MSFW shift three: RMIT Dangerous Goods

Saturday night i worked backstage on The RMIT dangerous goods show. The design were so interesting and many of them really innovative! So much attention to detail meant the spec sheets were covered with complicated instructions on how each piece should be worn making dressing a little bit trickier. My model was Emily G and some of her outfits are posted below. My favourite outfit of hers was the first one in the first show which i haven't found a picture of but will be sure to post if i do.





The look below, with the light up snake was a part of a collection which seemed very avatar inspired, using coloured bauble and lights, which i'm sure would have looked amazing, under the lights of the runway.


I also really liked these pieces using silk and the blue neoprene outfits.



If you took away the tube part the bodysuit underneath was a little bit awesome.

Crusssshhhh


new girl crush, this chick, Lily Melrose of http://www.llymlrs.com/

i actually came across this blog doing a simple google search on ombre hair and her diy tutorial (which you can watch below) came up. I'm so happy it did because she is awesome, if you watch her vids you can see she seems really nice.

Reasons Lily is my new girl crush:

1. i love her style, she mixes high and low fashion/prints and volumes excellently and her style is completely accessible for the average girl. Most of the things she wears seem to be ASOS, New look and Topshop.

2. love her makeup, it's pretty, natural and glowing, absolutely the way i aim to look, she also does a perfect winged eye, daily.

3. love her voice, its kinda soothing and very warm.

4. love that she has, in the last year, lost 20lbs (9kgs) by eating healthily and going to the gym, something to be proud of!

5. she's just fucking gorgeous to be honest.














wow.

Peace, love and poison.

MSFW shift two: Designer Series 4.

Designer series two included above, ALPHA60, Carly Hunter, Claude by Claude Maus, FAT, Jack London, Limedrop, Tesla and Trimapee. There were less changes for this show than Thursday night (3 compared to 8) and the outfits were a bit easier to put on. The only tricky one being the first outfit by above which was a shortie jumpsuit which was really baggy but had this tie bit that had to be twisted at the front and then wrapped around her waist and tied at the back. My model Mallory was super nice and just about to go to New York for campaign season - so good luck to her :)

MSFW shift one: Designer Series 3.

So tonight i had my first shift dressing for MSFW. The Designers were Life With Bird, Nevenka, Nicolangela, Bettina Liano, Gorman, Alice Mcall, Arabella Ramsay, Obus, Wayne Cooper. The stylist was the lovely and super talented Kate Gaskin. My model was Aimee Hurst (one of the twins who won the 2007 girlfriend model comp) she had a couple of really nice outfits, will try and update as they appear on the internet. But unfortunately in the second show she got a major leg cramp and had to sit out for two outfits. So there i was rubbing her leg as she waited to walk out onto the runway. But she was a trooper and finished the show well :)

All the girls had to wear super bright blue contacts

My Fave look from Arabella


Probably my favourite designer of the night was Alice Mcall, super pretty florals, sequins and classic white shirts/dresses.

My absolute favourite outfit of the night was probably the shorts in the floral (couch cover style) material above with a white shirt (in the material below) which i'll post a pic of as soon as one surfaces!

and the Obus outfit Aimee was originally supposed to wear which didn't look right on her so they gave it to Lucy, the festivals' face.

 

So exhausted, so fun, so ready to do it all again tomorrow.
Peace, love and poison.
