LFW backstage diary

So I luckily got a work experience intern placement working backstage at London Fashion Week FreeMasons Hall. has been an amazing experience so far seeing the hair and make-up process, dressing the amazing models for their runway looks and generally seeing the whole production process aswell as jumping in to watch a few shows. 

Friday 

I was thrown in the deep end to dress the 

first look model Taja in the beautiful Felder felder AW15 Collection, filled with glam rock vibes with furs, black lace and gold metallics. 

We then moved onto dressing models in Mariana Jungmann collection, with a strong workwear aesthetic of pinstripes and oversized shirts. 

Luckily in the evening we were able to jump in and watch the House of Ccuoco show which was one of my favourites so far! so many red and blacks and studs!

Saturday

We began the day by dressing the models for the lovely Judy Wu, this by far had my favorite hair look of the week. The collection had beautiful bright reds, blues and oranges with camel and fur. 

Later this day we dressed models for four different designers for the "ones to watch show". You can tell this was a very busy experience by the fact I didn't take any photos lol.

Saturday evening we walked around Covent Garden then we headed to Liverpool Street for dinner and drinks, we went tho this amazing bar called The Alchemist - they put dry ice, fire and bubbles in drinks like its a science lab! And the drinks are very strong for the prices (even better) 

Sunday 

we watched the amazing show by Gyo Yuni Kimochoe, along to one of my favourite songs "black skinhead" by Kanye West. The background research and inspiration of this collection amaaaazed me (pic description below).

Then we helped dress models for the Pam Hogg show which was a memorable experience to say the least, a very amazingly loud collection! (Again no photos as was so busy!)

We also went to a rainy Tate Britain to catch the end of the Topshop Unique show, and was stood a few metres away from Cara Delevigne and Kendall Jenner themselves - Along with Pixie Lott and Ellie Goulding!
