Alexander McQueen Fashion News Vivienne Westwood Marc JacobsAttended a fabulous night out at the Royal Albert Hall invited by ‘Chrisanne’ to join them in their private box. Chrisanne make all those stunning gowns you see on Strictly Come dancing. I shall be doing some business with them making full use of their spectacular Swarovksi crystal range of ‘bling’. Designed jointly. It was the finals of the Latin dance championships and being an avid salsa dancer myself it was right up my street.
I’ve been invited to a fun fashion week party hosted by fashion TV at No. 5 Cavendish square. My client Tiger Lilly performed to open the night’s proceedings, wearing a stunning CG Couture outfit of course.
World Armada productions feature a Clariscia gill Bridal gown style “Carolina” for their short film. Starring Gary Lewis of Billy Elliot fame. ( No he didn’t wear the wedding dress…)
Tiger Lilly pop/rock chick singer/songwriter chooses CG couture to dress her and has featured Clariscia in her promo Video. One of our dresses was also used on her EP cover.
Harpers Bazaar magazine features Clariscia Gill Bridal Red Veil for their special bumper December 2009 issue. The whole feature was called “Kiss of the spider woman”. It was inspired by a Gothic/Vampire theme. My veil was featured along with a Prada Dress.
One of my rewarding pastimes is to assist with young students and interns with a passion for my trade. I love to pass on my knowledge and think it’s important to do so ( you cant take it with you!) I was contacted by Global Placements International and asked to provide a placement for a German student. Anna arrived and despite the language hindrance we had a lot of fun, got on really well. She was blessed with a great sense of humour akin to mine and she loved fashion and proved to be a debt at making accessories.
She spent 5 weeks of the summer holiday with me.
Camille was another work experience placement student. Camille Grant overlapped with Anna and they helped each other. Camille wanted to go on to do a degree in fashion and still comes in to visit from time to time to keep her finger in the pie.
Good luck with the A levels Camille, and thank you very much to both of you for a valuable contribution to the CG brand.
So proud of one of my house models April Jackson whom I met for lunch. A former Jamaican Miss Universe contestant who has set up a charity called “Give children a future” foundation for orphans in Jamaica.
His amazing salon was also the host of luxury marketing event showcasing his fabulous head sculptures and adornments for ascot. Some of the headgear is shown previously in the blog in Louis Mariette Headgear.
I was invited as a fashion guest to attend an episode of Britains Next Top Model. It was filmed at the wonderful Louis Mariette Hat salon in Chelsea, London.
