Friday is catwalk day!

So this is it, Friday 15th and our début catwalk this evening in collaboration with Nico Didonna. Wow, talk about an adrenaline rush and the anticipation is just about killing me.. is the press going to turn up as expected?are they going to like it? are the buyers going to turn up and like it? are my personal guests going to turn up and like it? have we got it right? are we going to managed to dress up the models during the scene changes with no major drama’s??  Well, at least we are all prepared, with our accessories neatly sorted by groups and scenes.  So,bring it on I say!

Post show pics and comments to follow, don’t worry, whatever the outcome I’m going to be telling you all about it.

Getting ready to rock London

So, this is it two days left before we show our new winter 2013 collection at Pure London, one week left before our catwalk début at London Fashion Week. It’s now a case of ‘what we can’t do’ as opposed to ‘what we can’. Any designer or creative out there will most likely agree with me on this one- no matter how early you start, how many hours you put in and how focused you are..it’s always a last minute struggle and there are always compromises to be made.. the ‘what I can’t finish’ things. Friday and Saturday will be spent getting our stand ready for those all important buyers and on Sunday morning it’s all change.. it’s a ‘what to wear for the opening day?’ and ‘who will turn up today?’ morning. Fingers crossed, our collection will rock London. x Nadia

Of course I will be posting some hot pics and daily reviews, so keep  checking.

It’s all in the detail

I continue to march on towards the first showing of my Winter 2013 collection ( which will be at Pure London on Feb 10th). Now I am at the stage of the ‘little details’ final touches of colour, final adjustments, turning an item into an individual piece, giving it a sense of own identity. I feel like a kid in a sweet shop, wanting to choose all the sweets but having to limit myself. My beautiful boxes of Swarovski crystal beads and buttons all neatly stacked up and ready to go. Don’t really like taking them out of their boxes, they look so beautiful all together, just hope the final results are just as delicious!
