ZIAD GHANEM THE IMMORALIST SS/10
So it’s been an extremely exhausting week. I feel deprived of sleep. I can’t believe fashion week is nearly over, the week has flown by and I don’t even know where my days have gone! Working with stylist Alexis Knox again on this final show, was definitely an amazing way to end fashion week!
Dubbed London’s ‘Cult Couturier’ Ziad Ghanem combines cutting edge couture skills with easy to wear fabrics and raw street elements. A kaleidoscope of inspirations and techniques, Ghanem’s collection was bright bold and quirky. Check out this super cool collection:
What I loved most about this collection was the use of recycled materials and eco-friendly methods, ethically amazing!
Ghanem uses original firetrap denim styles and transforms them into distinctively individual and unique re- imaginings.
i love Ziad's T-shirt toooo please can i have one it's sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet?? Fantastic show though i loved every minute congratulations Mr Ghanem!
After the show we got to the after party and it looked something like this...
Alcoholic abuse.Make you dance.Take a picture.Smiles for the snazz.Love waste gash.

ORSCHEL-READ LFW SHOW
This show was amazing; I loved everything about it! Ingenious fashion designer Stefan Orschel- Read presented a well structured tailored and shapeless street wear punk collection which was incredible to the eye.
Before the show started Stephan held an etiquette meeting backstage. Not something that you see designers do all the time but defiantly a good look I thought. Stephan took the time to thank everybody in his team, advised models they should eat and that we should all have fun! Some designers definitely need to take a leaf out of his book, a little love and appreciation does not kill anyone these days, especially when we are all working so hard!
Anyway so I was assisting stylist Alexis Knox, I couldn’t really take any photographs back stage but I have a few snaps of my favourite pieces from the collection:
Captivating fabrics were utilized in this collection, including: leather, green snakeskin for the jackets and trenches, checkered and striped cotton for the tops and pants, and even jersey neutrals for the draped pants.
Stefan completely incorporated a fresh and inspiring take on geometric structure; it was a pleasure to work with such a true and inspiring artist. Thank you Stefan for having me x x

HEMYCA: MIRRORS AND ECHOES LFW SHOW
"We no longer look in the mirror and see ourselves. We see a broken façade. Hybrid identities and a plethora of ideas. The static landscape of London inspires with its architecture; but what you see is a perception. A mirror reflecting society, an echo of oneself".
Hemyca's SS/10 collection exudes summer in the city; crisp blue sky background for landscape harsh and sensual in equal measures, drops of sunshine showering the skin through the architectural maze. Equivocal in atmosphere and ambiguous in nature.
A fusion of sensuous shapes and clean cut lines, played out on menswear tailoring fabrics allows contradiction between chic city styles and soft summer silhouettes. Waist detail trousers and delicate satin camisoles, sultry playsuits and tailored summer dresses.
The perception is simple lines with structured undertones; the reality is femininity with a flirtatious kick
Meet my team, Backstage i was assisting stylist Valentina Tiurbini. i didn't get a chance to take many photographs which was a shame but to see the full collection please click HERE.
