LONDON FASHION WEEK LONDON FASHION WEEK LONDON FASHION WEEK BABYYY!!

London Fashion Week kicked off in full style, with designers, celebrities, interns and all the other 'important people' attending the Vauxhall Fashion Scout Party in the Freemasons Hall in Holborn. Everyone likes to think of themselves as a 'celebrity' or they like to feel as if they are 'known', but that doesn't really interest me, all I want to do, is get my job done and make sure the overall presentation of the show goes well, as that is my job (no pressure at all right) :)

Like last season I worked for the same two designers again. Masha Ma and BodyAmr.

The Masha Ma show was on Sunday 20 February 2011. Hair and make-up was in full swing from 8am, even though the show was not scheduled to begin until 12:45 pm.

Tired was an understatement of how I was feeling that Sunday morning, the night before I was in the studio till 1am people, yes thats right 1am and I'm not even the designer.

Back stage was MANIC as usual, everyones running around, interns are looking confused, bloggers, photographers and magazine companies are shoving their cameras and mics left, right and centre and the designer is puffing 20 cigarettes to beat the nerves anddddd on top of it all, you have Lady Gaga's 'Bad Romance' booming in the background (headache).

As I finish steaming the clothes, I give a brief to the intern dressers who look clueless, as I tell them how to put the red skin tight boots on the models and the detail that they need to pay close attention to, when the models are actually in the clothing. As I'm a perfectionist (in fashion of course), I repeat my brief one more time, to see the confused faces, turn to nodding of heads and smiles (a positive response i hope, fingers crossed). 20 minutes after my brief and it's show-time. Masha Ma's Autumn/Winter 2011 collection is ready to be unveiled for the world to see.
