THE MORNING AND AFTERNOON SHOW: Nolcha Fashion Week

I had hardly had much sleep but was just rearing to go and spent some time in the business centre (of the Mayfair Hotel) printing extra information leaflets for the assistants.

The first show commencing at 3pm, consisted of designers Le Nac, DMG and Laurance Rassin.

Amanda from the Paul Mitchell team was well prepared and ready to go. We discussed a few alterations and split the models up to get their hair and make-up done.

The Make-up used was the amazing products from celebrity Make-up Artist Glauca Rossi’s amazing range, Satellite 3 ( www.satellite3.com ).

DAY OF THE FITTINGS

After last night’s late night I could barely move or pluck up the courage to remove myself from my comfy bed. An early morning call from Kerry and Nolcha sure brought me back to reality. I quickly booked my Addison Lee car to get me to the Mayfair Hotel asap.

When I arrived me, Kerry (Nolcha CEO) and Julie, one of the assistants, set up the room accordingly for the fittings to take place.

Each designer had an hour slot to complete the fittings and make a final selection of which model would be showcasing what.

The lovely director from Clicqisse management, Daryl, was at hand to help the models strut their stuff in superb style.

Despite seeing and being amazed by Selphie’s Nolcha show in New York (September 2007), it was lovely officially meeting her and getting an up close glimpse and feel of her amazing collection.

Mylene, Le Nac designer, also flew in that morning along with Ms Bodangles who was visiting London for the very first time- HOW EXCITING!!!

Laurance Rassin, artist/designer, later came down from his hotel room upstairs to join in the madness.

All in all I was shattered by the end of the fittings!!! It’s crazy how quickly time flies by when you have so much to fit into a day (lol)

All in all I did not go to bed until around 3am and had to be up for 7am L

Me, Kerry, Liz and Rebecca ( Nolcha Team) had a good laugh before dozing away….zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

School re-union OMG

Above: old school pic

Gosh tonight was my school re-union which I have been sooo looking forward to as it has been over 10 years since I’ve seen some of my fellow school mates.

The Ensemble:

I did not know and think too deeply about what I should wear. I decided to throw on this amazing pink sequinned top which I bought in Warehouse , my Lee denim jeans, green Steve Madden shoes , my Bollywood style earrings, my chunky bangle from www.4seasonsshop.co.uk , Red Christian Dior bag and my famous beret (lol) and that was me complete. I met up with my best friends Leah and Nicola and together we made our way down.

Its was soo lovely and great seeing everyone. I decided to stay for the after party which was at the Pitcher and Piano in Angel…what was I thinking, I know, especially the fact that I had to be up by 8am the following day for the Nolcha Fashion Week fittings preparation. As the saying goes … “Lord help me!!”


PICS FROM THE NIGHT:

Old school pals re-united

Launch of Funk Physics Ltd

Today my lovely friend Ozlem invited me to attend the Launch of Funk Physics Ltd at Café De Paris, Piccadilly. Ozlem, previously a dancer, was extremely excited about this dance event as she looked forward to being re-united with her fellow dance partners. Immediately upon arrival she spotted familiar faces and previous dance partners she spent most her teenage/younger years with.

My cousin Katherine decided to also come along …and promote the below drink (lol)…Only Joking.

So what is Funk Physics all about?

Funk Physics launched in order to combat the lack of resources vital to Hip hop and Street dance performers across the globe. Supported by the Princes Trust and the London Youth Support Trust, Funk Physics aims to encourage and support the progress of both underground and commercial dance performers, including those braving the competitive entertainment industry today.

Director Kymberlee Jay gave a passionate speech on her journey of the dance industry and why Funk Physics is much needed within such a fierce and competitive industry.

Overall it was such a fun night and I really enjoyed myself … despite not being able to strut some of those moves the dancers made look sooooo easy (lol)
