como modelo, Hanneli se empezó a interesar por el estilismo y en 2008 decidió empezar a trabajar como estilista. Un año después, ya trabajaba con varios artistas de la música en Sony Music. 



IT WAS AT THIS SAME TIME, THAT HANNELI BEGAN DOCUMENTING VARIOUS LOOKS WITH HER OWN CAMERA, GRADUALLY DEVELOPING HER OWN UNIQUE SENSE OF STREET STYLE PHOTOGRAPHY. AS A STYLIST, SHE WAS ASKED TO CONTRIBUTE FOR A NORWEGIAN FASHION MAGAZINE BLOG, WHERE SHE SOON REALISED THE IMPACT HER POSTS HAD, NOT ONLY IN NORWAY, BUT ON AN INTERNATIONAL READERSHIP LEVEL.

En esta época, empezó a documentar distintos looks con su propia cámara, desarrollando poco a poco su propio estilo de fotografía de Street Style. Una revista de moda noruega se interesó entonces por su trabajo y se dio cuenta del impacto que tenían sus posts, no solo en Noruega sino internacionalmente. 


 

IN 2009, HANNELI DECIDED TO SET UP HER OWN BLOG, HANNELI.COM WHERE SHE CONTINUES TO POST A MIX OF HER OWN BEAUTIFUL, STREET STYLE PHOTOGRAPHS AND SELF PORTRAIT SHOOTS.

En 2009, Hanneli decidió crear su propio blog Hanneli.com donde aún comparte una mezcla de sus preciosas fotografías de Street Style así como de sus propios looks. 




IN 2010 HANNELI RECEIVED A CALL FROM VOGUE, ASKING HER TO COME ON BOARD AS A CONTRIBUTING PHOTOGRAPHER TO VOGUE AND VOGUE.COM, FOR WHOM SHE STILL COLLABORATES WITH TODAY.

En 2010 hanneli recibió la llamada de VOGUE para incorporarse como fotógrafa colaboradora en la revista y en la web, donde aún sigue colaborando.

DIY: Distressed Boyfriend Jeans

Inspiration


Inspired by Emilio's latest jeans purchase, we have been busy up-cycling one of his old pairs by giving them a seriously distressed feel. The look is a major summer trend and one which will take you through the long summer months - prefect for trips to the park and nights out. Easy to accomplish, this DIY trick will make you look and feel good - all you need is a boyfriend with a spare pair of jeans!


Keep it simple with a plain blouse or loose tee
Wear your ripped jeans with heels to go for a more feminine look

Or if you're just chilling, pair your jeans with sneakers


How We Did It

To make the rips get hold of some scissors and tweezers - remember the work is in the detail
so pull out those threads with all you've got!

Video
To see how we went about creating the ripped effect, take a look at Rachellea's YouTube tutorial below and have a go yourself!


The Final Result


The finished effect


Tiny frays are cute so why not revamp the pockets too?
