Accessorize Your Summer

16sixty accessories are an absolute must this summer. Our new range of earrings and necklaces are proving to be hot items and we're updating the collection week by week. When it comes to accessories, a girl can sometimes overdo the blingish necessaries. And of course if you don't have a disposable 100 grand for the hoped for diamond studded-gold-celebrity bling, our collection will certainly appeal to your sense of fashion and style.

16sixty Star Models

Sophie is a new up and coming model who did a photo-shoot for us at 16sixty and we were really thrilled to take her through a dynamic session that yielded some great photos. The great thing is that every model we work with has their own unique look, which is essential to bring out a sense of style whether on a catwalk or in print.

We look forward to working with Sophie again in the very near future and wish her the very best in her modelling career. 

If you think you would like to model for us then contact us at 16sixty and we'll arrange a shoot for you.

Fashion Passion

Behind the scenes at 16sixty

I'd just like to say a real big warm welcome to Verity and Joshua who've just joined us here at 16sixty. They're our new photographers, Video makers and marketing assistants who're going to be coming up with great ideas that will definitely see 16sixty up there among the best of the best.

Behind the scenes, we're busy getting the new seasons items in as summer is definitely on its way, (despite the tendency for the great British weather to throw a spanner or two in the works occasionally).

We're just getting ready for a major photo-shoot at the end of the month so we're all excited to get some new hot models and hot photos. Interested in taking part? Let us know.

The Beauty Game

      Is Keira Knightley the new Audrey Hepburn?

Or is such a question hopelessly outdated? Can we really compare the quality of beauty of a woman like Marilyn Monroe to that of Grace Jones? (Both being powerful symbols of not just beauty but sexiness and sensuality for good measure) or maybe even Angelina Jolie to Dolly Parton, (albeit a younger version of Dolly, bless her little pink rhinestone heart).

 We can go on and on about comparisons between beautiful women but eventually we have to come back down to the bottom line - what does beauty mean.  Does it have a tangible meaning beyond our vanity driven world and if so what is the meaning of something as nebulous as a perfect face, body and so on? And should we subscribe to such narrow views as propagated by Hollywood and celebritydom.

Despite what some might want to get off on, in my world at any rate, beauty is an expression of an idealised state of mind and not just about a Marilyn nose, Joliesque lips, or a Knightley body. It has something to do with how you walk, the things you say and the light that sparkles in a person's eyes that says, 'somebody is home' and maybe, importantly, beauty is being able to appreciate and to express something that connects you and me to everything else. Therefore beauty can be seen in context of wider circles and not just our own personal circle of vanity for 1.

Beauty is ephemeral and because of its nature, it changes like the seasons. However, it is just that we sometimes can't seem to change and adapt to new models of beauty at times. 

16sixty New Season New Styles 

Blonde or Brunette?  That's the question...

It's not just celebs like Rhianna, but have you ever gotten real fed up of your hair colour and felt too frightened to make the change? There's a lot of useful and easy to use hair dyes and colours out there on the market but it can be quite daunting without the help of an expert hairdresser. Take my sister, the other day she came in excitedly with the idea of adding blonde tint to her hair and before you know it, rushed into the bathroom with a small packet of hair 'stuff'. I half expected the shriek of dismay when it came echoing downstairs. "My hair"! she wailed. I suppressed the laughter, as best I could.

There goes her Rhianna wannabe blonde hair. Why bother with all the fuss and mess when you can sit relaxed in your hairdresser's chair and let him do all the hard work. Then, you have someone to scream at if it all goes wrong. At least that's my take on it anyway.

 

Posh Not Ordinary

Posh Not Ordinary

Whether you can afford to buy a frock from Victoria Beckham's vogueish fashion collection or not, one thing is for sure, she's certainly raking it in. Her new collection (like the last one) doesn't seem to consider ordinary folk outside the realms of celebrity-ville who might be unable to shift the obligatory bulge or two that comes with not having a perfect, pencil thin, super-model shape. There's fashion for the ordinary and then there's fashion for celebrities and style chasers who can fork out a casual four or five grand for a frock that will probably be worn two or three times and then relegated to the wardrobe of fashion disasters dustbin.

Still, that's what high fashion brings to the table; choice on what to spend your money on, if you can afford it.
