At the APM fashion show I met fashion designer Mutsa. It was great to meet an aspiring designer who had the same dreams and ambitions as myself. We met up for coffee after the event and talked fashion, ideas and did a bit of market research at Spitalfields market.
Mutsa had been planning a fashion and cocktail party to be held a week before London Fashion week. She asked me to showcase my designs along side hers in the show.
The event was at the Hilton CourtHouse Hotel on Great Marlborough Street. I arrived with my friend and model Christian. In the foyer the models, make up/ hair artists, stylists and photographers were waiting. The hotel receptionist led us to the make up area and cat walk room. We set up tables and began model fittings, hair and make up. The show was to start at 830 so we had all afternoon to get all ten models dressed, styled and a routine for the catwalk.
There event had a great list of entertainment for the evening from a comedian presenter, DJ to a local female guitarist and aspiring rapper. There were stalls in the corridor to the main room where designers were selling their jewellery and accessories, there was even a stall where you could have eye lash extensions.
A Big thanks to Rico Ed Photography for documenting the evening.
And not forgetting the behind the scenes/ back stage images :)
Thanks to everyone involved; models, dressers, hair stylists, make up artists, photographers, videographers. The night was quiet but a great experience and so much fun.
