Yay! Fashion week! Sooo much fun.
I wish I could show you a video of what it's like behind the scenes...but I can't because that would involve a lot of nudity haha.
Everything is crazy hectic! Clothes flying everywhere, people running around. It's pretty much organised chaos. Before hand all the outfits and shoes are set out and you have dressers assigned to help you with the quick changes, but when it comes down to it, the changes are REALLY fast so once you're off the catwalk people pretty much rip your clothes off, put new ones on, shove shoes on your feet then before you know it it's time to get out there again haha.
My favourite parade this fashion week was High Fashion High Tea. There were a lot of different designers involved and all the clothes and shoes were gorgeous.
When I got there, I realised my make-up artist was Lysha who did the make-up for two of my music videos, 'We're Ok' and 'Boom'! Small world!
My first outfit was Gwendoynne who made beautiful long cream beaded dresses with matching headpieces. There were so many hook and eye buttons up the back, it was lucky this outfit was first because they took a while to do up. The shoes were all beaded so they didn't really stay on my feet properly during the parade but lucky the dresses were long so hopefully noone noticed my shoe was fully sideways for most of the first parade...haha.
Next I wore a Cyan Reign outfit. This designer is amazing! I had these hot leather pants with zips all up the sides and a floaty top with a cute belt. We all wore lace eye masks too which looked awesome. The pants were hard to get one as they were so tight and you couldn't undo the zips but it was worth it! I love those pants!
Next up was Subfrusco. Another gorgeous outfit. I had high waisted shorts with a top that was split all down the sides. The designers were backstage and they helped me get the outfit looking perfect so that was cool. They were really nice.
Then there was Saint Augustine Academy and I wore a dress which I kept putting on backwards/upside down/wrong in every way but luckily we got it right for when I went on haha.
Oooh one of my favourites was Nicola Finetti! This dress was amazing! I loved how it came out at the bottom and was covered in what I think look kind of like mermaid scales! So pretty! Shoes for this outfit were Vivienne Westwood for Melissa.
Last but not least was IM lingerie. We wore these crazy feather headpieces which looked so good! If I had one I would totally wear it around the house... haha. But we had to be carefull walking through the curtains from backstage because if you hit them then they'd fall off as you were walking onto the catwalk! We also had these cute fluffy heels which were perfect.
We did two parades in the same day so by the end of it we were worn out! But it was so much fun! Can't wait 'til the next fashion week!

Haha this job was hilarious. Another model and I had to stand in the shop window of the new Intimates store like mannequins. We got to wear beautiful lingerie and pink fluffy robes! We were there for a couple of hours but it wasn't boring at all because we would freeze for a while and then suddenly move or wink at people. Watching them all freak out because we were real people did not get old...haha!
