Ok ok, I know I said I wouldn’t leave it so long again but you will have to cut me some some slack…it has been a hectic few weeks!
I’ve been busy with various jobs, including one for the prestigious Instituto Marongoni graduate show! My outfit was so incredible! - An edible dress….yes, that’s right, fashion that’s good enough to eat! Walking the catwalk in it’s beautiful pastel layers of edible paper, I felt like something out of a Greek play and as guests were invited to eat from my dress at the end of the show, I feared it could end up a tragedy! haha
After the show, there was the obligatory schmoozing with lots of fashion folk, drinking champagne and trying not to overdo it with the canapés!
It was lovely to see some model friends and photographers. I was happy to finally meet the talented Mr Gene Kiegel, who subsequently used me for some work the following week. (it’s all about connections!
)
I also had a fun shoot for the young and hip The Cut magazine - so keep your eyes peeled for me in the next issue…I think it’s out this month.
My networking event was a big success…. lots of fashion industry faces were there and I’m pretty sure everyone had a good time. Here I am at the beginning of the evening, having a look through photographer, Nick Delaney’s portfolio. He’s good!
Yesterday, I was shooting the lookbook for superstar designer, Orla Savage. Straight out of one of the world’s leading fashion and design schools (Central St Martins), Orla is set to be a BIG hit! My goodness, the clothes were incredible. She’s a knitwear designer but if you’re picturing neutral coloured, catalogue cardigans, you couldn’t be more wrong! Her collection is all about bright bright colour, vibrance, femininity and… sheep. Back at home in Ireland, she found sheep skulls laying around in the fields and decided to cover them with jewels and use them as headpieces to go with her designs! Seriously, I never thought I’d wear a sheep skull on my head but I guess you can never know what to expect in this industry! ha. I really can’t wait to see those pics. I think they’re going to be stunning!
Here’s a pic of one of her outfits on the catwalk a few weeks ago (modelled by the gorgeous Wei Lin)….
See the horns?—-REAL!! ha
Apart from work, I’ve also been hunting for a new home and I finally think I’ve found one! Look out North London - here comes Miggy!!
woopwoop.
