Its 5 in the morning and my alarm goes off - but it doesn't matter as I've been awake since 4am. Its the day of the Royal Court Hotels wedding exhibition and I'm styling the show!
Weeks of preparation in the run up to this one day. Casting models, choreographing, choosing music, picking outfits and matching jewellery. All for 4 minutes and 30 seconds on the catwalk!
I was given the opportunity to style and organise a fashion show showcasing the evening collection of Indian designer Arinder Bhuller. Arinder won the award for Best Wedding Collection at this years IAFA awards.
Her use of eastern design mixed with modern silhouettes is truly inspiring. After seeing many Asian fashion shows with similar concepts I wanted to create something different, with a western couture feel. I decided to go for a Gothic yet glamorous look with a GaGa-esque touch with the make-up. The beautiful and gifted Ritika Kher was the make-up artist for the show. Her creativity when putting together the looks was uniquely astounding - this Girl has an imagination like no other!
Together we were able to bring the vision to life, accessorizing the bold outfits with lace, pearls and lots of bling. Choosing an instrumental version with backing vocals of Lady Gaga's Pokerface was the perfect sound for the models to strut their stuff too (remix done by the super talented DJ Rugrat)
With the help of my amazing team (big shout out to Jasmin Patel, Rammah Sharma and Ashni Parikh) the show was an amazing success :-)
