Getting ready for London Fashion Week

Early Sunday morning, I really should be in bed but I haven't finished my to-do list yet :( there's just not enough hours in the day. There's a skirt I really need to finish for our show at Fashion Mavericks during London Fashion Week this February but I got a bit distracted looking at the behind the scenes pictures from our shoot on Thursday.

We went over to Battersea Park in London to shoot our Spring/Summer 09/10 collection (if you will, technically it's just our first 16 pieces). E and I, my friend Andie, our hair/makeup artist; the model Tope from Mahogany Model Management; photographer Kitty Gallannaugh and her assistant Nathan met at the park bright and early and battled with Mother Nature and nosy passer-bys to get the best shots for our portfolio. I'll put up the final pictures when I receive them but here are some of the behind the scenes shots:
















Thanks to all for a great day - our first professional photo shoot was amazing! Now we can send out our press release for our show using professional pictures :D For a video montage with more pictures check out this YouTube link.

Also speaking of LFW, my acceptance email came in yesterday! Now all I'm waiting for is my press pass to arrive and I'm going to be hitting up all those shows (well after ours is over, obviously)


Sweet dreams all
*kisses*

Chicken Ceaser and Jammie Dodgers

First day back at SB HQ today after the long break. It was quite a hectic day, plus I think my brain had to get used to the bombardment again, but it was fun. I missed the crew and we had some new interns as well. We had lots of catching up and updating to do and organising calendars and travel plans for the upcoming fashion weeks: NYC, London, Milan and Paris - what a hectic few weeks it's going to be.

In the evening Amy, our Art Director brought the flat plan of the next issue of SB (the content which was put together and layed out by yours truly) for us to ogle at. It was beautiful. And yes I know that it just the print out and not the actual issue itself but it was still exciting.

Then I got sent a video link by Sola (of MMM) from Top Model of Colour which we sponsored and the first two outfits the girls are modelling are ours!! The video's here

Also today I confirmed an interview I'm conducting with Njide Ugboma of Let Them Eat Cake Magazine for Sketchbook Mag on Wednesday and should also be meeting Robin Derrick of British Vogue late this week or early next. Good day huh? I'm uber excited!

Good night lovelies, and also please support the Haiti Earthquake Appeal if you can.
