Fringe, Frills & Studs

It took almost two months to organize, but I finally managed to hold a photo shoot for the Scarlettfly Autumn/Winter 2010 collection which has officially been named Fringe, Frills & Studs!

There was a lot of work to do. A lot more than I imagined there would be, I stayed up the night before to try and get everything prepared.

The shoot started at 10am, once the photographer, models and make-up artist had arrived we all got started.

Everyone worked really hard so a special thank you to all involved.

Here are some Behind the Scenes images from the shoot.

I've Been Busy... But I'm Back!

It's been far too long since my last post, but I have been busy working on many things. Here are some of them :) ....

During London Fashion Week I showcased my first collection at Boujis nightclub in London's South Kensington.

It was an amazing opportunity and a HUGE learning experience, but I loved every minute of it and here is a little snapshot of what went down that week!

So...

As usualy, I left everything until the last minute! I kept changing my mind and finally came up with an idea three weeks before the show!

I went fabric shopping and couldn't find ANYTHING I had set my little heart on :( So i ended up wondering aimlessly around Balham until I came across a small fabric shop which was MAGICAL and had everything I needed :D I ended up going back about five times because I kept running out of stuff. Here it is...

So I called some trusty friends round to help me out....by the end of the night my room was a mess and kinda smelt like a brewery :/ but it was fun!

Eventually the girls had to leave and I worked through the night to get everything finished off and had a nap at around 6am - woke up at 7! I did some last minute stitching then hopped into a cab up to South Kensington where the show was being held.

It was in some fancy nightclub and the other designers showcasing (there were three others) had brought their army of assistants and stylists....I turned up > alone < .

I was SO nervous but I had to get on with the model fittings, I had some assistants helping me out and everyone was really lovely :)

While the models were in hair and make-up I had hours and hours to chill out. But of course I couldn't relax and the more time went on the more I realised the show would be soon and I got more and more nervous! Then my friend Nathan turned up and i felt better :)Finally the show began! My collection was first :s but I was excited and in the end everything turned out fine!

Here's some pics of the show....

And that's that! woah it took me like an hour to write this post! hope i didnt leave anything out :/

So I spent the weeks after the show working on some stuff and trying to decide where and how I'm going to sell the collection. I've finally decided it will be available directly from me :)

The website is under construction but you will be able to visit it and order from this colleciton very soon!

I'm working on some other projects aswell which I'll let you know about.

In the meantime, if you'd like to find out anything from me or just say hi....drop me a message at info@scarlettfly.co.uk

London Fashion Week

Although I have been making clothing for quite a few years, the Autumn/Winter 2010 collection will be my first official collection.

I have an amazing opportunity to showcase at London Fashion Week in February 2010! Scarlettfly will be listed as an official off schedule show.

The show will be on Wednesday 24th February at Boujis opposite South Kensington Station.

Entry is guestlist only so if you would like to attend please email me at scarlettflyclothing@gmail.com.
I have a very limited amount of spaces so press and buyers get priority :)

Also check out the Boujis website www.boujis.com it's quite nice.

Photoshoot

I held a photoshoot to get together some promotional materials for my A/W 2010 collection which will be my first ever official collection.

I had very little time to get everything organised for the shoot but we had a really good time and got some good results.

My friend Nathan who is an up and coming photographer did the shoot. Check out NathanKleinPhotography on Facebook.

Bukky Balogun took care of hair and make-up and the lovely Simone Zahra modelled for me :D

Here's me with some creative input lol.

We did a couple of test shots and then got busy. I stayed up until 5am going through pics and editing the ones I liked.

And here are the results.

I'm putting the finishing touches on the other pics and the rest of the collection which you cant see until February but as soon as I can they'll be right up here.





Thanks Bukky, Simone, Nathan and Rachel for helping to make the shoot happen. Xx
