Summer

Tomorrow I am VERY excited to start interning at Fiona Leahy creative events and production design agency for the summer. Having produced press events and parties for the likes of Louis Vuitton, Stella McCartney and Matthew Williamson to name a few, I can't wait to help out and lend my creativity to their many exciting projects!

Greetings From Paris!

This evening I arrived in Paris and can't quite believe I'm here as it's all gone so quickly- I only booked my hotel yesterday! It's great to be here, I love the architecture of the buildings; it's such a beautiful city. Yesterday was the last day of my internship in the Vivienne Westwood London showroom and check out the cuteeeee bag they gave me as a leaving present- a stripy Yasmin bag in fuchsia. They must of overheard me saying how i love anything with a bow on and I love this- i've brought it along with me for the show tomorrow!

I finally got round to buying the Diana Mini Lomography camera I wanted so hopefully I can take some cool photos backstage, I just need to figure out how to use it first! Also a bit of inside gossip- I heard Kanye West is attending the show!

I have so much to do within the next month, I have work coming out of my ears! Next week I'm going to Paris to work on the Vivienne Westwood AW11 Gold Label show at Paris Fashion Week for a few days and have the first round of my Wallace Collection critique. I'm also giving an interview for an online magazine article that I'm going to be featured in soon and producing exclusive fashion illustrations for. I've also got my work featuring in another magazine hopefully next month and then....holiday! Woop! Another worry i have on my mind though...what on earth am i going to wear in Paris?!!

Red Label AW11

Check out the snaps i took from the Vivienne Westwood Red Label AW11 London Fashion Week show where I worked backstage and had an amazing time! Whilst waiting for my model to have her hair and makeup done, I watched Tracey Emin having an interview, Daisy Lowe having her hair styled, Susie Bubble taking some snaps and Dame Vivienne herself ensuring everything was running smoothly, a great night! 

Red Label: The Campaign For Wool

The Vivienne Westwood Red Label AW11 LFW show invite is themed in reference to lambswool named 'The Campaign For Wool', a project Vivienne is working on at the moment. It also coincidentally features a cropped image of a painting from The Wallace Collection, of whom I'm doing a project for at the moment.

I'm quite a busy bee this month as it's the second week of my interning at Vivienne Westwood; I'm also interning with Gok Wan in a few weeks on his Fashion Fix show which should be fun! I've got my Wallace Collection project to work on as well as designing a fashion illustration for a fashion blog and designing party invitations...so much to do! I can't wait til LFW though as I'm working backstage at Vivienne Westwood's AW11 Red Label show being held at the London Magistrates Court and going to Vodaphone's London Fashion Weekend front row at Somerset House... fun fun fun!

A BIG clue as to where I will be doing my internship starting the end of January til the end of February...EXCITED!!!

I want this chandelier!
