Backstage with sass & bide

Why London Fashion Week? It’s back to their roots for designer’s sass & bide. sass & bide was born in London 11 years ago at Portobello Markets. The girls love the energy in London and always feel a strong connection to the city. Below their SS11 ‘PAPA SUCRE’ collection.

One half of the design team: Heidi Middleton backstage.

I never quite knew where the name ‘sass & bide’ came from so I asked the girls. “Sarah-Jane is sass, a reflection of her personal style & personality and Heid is bide… Heidi Bidey…. bide.”

The girls fave look.

Drink Draping

It felt like life under the Big Top this week. My friend Monica Edwards should be a full time interior stylist (she’s a mum instead) after this effort of 3,000 scarves bought and donated by friends and family sewn together to house a party in their garden, it was a magnificent event.

Oh and Ruby Rose rocked the house

Vic Barron’s Beauty note: The makeup was all about contouring in the colour palette of camel. Highlighting her features with a tone of rusty tan. For flawless milky alabaster skin I lathered her in ELLIS FAAS Skin Veil Foundation and used eye shadow E207 over the lid and brushing the excess of the colour under the bottom lash line. I curled lashes to open the eye but no mascara.

Michael Brennan’s Hair note: I used ghd ultimate hairspray with ghd sea spray for the best dry texture hold for matte waves.

Backstage at the Charlotte Ronson show. An ode to the relaxed early 90′s, I so remember doing the dress over Tshirt look while watching 90210.

Backstage at Diane von Furstenberg, bold prints and lots of drapery. Love the sunnies.

WILLOW’s Cat Lady

New York Fashion Week has started with the exception of Aust. designer WILLOW. Kit Willow, pregnant with her second child and unable to fly has instead created a film, Lady into Cat, for the launch of her SS2011 collection.

Kit embracing modern forms of communication, seen here skyping Melanie Huyhn which she does weekly.  French Vogue Editor, Melanie said about styling WILLOW’s latest video “It is always so exciting to work on project that push the image of the brand further in a new way. On this one, wild and unexpected. It was great to have Emma Balfour, she is so iconic. Sharif gave a magic feeling to the movie.”

The film’s Director-Sharif Hamza, Stylist-Melanie Huyhn and Model- Emma Balfour are all internationally acclaimed at what they do. Watch for yourselves…

Emma “The way the dress moved as we were filming was incredible. The texture moved and transformed with the environment – it was a goddess dress.”

Kit “Emma embraced the concept and thankfully the wild puma.”

Merci

I wanted to say thanks to all involved in our Alexandra Keating film

And of course thanks Alex
