The Fashion installation, being shown in the Medieval and Renaissance Galleries created an unexpected romantic atmosphere; surrounded by the backdrop of sculptural artifacts, renaissance colours and accompanied by the soft sound of water from the fountain.
Here are some new images from the show including some interesting back stage shots from the day, showing models being made up by the lovely ‘London College of Fashion’ ‘Hair and make up’ students who worked with me on designing the ‘look’ for the models; I loved what they did with the models hair!

We decided to use Joan of Arc as our muse to take inspiration for strength in posture and for hair styles and make up. Platts were twisted to great effect and in order to keep within the colour theme, face make up was kept to a neutrals with hints of gold and white
