LONDON FASHION WEEK 22nd -24th feb 2009 A/W

Well what can I say the most amazing exprices I have ever had the opportunities to do. I would defiantly want to do it agen and even help with the clothes show live.

Day one: traveling up on the Friday 20th I stayed at my uncle Darren’s who lives 45mins from the center of London so I need to get the tube in.

Day two: our first day up at 4:30 ready to be there at 6:00. Was nervous but mostly excited, it was my first ever London fashion week experience. We walked in to the sciences museum we got our wrist bands and got the lift up to the back stage area, where we were shown around the back stage and front of house area and the catwalk. After that we got stuck right in with bring up all the excitement, ect. We must have spend most of the time bring up things, like the 100 and 100 of bottles of water. Once all the things had been brought up i started to make the goody bags for the on/off presents. We made over 200 bags 100 normal goody bags and 100 VIP goody bags. They had goody like belts and Marc Jacobs daisy perfume. We finished our day at 4:00 once everything was set up and ready to start Sunday. With the first catwalks.

Day three: up agen at 4:30 for 2 segued shows to dress for. 9:45 Falguni & Shane peacocks and 3:30 krystof strozyna. There was a lot of waiting around between show and models getting the hair and make-up done but I did what I could to help by getting teat and coffee tidying making sure the models where happy. We were then allocated a model watched there fitting to see how everything went on and then waited around until they where ready to go. I was so nevus for my first dressing. Question like would i dress them quick enough? Will I damage any off the clothes? What if I put it on wrong? In the end the show went to with out a hitch. If was well organized on both parts on/off and the designers. I felt very please and like I had achieved something i never thought i would every achieve. I had to simple strapless dresses very simple no tights and shoes that fitted unlike a lot of the other models so they were ease and simple to put on. The collection was bight, heavily jeweled with very heavily influences of India where the two designers are from. After the show I tidy up help take the designers clothes to the car and wanted around till the next set of hair and stylist were in and models where being preped. The designer Krystof Strozyna show did not go so smoothly as the first one, I felt the pressure and the stress that the designer was on and his team. There were not enough shoes to go around the model and in fact cased a huge problem when the show went on. There was a lot of shoe swapping and confusion but the designers still smiled and carried on and thanked every one at the end of it and although it didn’t not go smoothly he still has pleased and I did not expect that I expect a lot more angry and upset. Over all the day was a grate experience and showed both good and not so gate side of back stage. I helped tidy and clean up for the next set of models and stylist in and went home at 5:00.

Day four: a lay in getting up at 5:30 the most exciting day. The day that everyone was waiting for PAM HOGG I got the chance to dress Pam Hogg's for her comeback show. She had famous models with lot of famous people watching. Some of the models include Dasiy Low, Jamie Winsten and some of the celebs in the ordnance were Peaches Geldof, Alfie Allen. Have such huge celeb list there ment there was camera crew and lots and lots of journalist. Staying away from them make sure the models were ok. Pams collection I thought went well with our sports V fashion project they where like jumpsuits/ skiwear type. For such a big named design she was not at all what i thought she would be. She was cram and grateful for the help that we had done. at the end of the show which went down very well and please a lot of people i offered to come back at 6:30 to help dress the on/off presents. This is a selection of the best up and coming designer, Cecilia Mary Robson, Q.E.D, Rachel Freire, Rozallo De Mura. There are two the ladies designers and two male designers. Cecilia Mary Robson and Rachel Freire are the ladies designers and the me designers are Q.E.D and Rozallo De Mura. All the designers show went so well and they where so pleased with everything and how it went. Finally leaving at 11:00pm that night

Day five: 6:30 this time and one last show to do. Ashley Isham the same as the lst two days a lot of waiting around getting drink putting out rubbish bags. There was to many dressers and not enough models they brought a bigger team then any one else. we did our last show, went home came back at 6:30 and help dirge till 10:30
