.Fashion Scout London Fashion Week.

So I’ve just finished an incredible week working backstage for Fashion Scout London Fashion Week! I was so excited when I found out I’d be working backstage with the fashion scout team and with such a variety of designers, and it definitely lived up to my extremely high expectations.

  

The first day of London Fashion Week is usually the most exciting, yet chaotic day full of last minute changes, stressed designers and a lot of buzz, and it definitely was that. Working backstage at such a high profile event was new to me, so it’s pretty much all a blur of sparkly shoes, PR people, models and patterned ensembles. I spent the majority of the week dressing models for the shows; so organising their different looks and being backstage to change them (in what felt like 10 seconds!) before they had to grace the catwalk again. It was fast-paced, at some points stressful but so exciting.

I dressed for designers; Alessia Prekop, Tahir Sultan, Ong-Oaj Pairim amongst others and also got to help front of house, while sneaking a peek at shows from other incredible designers like Pam Hogg and Lulu Lui. I couldn’t criticise a single one of their collections, they all had beautiful garments, colourful patterns, stunning material and the catwalk room was full of guests every time, including some famous faces such as Poppy Delevingne.  

As a picture says a thousand words, here are some (of the 1000+) pictures I took from the week:

It was the most exciting week; I got to see some beautiful clothes and accessories, worked with the great Fashion Scout team and met some amazing people, from designers and models, to the hair and make-up artists from Body Shop and Toni and Guy.
