When FTV Met The Kooey Runway Show...
I have accomplished another first in my career (of which I hope there will be many, many more to come!). I not only styled the Kooey runway show at the FTV Fashion Week Wrap Party by Fashion Palette, but I was the creative director behind the show as well.
Now, I understand that some of you may not know what the difference between the two job descriptions are, so I will shed some light for you.
As a stylist, I was in charge of putting the looks together. This means I had to source shoes, jewellery and any other accessories needed to bring the entire look together. I also had to figure out which model to put with which look, and figure out the line-up - the order the looks would come out in.
As creative director, I took on a whole bunch of other responsibilities such as music choice, coming up with a brief for the hair and make-up artists, deciding how I wanted the models to walk, where I wanted them to walk/pose, and figure out any other props needed to bring the show together. I also came up with a lighting scheme and smoke machine option, but turns out there were no options to choose from.
So it ended up being a much bigger job than I had initially anticipated; and I didn't really know what I was getting myself into; and that was probably one of the biggest reasons I agreed to take it on - especially as a volunteer - I was completely naive.
And yes, not everything came off the way I wanted it to, but sometime you just gotta roll with the punches, keep making decisions, and at the end of it all, I'm really proud with what I was able to accomplish in just a few days.
And I'm going to be on freakin' FTV!

I Styled My First Runway Show!
A couple of weeks ago I collaborated with the amazing and talented Gabriella Abela, designer of up and coming label TROIS. I feel so lucky to have been involved the process of not just dressing backstage, but actually participating in the organization of a show - from choosing the looks, to figuring out the line-up, choosing which girl to place with which look etc. It was such a great experience for me, and I just love doing shows!
And I don't think I was the only one who was totally blown away! Watching the evolution of TROIS is so exciting and inspiring, and I've found that Gabriella's talent and sophistication has only continued to develop from one collection to the next.
From the fabrication, to the cuts, to the prints, TROIS is definately one to watch!

New York Ready-To-Wear A/W 2011/12
I luf L.A.M.B. The styling is so sick - a great balance of sophistication, with a hard rocker edge.
Jeremy Scott makes me smile. He is always so fun and whimsical and always full of relevant pop references. Yay!

New York Ready-To-Wear A/W 2011/12
Tots lost my shit over Rag & Bone! I'm in love with the graphic lines and fucking dying over the colour palette! Does it make you wanna be a nomadic, warrior, power chic with wicked attitude...or is it just me?
Beautifully ominous, softly serene, and intensely powerful: elements of doo.ri
