.jpg "Graduate Fashion Week Designers at The Fashion Summit")
Today was the first day of the WGSN Drapers Fashion Summit and I styled a fashion show featuring 6 recent graduate designers. It’s always exciting to work with a graduate collection – it’s very fresh and you can see all the effort that went into the collection and the thought behind it. A graduate collection is different from a ‘fashion week’ collection; it’s usually smaller, maybe 10 pieces – we featured 3 looks from 6 designers. You can really see the development of an idea or technique that the student is working on – and of course the potential!
On the mannequins:
Ume Romaan – De Montford
Rory Longdob – Nottingham
Shivani Chavd – De Montford
Dominique Krai – Northbrook College
Camilla Woodman – Kingston
Parsha Gerayesh-Nejad – Westminister
This is a picture of a few of my dressers backstage – they did such great job. Backstage there was an amazing energy – we all loved the clothes but it was really just true teamwork. It just makes such a difference when you work with a team who has a positive attitude and really wants to do a good job!

Sometimes it’s easy to forget that fashion is actually a business. It’s fun, it’s something we experience, something we wear – but it is a business and fashion people know how to celebrate! Drapers celebrated the 20th Anniversary of the Drapers Awards in association with Vente-privee, and they celebrated in style! The event was beautiful – it took place at One Marylebone, formally the Holy Trinity Church, which was built in 1826-28. There were lots of pink cocktails and canapes to be had. The picture is of the lovely Bunty Stokes of Vente Privee speaking at the event (I love that she looks like a rock star with the lighting).
The Drapers Awards celebrates Fashion Excellence and being shortlisted or winning an award is very prestigious for a brand. The deadline to enter is August 6th.

I was part of a panel at the Drapers Fashion Summit – The Power of the Style Press, with Colin McDowell, Founder & Creative Director of Fashion Fringe, Leon Bailey-Green, online marketing specialist, Courtney Blackman, fashion PR and Lucy Wood of Look magazine and Loretta Roberts (who organizes the Summit) was chairing the panel.
It’s always interesting when people start talking about print versus online media. Somehow people think one will rule out the other. It’s the same fear that retailers and manufactures first had ten years ago about selling online. There were afraid it would ruin their brick and mortar shops, not enhance it. They didn’t realize they could becoming something we take for granted today – multi-channel retailers. The same goes for online magazines. Most print magazines have an online component that attracts a different readership and allows their advertisers a package deal of print and online. As a fashion stylist both print work and online work are very important to me work-wise, and of course as a stylist who blogs I love online media. I can’t imagine one without the other!
