Fashion Shows

My o My! What a rush!

2 shows at the Minories in Colchester

MACs head make-up artist Pablo and his team were amazing and with Toni and Guy doing the hair it was such a winning combination, plus my beautiful models- it just made my collection pop. The whole night was undeniable success with friends and family finally being able adore the hard work, stress and tears. A very exciting night, thats left me on a high. I also really enjoyed capturing all the backstage bustle and fashion show preparations.

GFW

GFW was perhaps the most enjoyable part of the degree, there was so much interest in our stand and it was such an adrenaline rush and a constant high to have interest in my collection. seriously looking forward to new designers... look out for us there!!!

new photoshoot

By having 2 models i felt they could play off each other and it enabled to show 2 looks really allowing my collection to flow. The girls had stronger features, paler and looked just much better- to me the pictures still look a little ammeter, a professional photographer makes all the difference. but they really showcase the clothing and it looks more like fashion shoot rather than a wag shoot.

photoshoot

After doing a photo shoot in a studio, the model was friend of mine (who mainly models for commercial briefs) i did the photography, make-up, hair and styling in studio (another friends studio) I think she look gorgeous and the clothes look great, however together they don'y quite gel. I would like to try again on paler skin as i want a high fashion/ luxury look.

Presentation

The last ever Presentation! was debatably the most nerve racking, I feel I really portrayed my collection, passion, drive, ambition and action plan in a clear concise passionate way. Im just slightly concerned at the rapid speed I can converse in, and will ask for feedback on how to improve in job interview situations.

Arts Thread

As a graduating year we are participating on arts Thread, on online graduate data base representing graudates in the creative arts industry. Hopefully this will boost my profile and possible job prospects.

Robert Cavalli AW 2010

This collection has actually changed my life. Its combines lots of elements that I love showing me how successful a collection can be, its delicate, soft, supple, powerful, structured, feminine, modest and textured, and it AW not SS.
