Firstly, if you reading this.. then thats awsome, I've been thinking of writing & starting a blog for so long now & my teachers (From my fashion school) keept telling me to start writing one, but there was always something that just kept stopping me from doing so, i dont know what it is? Perhaps i thought maybe no one would read it? Be interested in what i have to say? Can quite put my finger on it.
So i was at the Sydney Mercedes Benz fashion week yesterday backstage dressing for Miss Unkon, and there we're fashion bloggers everywhere, taking photos, doing interveiws, so i finally thought - What the hell! I guess it just inspired me to do so.
Speaking of fashion week - This year was my first year, i've worked on photo shoots plenty of times, styled for catwalks, ive even had to manage a whole backstage of models, photographers, makeup artists, hair stylists, basically the whole crew. But let me tell you, working at fashion week i had never come across anything like this. As stressfull and crazy as it was, it was amazing, if you love fashion, you love it, you will want the caos & stress, its what gets your adrenaline pumping like nothing else could, its where you get your high, and no matter how your day went, you will always be craving for more.
You always hear bad stories of this designer, that stylist this person was horrible, the bigger the designer, the more intimidating & the more you think you are no one to them. I dont know if it was just my experience, or what i thought, but i was lucky enough to dress for Gary Bigeni, Dylan Cooper & Miss Unkon - They we're amazing, i couldnt have had the best start to the week, & we're honestly just generally so nice as a person. The clothes have never look so beautiful, you will never appreciated the colours, patterns, fabrics & work gone into them until you see the collection lined up on the catwalk, put in your time and effort to make it all come together & worry about the models falling over those big stilts of shoes, clip of every loose thread of the garments, and have to have those girls changed outfits in less than 30 seconds.
Its facinating to see how young they are, how far they have come, and to be showcasing there clothes at Fashion week! The biggest damn event of the year, i look around its unreal to see people more than twice there age taking adivce & orders from them, people like that you can only really look up to & let them drive you more to reaching the success you want in life no matter what it may be.
So congrats to me on my first blog! Its not as bad as i thought ill admitt, you get in the zone, start writing about something and it all comes out without you realizing but you have already written a whole page full of jibberish (or how ever you spell it) - Hope you enjoyed guys, youll most certainly be hearing more from me as i share my work on up coming photo shoots, catwalks & just thoughts in general.
