This was the second season that I’ve styled for Jasper Garvida but it was his first catwalk show at London Fashion Week! The collection was art deco inspired using silks, knit, cashmere and of course Jasper couldn’t resist his signature style and embelished a few of the looks!
Jasper thinks big, there were over sixty pieces in his collection which we edited down for the show. There are layers, and hats and gloves – lots of work for the dressers and about 3 or 4 changes for the models so it’s a busy back stage. Everyone knows what they’re doing and what’s expected of them so it always runs quite smoothly.
Lan Nguyen created the make up look inspired by 1920’s with a modern feel, creating a matte base with beautiful eyebrows and rich coloured lips.
The call time for most shows is usually about 4 hours before show time. This gives hair and makeup just enough time get the models ready. There is also a run through before the show so that that models know what they are doing and the music can be played. If there are any clothing or model changes we try to fit it in between hair and makeup! Most of my work is done before the actual show, the running order of the models and who’s wearing what etc. You just have to be prepared that anything can happen on the day and make sure everything runs smoothly!

This past fashion week has been my busiest one yet. Between NY and London I headed up 9 shows and assisted on 6! All in all it was another wonderfully exhausting couple of weeks.
If I could sum up the major trend between them all, it would be the season of the bushy eyebrow! Brows were a key player on various shows from Alice Palmer to Elliot Frieze. They were pushed up and the hairs were gently drawn in to Brooke Shields in the 1980’s style proportions… think Julia Robert’s brows when she first appeared in the film-Mystic Pizza. I think it gave the male models this season a real sexy Robert Pattison in Twilight feel. In Stefan Orschel-Read’s LFW show all of the male models brows were filled in and extended to have a slight samurai warrior feel.
This great news for those who dread their monthly eye brow wax… just let them grow and keep them as animalistic as you like!

I hardly got to see any shows this season but I did manage to catch Esprit de Corps ready to wear collection by Horace. I really enjoyed their show (designers Adam Entwistle and Emma Hales ). I loved the wigs and the clean ghostly skin.
Signature sculpted leather panels were featured throughout the collection mixed with tailored cashmere wool and crepe pleats, this season everything seemed a bit more refinfed, more luxurious. I loved the colours and the prints, it’s quite easy to wear this collection. I want the leggings and jackets, you know you’d just wear them to death. I love garments that you can just throw on and look cool – effortless without pretention.

I love styling for Alice Palmer, I’ve styled shows for several seasons and each year everything just keeps getting stronger and stronger! Alice is a very cool girl and I don’t know of many knitters who use a draping technique or who are quite sculptural – this is not your grandmother’s knitwear!
We don’t tend to think of knitwear as cool or edgy but Alice has managed to do just that. She used over 2000 studs in this collection – which was inspired by Batman! The studded tights make the collection look very edgy and even some of the shoes have been studded – but there are many ways to wear these dresses. They really can go from day to night. Also the separates can easily be incorporate into ones wardrobe – update your favourite boyfriend jacket with a knitted skirt, or try a cape over skinny jeans! Ooh, I can’t wait for all these looks to go into production!

I just love working William Tempest. This is his third season at London Fashion Week, showing at Vauxhall Fashion Scout.
The collection is beautiful, very red carpet and also easy to wear. Many of Wil’s dresses have a hidden corset so they nip you in at the waist – you feel strong, powerful, sexy…and yet slightly vulnerable…William’s designs are multi-dimensional in so many ways.
