A Class Act


Designer: Helen Woollam

Hellavagirl, designer Helen Woollams shocked audiences with a nail biting presentation. With production by Fashion Scout at London’s famed Freemasons’ Hall, a graceful ballerinas’ representation of Christ with a gold crown sets the tone of this show from its inception. 

The arabesque attitude, grande rond de jambe, and plié all tell her story, yet reflect the models’ runway anecdote. Head of make up was Jo Sugar, assisted by London Makeup School using KRYOLAN products. White streaks painted on each of the models’ faces added to the intrigue of what or who followed. 

Dramatic collars greeted you individually, accompanied by eloquent gowns and fabulous jumpers. The designers’ original use of flowers and ruffles gave the layered gowns a garden-esque appeal. Hair was by Toni and Guy, Label.M. Mounds of carefully draped tulle accented some of her prized collections. Velvet, crystals, lace, & tulle were amongst the many fabrics rich in texture, and fit for a Queen. A display of culture wrapped with a bow. Daring, bold, and beautiful. Helen stands out amongst myriads of London Fashion Week designer brilliance!

Sheer Perfection

Designer: Pam Hogg

Fashion goers were truly split down the middle of whether to attend Burberry or Pam Hogg,  as time schedules conflicted. With hair by Indira Schauwecker, spandex, chiffons, lycra, mesh paired with metallics, & vividly colored faux furs completed desired looks for Pam's collection. Make up by Liz Martin products by KRYOLAN, playfully placed shaped fabrics that draped the models bodies effortlessly similar to clothes on a hanger.

Pam Hogg took her inspiration from the city that never sleeps, and turned it into an eyebrow raising, adventurous fashion circus. The art of the risqué approach still held quite a measure of class.  The audience was left stunned! 

The show was engineered by Paul Jackson, and produced by Fashion Scout at Freemasons hall in London, U.K.

Designer: Limkokwing

This outspoken collection through fashion expressed in volumes the life of Whitney Houston, and intertwined the movie she was known for, “The Bodygaurd.” 

Fashion garments by Limkokwing University began telling the peaceful story of Whitney, with her modeling youth & rise to success after ‘the bodyguard’. Whitney’s life spiraling out of control up until her tumultuous death were all displayed in beautiful sequins, and  captivating fringe. Brilliantly sparkled & bedazzled hoods & gowns continued to storm down the runway. 

Hair was styled by Jon Wildson & the Toni and Guy session team. Make up was by Beth Margetts & the London Make Up School Pro Team, using products by KRYOLAN. Silver gowns with pockets of metallic silver sequins pockets of black ostrich feathers. Shimmery onyx-colored leather, black-beaded fringe, studded embellishments, & sophisticated prints all added to the prestige in this collection.

The designer incorporated a youthful twist to A-symmetrical, high-waisted skirts with highlighted splits by adding feathers, outlining the upper thigh. Accessories were by Wanderlust & Co. and Saadiah Aziz. Musically her most memorable hits were married with feminine sexy innovative powerful designs to interpret this carefully thought out fashion work of art!
