My lady is a stylist so with me being an art director we share a LOT of the same interests and references, and can talk work for ages. It's so good because she comes from a much more fashion led place than me and that's where I want my work to go so in the past few years we've been together my work's changed loads, as have the people I've hung ut with (more of her fashion friends, less of my blokey designer nerd friends).
We've worked on some stuff together too, with her as a stylist and creative director and me as a graphic designer.. and earnt some money in the process.
I feel like it would be either a blessing or a curse if she wasn't remotely attached to what I do. She's pushed me way further than i'd have ever gone on my own, and smells a rat in my work a mile off. But sometimes it gets slightly uncomfortable – this week i worked with a stylist for a job – one of her friends – and she was upset that she didn't get to do it..... so rough with the smooth!
