Making A Mark

I've been wanting the Chanel Tattoos for a while now so when i got back from Thailand i decided to treat myself to some...I haven't used them yet...they'll be saved for an extra special occasion!

My niece Maisy is coming up to 11 years old and is soon to be Baptised. This lead me to get my Communion dress out of the closet to see if it would be of good use again. My mum had this especially made for me, i used to have to go to fittings every Tuesday morning for a month- a little girl's dream! Sadly it didn't fit Maisy but it was nice to see her try it on and take me back to fond memories of when i was 11 and felt like a princess!

What's this magical?!

In partnership with London College of Fashion and the Victoria and Albert Museum, i was chosen as one of four stylists to choose and piece together garments designed by LCF menswear and womenswear students for a photo shoot that took place at the English National Ballet’s studios as part of a project named ‘Diaghilev and the Golden Age of the Ballets Russes’.

These photos will go on to be showcased in a special event at the Victoria and Albert Museum in the autumn 2010...
