Behind The Scenes

When critically acclaimed local singer and songwriter Lu Cozma asked Frock&Roll to help her out with some outfits for a photoshoot, we jumped at the chance.

The Lovely Lu

Lu’s first album RED interweaves the rootsy genre of folk with the hook of pop music, with her compelling vocals dextrously moving from soft and seductive to ballsy and impassioned. After chatting to Lu we also found out her style matches her music; she mixes a lot of different influences to make a look very much her own.

After choosing a number of outfits between us, we came up with a selection of different styles from a variety of eras to create an eclectic mix of unique and edgy pieces. Lu also picked a number of individual headpieces and a top hat from Reading based Adrienne Henry Millinery to finish off a number of the looks.

The shoot was assisted by make-up artist Amy Brandon (who some of you will have met at the make-up and hair workshop) and shot by the fantastic photographer Tara Taylor.  Amy and Tara are also both locally based; Lu very much felt it important to collaborate with creative and talented individuals from her own town.

Team Cozma

The shoot took place just outside Reading on a weekend in early July - luckily on one of the few dry days - and some really good looks were produced. As most of the pictures are under wraps, we can’t show you any of the final images yet … as soon as we can we will.  But, for now, here’s a sneak peak of a shot ...
