]]> For the last seven years, I’ve been documenting my evolution of form pretty regularly despite nay-sayers from industry who deem the raw human body as unprofessional or whatever. I don’t think you should let anyone tell you that being sexy and intelligent are mutually exclusive – sometimes people might try and bring you down using one or the other as a tool – don’t let them. That said, I’ve been working on myself regularly but have definitely upped the ante in the last few months with a plant-based diet and seeing skin architect and visionary Pietro Simone. I’m proud to share here a series photographed by Aaron P Bergmann at the Royal Lancaster London Hotel.

]]> A couple of months ago, I had the incredible honour of shooting and hanging out with one of London’s finest young creatives, Dan Ellyot. There is something so wonderful about working with your peers creatively and co-producing spontaneous content birthed from ideas shared together.

So right now as I type this, I am texting Dan about what we should call this editorial. We just settled on Hephaestus Reforged – Greek God of Fire plus the idea of phoenix rising (I was leaning towards Kill vs Maim ℅ Grimes, but this works much better!). It certainly fits for where I am right now creatively, and thanks Dan for keeping the title refined at least!

I hope you like the images as much as I do. Dan Ellyot is a very real talent. Make sure to follow his incredible work on Instagram.
