LFW Sept 2010
London Fashion Week has been and gone yet again!
Was busy with work and of course had lots of fun, though I somehow ended up with hardly no pictures.. which makes me very very sad! I've been using a film camera, a mini lomography Diana and I managed to ruin it all. This makes me want to permanently revert back to digital but I'm adamant to learn and use film.. cos they look cool! Also I've managed to waste quite a few polaroids and this is quite costly too falling just below £1 per film so again :(
Fashion East womenswear and Henry Holland were the only ones I managed to watch. I could not believe shows were happening at the old Eurostar terminal at Waterloo! I was literally 5 minutes walk away from work the day Mary Katrantzou and Richard Nicoll showed and I could've papped some beautiful people with my film camera which probably would've been a waste cos I ended up ruining it anyway. Oh well hey-ho.
I attended a few events Eley Kishimoto's Flash-on Night, Sheer magazine launch party and also helped out at Orschel-Read show as well as various exhibitions. Got to meet some lovely people!
And here are some of my fave collections during LFW for SS11...

Burton McQueen
I finally found my Notebook of Tim Burton Illustrations for Alexander McQueen- which went missing for a while!!! This is pretty amazing as I'm a huge fan of the two, saw it on eBay couple of years ago and just had to get it.
This is the actual invitation for McQueen's A/W 2002 show which took place at La Conciergerie- where Marie-Antoinette was imprisoned before getting her head chopped off!

Mooore shooting!!
Bang!
Well I haven't been updating as frequently as I'd like to but I have been quite busy lately which I like. I still have to put up amazing pics of a few styling I've done recently but for now I shall wow you with behind the scene low-quality phone camera pics!
So first with Luke Nugent continuing our Perfect Strangers and my Graduate Class of 2010 Editorial, we shoot around South Bank Centre.
Then a week later on Sunday we were suppose to do Shinsuke Mitsuoka lookbook but couldn't get a studio in time so we made it happen on Thursday night.
I was pretty excited working with Shins collection as I loved it (still do) when I saw his work during Graduate Fashion Week. Shoot went pretty well and got some great pics but a tad rushed in the end as Shin had to take last train to Nottingham and I was worried he wouldn't make it home!! Geoff drove like a madman around London to drop Shin and the lovely Samantha from D1 who modeled for us.
I shall be posting pic soon- well I say soon but I don't know how soon... one day.. soon! Many thanks to Tano too who provided us with great hair and Make-up.

Class of 2010 sneak peak
Well the shoot went well with Ludovic Des Cognets - there were a few annoying hiccups to begin with... last minute cancellations & no show was most irritating, a bit of bad weather but generally it was great! One thing I definitely need now is an actual full time assistant. Anyone interested get in contact.
So here are some of sneaky behind the scene shots of the day courtesy of Samantha Mark who assisted me on the day.
Can't wait to post the actual pics!!! These are just taken on a mobile phone and not doing much justice. Now tomorrow is one with Luke Nugent were doing mostly menswear as my model on Thursday didn't show up so i didn't get to do menswear!
Looking forward to it but my head hurts all day as I think I'm experiencing my first ever hangover.

I'm high!!
I'm ecstatic!! I'm elighted... what ever it is I feel like having a heart attack cos my heart feels joyous and almost can't handle it- I'm perpiring like hell because of this- most probably due to this heat!
Yaaaay I'm having such a great day so far... just heard from a long lost friend from Japan and she's visiting this August and another friend will be visiting in September -fun times ahead!!
The day is shining and hot and will be the same tommorrow for a surprise bday day out for a friend. Attending two- not 1 but 2 bday do's today then off to see my love and can't wait to cruise in his new car!

GFW 2010
Well I'm a little late on updating but here's my quick Graduate Fashion Week coverage! I attended only 2 Uni shows this year and those were UCA Epsom (my Uni) and Nottingham Trent although I think all in all this year wasn't as great as the past couple years- there are still some amazing work out there so I thought I'd share some of my favourites.
First UCA Epsom, I was mostly blown away by the menswear design graduates. I did take some photo's myself but most of them weren't very good as I borrowed my boyfriends more 'professional' camera thinking I'll have some great photo's but in the end it was too complicated for me to play with settings- i just wanted a point, snap and click dammit I was rather annoyed so I've grabbed pics from the world wide web instead!!

NOTTINGHAM TRENT
I just loved what I saw on their stand so I somehow got myself a free ticket for the show and managed to sit front row and got myself a Paul Smith perfume!!!- only knowing this amazing freeby after I left the show otherwise I would've been grabing those extra goody bags- Im a sucker for freebies!!
Just before the show I watched Tinie Tempah perform- I must say I do actually really like his songs. Anyway... I love Shinsuke Mitsuoka punk rock attitude collection below reminiscent of Gareth Pugh!! The reason why I wanted to see this Uni's show in the first place.
Shinsuke Mitsuoka
Nottingham Trent also had some cool knitwear designers my favourite would be Heewon Park. Samantha Brooke and Phoebe Thrilwall also created some fine intricate knitwear.

Well Friday night and the whole of Saturday was random and great!! Had a grand time around Waterloo with the GfK clan which resulted in some amazing photos, fights, sunrise, morning by the London Eye, tate modern, lunch by the river, an afternoon sermon at St Pauls Cathedral and then finally home.
The lovely Jode from work bought me a book on Fashion & Textiles - The essential careers guide which is a must for any budding fashion designer as it gives you an in-depth review on all aspects involving in the fashion industry- so its definitely worth a look!
Its a shame that I didn't have my digi cam with me at the time as i saw some cool views and great opportunities for a photo. St Pauls Cathedral was beautiful inside but religion is reaaallly not for me!
Friday Fun..
I hate the fact that I got conned with buying these Polaroids with alcohol ads on them on eBay a while ago but I thought that night was appropriate to use them.
