Harvey Nichols Fashion Evening March 2012

The Harvey Nichols Fashion Evening took place on 14th March 2012 at 6.30 – 10.00pm. The event played host to fabulous fashion shows and shopping opportunities that found the attending guests in an element of immersive bliss.

The main show featured models wearing key looks for the S/S 2012 fashion season. Alongside this were Trunk shows on the 3rd floor, Womenswear, showcasing pieces from collections by Amanda Wakeley, Pinko and Nicole Farhi. During the Trunk shows, stylists gave a commentary which included styling tips and the retail prices for each piece showcased.

The models make-up for the event was by Nars and hairstyling by Russell Eaton. The make-up was classic, with minimalist looks that left models fresh-faced; tinted moisturiser was used to give a sun-kissed complexion whilst extenuating their features through contouring. Tinted lip colours and eye shadows kept the looks current, in line with the season’s hottest beauty trends. Hairstyling for the evening was effortlessly chic, withup-do’s, fish tail braids and simple pleats created to perfection whilst being complimentary to the make-up and colour palettes of the pieces being showcased too.

Alongside fashion shows, the event also included amazing shopping opportunities. Help was at hand throughout the evening to make purchase choices easier, with styling tips from the stores personal shoppers, as well as product knowledge made available upon request.

The WildChildMedia team had a fabulous time at the Harvey Nichols Fashion Evening and thoroughly look forward to the next event.

Bo Carter S/S Collection 2012 Photoshoot

The photo-shoot for Bo Carter’s Spring / Summer 2012 collection proved to be a huge success. She had the perfect combination of a great location, The Hop in Leeds’ Granary Wharf, alongside a dedicated team that delivered at every instance. With hair styling by Carla Gittins and a rock-chick look created to perfection by Hafsah MUA. As well as the talented models; Mansa Brown, Chris Roberts, Emma O’Connell, Marijke Hodgson, Kirstyn Jenna Luton – who proved to be utter professionals in their ability to take critique and work their posing magic whilst enabling WildChildMedia to capture some amazing shots.

The Hop – Leeds, was the perfect location for the shoots concept. It held great potential for image capture by the WildChildMedia photographers, who used the Bar and upper floor with its edgy décor against a backdrop of colour filtered lighting, which worked amicably with the designers creative pieces.

The amazingly stunning and quirky collection from designer Bo Carter is a compilation of statement pieces that are modern takes on current trends alongside completely individual creations – offering something to suit everyone’s choice of fashion styling.

Amongst our favourite looks from the shoot were; the initial outfit worn by Marijke Hodgson – a red bustier worn alongside a floral skirt with an on-trend asymmetric hemline, accessorised with black Mary Jane heels. Accompanied by a statement rock-chick make-up look that included; flicked-out eyeliner detailed with diamanté’s, a statement red lip, and hairstyling that fused a quiffed centre piece with an off-centre pleated ponytail.

Another of our favourites was an outfit modelled by Kirstyn Jenna Luton; a cropped brown blazer with PVC detailing, worn above a floral print dress with lace panelling upon the neckline and seam. Accompanied by yet another rock-chick make-up look that included; a classic smokey eye blacked out with heavy flicked-out eyeliner, a statement hot-pink lip, and hairstyling that was effortlessly chic, with a beehive and crimped ponytail.

From the menswear range, we loved the striped trousers worn by Mansa brown, which were also designer Bo Carter’s favourite piece from the collection too.

All in all, an amazing shoot that we thoroughly enjoyed being a part of. We wish the best of luck to Bo Carter for the success of her stunning collection for S / S 2012.

Katy Perry for Interview Magazine

Love or hate the flamboyant young starlet, Katy Perry (formerly Katy Hudson) has become a fixture in the Hollywood pop scene.

Our societies fascinations with over sexualised young women such as Perry seems to know no bounds. With a career launched into the stratosphere with “I Kissed A Girl” the tone was set for her career and has sky rocketed from latex skirts to cupcake bras in leaps and bounds.

Most curiously is Perry’s upbringing in a fundamentalist Christian home, although the troubled daughter of a pastor seems to be the cliche these days.

Interview Magazine delves into the life and psyche of Katy Perry pop star via the hilarious questions of the one and only Kristen Wiig.

It is clear from the interview that Perry knows her audience and is a proponent of the sex sells mantra, and indeed for her it has. To accompany the interview the sexy 27 year old shot a glamorous spread that is definitely reminiscent of a young Elizabeth Taylor, and one of my favourite shoots from Katy Perry to date.

Check out some of the snaps below or head to Interview Mag for the full scoop.

Harvey Nichols Fashion Show S/S 2012

We arrived at the gorgeous venue, Victoria Quarter, which was host to the Harvey Nichols Fashion Show on March 6th 2012. As we entered the building we were greeted by the hostess, Katherine Busby, and told to help ourselves to a glass of complimentary champagne and moreish canapés that were on offer throughout the reception before the show commenced.

The show began at 7.30, right on time. The catwalk was a runway between seating, which allowed the models to strut down, then around a luxury vehicle from Inifiti – which was in association with Harvey Nichols for the show, and then back up another separate runway. This set up allowed a constant stream of designs to be flaunted in style, reminiscent of the feature shows within London Fashion Week, with the audience being mere inches away from the clothes on display.

Some of the designers that were showcased at this spectacular event were, to name a few:

• Valentino
• D & G
• Alexander McQueen
• Sportmax
• Prada
• Jeffrey Campbell
• Miu Miu
• Laboutin

Once the fashion show was over, everybody moved inside of the Harvey Nichols store for a champagne and shopping event receiving a goody bag on their way in. Overall, an extremely well organised fashion show that we thoroughly enjoyed. We look forward to the next event.
