And so I begin to explain myself...
I never told you before, but, I was lucky enough to be a helper at a mini fashion event at Browns restaurant in Brighton, which happened a couple months back now. After reading this here blog, my 'model' friend Olivia (who also modelled at the Spindle launch party) (http://livlaceandlust.blogspot.com) kindly hooked me up with this gig as a dresser/door holder/jewellery hanger/dress picker upper/all round general whatever the heck somebody wanted me to doer. There was over 5 solid hours of prep, stress and hard work for literally, a 10 minutes showcase. It was really interesting to observe the confined (we had two rooms, one of which was a toilet, for 17 models and 12 helpers...I could just about breath) chaos of 5 different Brighton based Designers. The majority of these collections were couture based which I love, as it represents Brighton's diversity, but it was the collection of designer Ailsa who stood out with her brilliant use of colourful jersey, there was a noticeably bright, vivacious attitude to the collection. As it was too long ago now, I cannot remember the names of a couple of the designers I managed to snap pictures of, but here goes:
'Renaissance'
'Ailsa'
My favourite
The Designer (far left) showed at this years BFW Ready-to-Wear show
Unknown Designer name; although I disliked the pinstripe shirt dress ridiculous amounts, this was a very cute collection.
Couture collection; designer unknown. Amazing gentry hair pieces, (think pheasant feathers) wish I had been able to get some pictures...
'Get waisted'
This is the collection I saw to (friend Olivia on the left)
