26.08.2010- My Safe Place
Safe is a soon to be published coffee table book which has been created by Emma Thompson in collaboration with photographer Nick Haddow. The book showcases Haddow's beautiful portraits of strong, inspirational women from around the world, photographed in the places that they feel safest and has been developed in order to support The Helen Bamber Foundation. The foundation, established in 1995, works with survivors of human rights violations, and, in their own words, responds with 'compassion and creativity to the legacy of cruelty. We help to mend what was broken in a safe and supportive environment, where restorative relationships enable survivors to feel whole again.'Proceeds from the sale of the book will go towards helping survivors of genocide, trafficking, torture and rape find their own safe places and rediscover both their strength and their voices. In conjunction with the publication of the book, which is also being supported by Chanel, Lady Tina Green and Working Title Films, a travelling exhibition will be launched in late 2010, although details are yet to be confirmed.
Emma Thompson is encouraging women all over the world to get involved with the Safe project by asking them to share their own safe places, via www.mysafeplace.co.uk (although sadly the website is currently down, fingers cross it will be working again soon.)
Here are some of Nick Haddow's stunning images shot for the Safe project:

The list of contributors to the book is enormous; Haddow has photographed everyone from Anne Hathaway to Ziyi Zhang in their chosen safe surroundings, and I'm sure that we'll be hearing a lot more about the project over the coming months, in the lead up to the release of the book in Spring 2011. It's such a fantastic initiative to raise both money and awareness for a cause which is so deserving and worthwhile. Keep your eyes peeled on mysafeplace.co.uk (which will hopefully be back to working order soon) to find out more about the project.
My safe place would probably have to be on the beach in Spain where I spent my holiday this year. I've been going there since I was less than a year old, and it will always have a special place in my heart as it holds so many fond memories, and I'm never happier than when I'm running around like a big kid in the surf.
Where is your safe place?

08.03.2010- Oscars Red Carpet.
My pick of the best from last night's Academy Awards:
Sandra Bullock, winner of the Best Actress award for The Blind Side looking beautiful in Marchesa.
Zoe Saldana in a stunning gown by Givenchy Haute Couture.
Carey Mulligan, best actress nominee for her role An Education in Prada; adore the Mia Farrow-esque haircut.
Anna Kendrick wearing Elie Saab Haute Couture.
Diane Kruger in Chanel Haute Couture. From what I've seen on a lot of blogs/fashion items this morning, many people aren't feeling Diane's dress, but I really like it on her and think that it's a refreshing and chic change from a lot of the oversize ball gowns we often see at events such as the Oscars.
Kate Winslet in Yves saint Laurent.
Rachel McAdams in Elie Saab Haute Couture; I adore the pattern and colours on this dress, and the fitted bodice keeps it from feeling too casual. Kudos to Rachel for, like Diane, trying something different on the red carpet.
What were your favourites?
