With the show being on the last day of fashion week, we were working some pretty late nights in the run up. Sustenance was key and the sushi and pizza was shipped in by the truck load. Not to mention the countless cookies and packets of popcorn and jelly sweets... and they say fashion don't eat!
Backstage at the show the energy was electric. I remember we were constantly on our knees, frantically straightening seams of stockings! Luckily there weren't many changes and everything went ahead without fault. We were even blessed with a special visit from Anna Wintour herself who congratulated Simone on her work. The hair also has to be mentioned - beautiful tousled cascading plaits, haphazardly intertwining. It was romantic but strong.
Overall I am really grateful for the opportunity to work with the Simone Rocha team. I had an amazing time and I will take a great deal away from it. The highlights for me were being given the responsibility of creating the headbands for the show and also learning to crochet, two fabulous experiences amongst many more which I will not forget.
