Emerging designers to showcase their new exceptional collections at the LGN Movida Catwalk Show and Summer Soirée

LGN Events will be hosting their summer soiree and Catwalk show at the exclusive celebrity nightspot Movida, in central London, on Thursday 17 June 2010.

For Immediate Release

Don’t miss the chance to see four exceptional emerging designer collections at this exclusive summer fashion extravaganza hosted by LGN Events.

Emerging designers showcasing their creations include the award winning Kerry Knowles, Chantal Gibbs-Jones, Leeanne Ripley-Garret and Rae-Emily Smith of my Fair Lady Lingerie.

Kerry knowles integrates luxurious modern tailoring with creative exploration. Kerry graduated from london college of fashion in 2010 with an MA in Fashion Design and Technology; her collection 'permutation' was unique in mixing mens and womenswear. The transformations of the concept garment allowed adaptability for each sex, with its minimal style and tailoring with great attention to detail.

University of Northampton Fashion Graduate (08) Chantal Gibbs-Jones will be showcasing her latest collection 'All about the Cupcake' - "A collection that indulges those with a sweet tooth to enjoy the naughtiness of the decadent cupcake without the added calories. Fresh cupcake and polka dot prints in sugary colours create cute and flirty 1950s inspired silhouettes that bring out a unique feminine identity.

Leeanne-Ripley Garret was inspired by Artists such as Edvard Munch, Edgar Degas and classic fairytales mixing the two elements together she developed an understanding of expressing the emotions that both of these elements create developing a unique collection of garments that are deep and meaningful with a fantasy feel about them. Growing up watching fairytales including Disney Classics such as Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty, Leeanne expresses “I had a vivid imagination as a child and ultimately thought that life would evolve as the fairytale happy ending, in harsh reality life is far from the world of fairytales. I am also greatly inspired by tarot cards as they have given me hope and inspiration throughout my adult life. Feelings and emotions are a large part of this collection and a need to be shielded from hurt and pain creating barriers of emotional protection.”

Rae-Emily Smith is a 21 year old lingerie designer from The Isle of Sheppey, Kent. Her label My Fair Lady Lingerie was established last summer just after Rae had finished her first year on the world-renowned Contour Fashion course at De Montfort University. The brand sells lingerie and nightwear and is aimed at strong, forward thinking women who want to add some elegance to their lives.

Top make-up Artist, Anna Orkiszewska will have her team of experienced Hair and make-up artists making up the exquisite models backstage.

Guests attending the event include buyers, press, journalists, PRs and other fashion professionals and enthusiasts.

The Pre-Fashion Week Show at Movida!

So yesterday was the LGN Events pre-fashion week show and party at Celebrity nightspot, Movida .

I have not slept much recently I must say , I mean I’m talking 2-3 hours here and there as I tend to aim for perfection when it comes to work so that includes not sleeping until all the nitty gritty stuff is also good to go! I think I learnt a long time ago that time all that lastminute.com stuff really does not work, so if it means I have to not sleep to perfect something, I won’t.

So the Movida show last night was showcasing 6 amazing International emerging designers from as far as India (Sonya Vajifdar ).

Designers showcasing their collections included Sve by Sally Ellis, Avoh Valentine, Struppets by Nicole Hellrung, Rosie Keating, Sonya Vajifdar and Knitwear designer Lois Porte

It was raining heavily, as it always does in London, but even that did not stop the guests from arriving dead on time eagerly waiting for the show to commence.

Backstage was utter chaos during the show as you could imagine but in a fun kind of way. I know you’re thinking chaos and fun do not quite go together but in the name of fashion it‘s possible –lol

Below pics: Some backstage action!

The turn out was fantastic and it’s so great to see the British press really supporting and welcoming emerging talent.

Well I did shake a few dance moves on the dance floor with the limited amount of energy I did have left then realised I was being unrealistic about trying to party after the show when I had to be up early the next day!

I literally crashed on my bed the minute I got into my room so yeah I was shattered!!

Bisous

The finding your Feet Fashion show…

Today I attended the Finding your Feet Fashion event at the exquisite celebrity venue, Movida.

The finding your Feet Fashion show is a youth-led event that promotes young designers alongside those who are already established in the industry. It was put together as an inspirational new way to showcase young British fashion and talent.

All proceeds raised on the night was donated to The Diana Award. The Diana Award was set up in memory of Princess Diana to recognise young people who make selfless contributions to their communities, and help empower young people to make the difference to their own lives and society as a whole.

The Catwalk show featured several up and coming designers who included Bot I Lam, Louise Crokett Danielle Mazin and Tina Lobondi just to name a few.

Overall it was a great event with a nice crowd.
