SS12 Vivienne Westwood Red Label

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

  

 

Sky high Rapunzel hair with woven scarves and plaits came down the runway in Smithfields market last night as Vivienne Westwood's Red label collection took London fashion week by storm.

Rainbow colours teamed with burnished shades of gold, silver and bronze Mac make-up were used  by Alex Box and her team to complete the looks backstage.

The collection itself was inspired by the last 20 years of Westwood archives and included a mix of her signature style sexy draped dresses and alternative tailoring.

The models clearly had fun as they danced their way through the finale with Vivienne at the helm.

Model Eliza Cummings complete with strapless red ball gown picked up fellow model Charlotte Free and literally danced her off the runway all to the sounds of ZZ Tops "Gimme All Your Lovin"

I finally made it to the Spring/Summer 2012 Menswear shows in Paris and I'm so glad I did, it is my first season as an independent Photographer so was out there on a wing and a prayer but with a book project fully in progress (watch this space!) I just couldn't miss out on the opportunity

I thought I'd start off with a few shots of the male models as they came out of different shows and as  you can see long hair was definitely a big deal this season.

Oh and no I didn't have a portable wind machine with me when I took these pics mother nature decided to step in and add a touch of magic!

Vintage Tea and Cakes on Brick Lane!

 

When my lovely make up artist friend Isobel Kennedy invited me to her vintage birthday tea party I couldn't resist blogging about it. It was such a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon celebrating with the girls drinking Champagne and Jasmine tea and eating Sandwiches and cup cakes.

And to think this very civilized affair took place on Brick Lane of all places, I'd highly recommend it!

Louis Vuitton - Sloane Street in Bloom

This week we celebrate one of London's most prestigious horticultural events of the year The Chelsea Flower show. In response Louis Vuitton's Sloane Street store invited select customers to pop by after the flower show to come browse the Spring Summer collection. The current collection is very much in keeping with it's flower prints and soft summer colours and also in store Guerlain had a delightful display of perfumes to sample in beautiful bottles. Before leaving guests had the pleasure of selecting flowers from a stunning array of blooms that were made into a bouquet for them to then take home.

With the sun shining in through the windows, the gorgeous scent of perfumes in the air and an incredible selection of flowers on display it really was the most delightful after party to any flower show. I was even lucky enough to get given a bouquet myself!
