The LOOK Magazine Show AW11

I have been excited about this day since I was asked during my internship if I wanted to work backstage at The LOOK Show AW11, obviously, my answer was yes!

This year was their first year at Westfield Stratford which opened earlier this week. The shopping centres size and atmosphere is crazy. Every shop whether it be high end or low end had a sophisticated feel, but even at 9am  there was already a lot of people about. I spent the majority of my day backstage away from the hustle and bustle of the shopping crowd but surrounded by the chaos of a fashion show. I was assigned my own model, Ellen, to dress for the show. I was nervous about the responsibility of getting her out in time as we had a couple of quick changes but loved the excitement at the same time. I wish I had taken pictures of her looks but there was simply no time and I had to keep my phone off. It was great seeing everything come together and being part of the show. The experience was great and I am very thankful to LOOK for it.

A quick one behind the scenes

Rosie, Lousie and I with our passes, it was great to see the girls again!

Being around all those shops I couldn't help but at these pop into Topshop and pick up a pair of shoes I have been after for a while but couldn't find anywhere locally. The journey was like an obstacle course, there was absolutely no breathing space, which wasn't helped by people suddenly stopping in front of you and being ran over by pushchairs, scooters and toy cars. Eventually I reached Topshop where I picked up the black studded slippers after which I made a quick exit from the madness. I must say Topshop itself wasn't crowded at all but Westfield Stratford itself was filled to the brim!
