Working With: Slink Magazine

Black Heart Creatives roots started out in affordable, attainable inclusive jewellery, with the plus size community at the heart of it all. Now whilst that mission statement hasn't changed, the BHC brand has expanded and grown so we found ourselves working and collaborating with a variety of different people.  So its always affirming when we get asked to work with a magazine like Slink, who cater exclusively for Plus Size people. 

Using a combination of our new pastel colours and contrasting neon mirrored, for a colour clash  the editorial piece titled 'desired' can be seen in full in this issue of Slink Magazine, which can be bought in print or digital here, and we recommend if you like plus size fashion that you do!

You can get your own heart collar clips in any of our 40+ colours here, our heart stud earrings in the same choice of colours here, and double stacked custom name earrings in even more colour choices here.

Thanks to Slink for letting me use the photos! Credit also to the following:

Working with: Old Tat Magazine

Last year I got to work with stylist Cherrelle Douglas on a shoot with the brief that was titled 'sweets and candy'.   She thought of me and my Live Fast Die Yum collection and also asked that I make a custom necklace from the cake charms I use for the Cake Queen necklace I also have on my site.

A few months went past and Cherrelle sent me the hi res pictures and a link to the magazine called Old Tat Magazine.  I couldn't believe it, here was my necklace in a beautiful magazine editorial, and not only that, the magazine was awesome too.  Filled with interesting articles about women, and fashion, being represented equally, and these mesmerising editorials.  I have read my fair few high fashion magazine but nothing really ever felt like it spoke to my sense of style like it did in Old Tat.

So I sent my appreciation to Old Tat on instagram like a good little millennial and basked in its glory and that my work was in a magazine.  It was not long after I got an email from the team at Old Tat asking if I would like to work with them again on a cat related issue... obviously I accepted.

We sent off every cat piece we have (which is a lot we realised after packing it all up) and we were once again absolutely blown away with the shoot.  Particularly these ones of our cat ring, nails done by the genius Valentia Syed. 

We were kindly invited to the last issue launch party, however when we moved from London to Bristol missing parties and events was kind of in the deal.  So we sent so brooches along for the goodie bags along with BHC brand ambassador Bethany Rutter to go in our place.  We are told it was a really awesome evening.
