Alex Box is a rare talent. Lots of make up artists dream of doing cool, edgy colourful make up but they never quite succeed. It often can look over done, or try-hard or just plain wrong. It’s a very fine line bewteen what is beautiful and ugly. I’ve worked with Alex over the years and every show she worked on she takes the collection to the next level.
Whenever Alex was working backstage with her team you could hear a pin drop as they were hanging on her every word.
Check out Illamasqua make-up, created by Alex Box and if you’re a makeup artist and need to be inspired it’s worth checking out Alex Box by Rankin.
I took this picture of Alex backstage at Vauxhall Fashion Scout.

Mei-Hui Liu of VIctim always does an incredible show. She works with the same people that she has for years – she very loyal and her friends are very loyal to her. Dejan Cekanovic and Dirk Walther from Premier did the hair. Alex Box from D&V Management did the make-up – every year she just does something amazing. It’s not surprizing that she’s coming out with her own line of make-up in November of this year.
This collection is fun and playful. Bright fun colourful tutus with Victorian jackets and the coolest shoes and gloves that you’ll ever see.
Natasha Marro has become shoe designer extraordinarie, you’ll see her in Italian Vogue and on the feet of some of the coolest people

Victim is one of my favourite shops. Most of Victim’s dresses are one of a kind, so they are very distinct and recognizable. They are made with vintage silks and lace: you feel very sexy and feminine when you wear them. Everything is designed by Mei-Hui Liu, a dear friend of mine.
Peaches Geldof was in Mei-Hui’s shop Thursday after shooting at Concrete – another very cool shop on Marshall Street. As reported in The Sun, The Mirror and The Daily Mail, after Peaches left Mei-Hui realized a dress was missing and called Peaches’ management. The dress was later returned and then paid for and a receipt was given. The dress was originally the feature piece for an upcoming fashion show.

So many people ask me why I moved to London. It’s a normal question but really it seems silly: I can’t imagine where else I’d like to be, although there are moments when I’d love to be in NYC. Right now, today, I can’t imagine being anywhere else but in London – I love London fashion! When I need to be inspired or just go somewhere that feels like home I go and visit Mei Hui in her shop Respiro. She’s just recently moved around the corner to 33 Marshall Street, London W1F 7EX. It’s a lovely new shop and I want everything in it!
