OFFICIAL BLOGGER | RGU World of Colours Fashion Show | Part 2 Backstage

After being given the fantastic opportunity to be an official Blogger for the World of Colour Fashion show alongside my blogging bud Laura Liparazzi. I already posted pictures and info on the rehearsal here and now I wanted to share with you the backstage lowdown from the show itself.

Toni & Guy were there making a great job of the hair.  Peter is seen here doing the beautiful model, Diane's hair using plenty of Extra Strong Mousse by Label M and some serious back combing.

The make up was a mix of stand out lipsticks and flared eyeliner. Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick was used to contour cheek bones and their professional corrector palette to perfect any blemishes giving the skin a flawless finish, Inglot Lipstick pencil's were used for a long lasting matte finish.  There were also plenty of colourful Mac eyeshadows to choose from.

The Rails were all laid out ready to go.  Now all thats left is to head out to the front row and watch the show...

Check out my other posts on the RGU World of Colour Fashion show and hold on to your hats for the 3rd and final part in this series coming soon!!!

Official Blogger Coverage | RGU World of Colour Fashion Show | Part 1 Rehearsals

You may have read a recent post of mine here, about me being invited to be an official Blogger for the RGU World Of Colour fashion show alongside Laura from Liparazzi blog. I was so excited as I had never covered a fashion show from backstage before, most of the time I would have been on the other side.

So my first task was to go along to the rehearsal, held the night before, and get the low down on all the looks.  It was a good chance to talk to Rachel from thehonest-type.blogspot.co.uk who was the event manager and is also a fellow member of North East Blogger Events. She is a lovely lass.

Entering the Atrium at Robert Gordon University business school is pretty spectacular. It has incredibly high ceilings and a lot of glass with balconies over looking the main area, where the fashion show was to be held. The stage, lights, tv screens and most of the decoration was already up. Very organised.

Myself and Laura sat down to watch some of the catwalk rehearsal. Things were really taking shape.

Then it was off backstage to check out the outfits for the show. This was the part I was most excited about (as well as the cupcakes, but more of that later).

The garments were separated in to sections according to the 5 cities the show was based on: Tokyo, New York, Milan, London and Paris. So I got a great idea of the styling for each walk.

I was excited by the bright colours of the Tokyo outfits. Especially a neon Jansport Backpack and some cute 'Nerd' bracelets.

The palette overall was lovely and colourful. Everything was bang on trend, current season stock kindly lent to the students from shops in the Bon Accord and St Nicholas Centres shopping centres.

 

I left with the feeling that this was really going to be a fantastic show! I can't wait.

FASHION TARGETS BREAST CANCER | Get Involved!

Today, the 26th April, is the day when people around the UK join 
together to help raise money for a special cause... Fashion Targets breast cancer in aid of Breakthrough Breast Cancer.

About Fashion Targets Breast Cancer 

International fashion designer Ralph Lauren set up Fashion Targets Breast Cancer in 1994 after losing a close friend to the disease. Lauren was inspired to use fashion to help breast cancer charities across the globe.

Breakthrough Breast Cancer launched Fashion Targets Breast Cancer in the UK in 1996, bringing together the best of fashion to fight the disease. Since then we’ve had the amazing honour of working with the world’s biggest names in fashion and media.

Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, Kate Moss, Elle Macpherson, Georgia May Jagger and Kylie Minogue have all joined forces with renowned photographers such as Mario Testino, Simon Emmett and Ellen Von Unwerth to show their support.

We raise vital funds for Breakthrough Breast Cancer through the sale of specially designed products. We’re incredibly lucky to be partners with some of the UK’s leading high street brands, including M&S, River Island, Topshop, Warehouse, Coast, Laura Ashley and Debenhams, as well as online boutique my-wardrobe.com.  They choose items each year from their Spring Summer collections that every woman would want to buy, generously giving us at least 30% of the price.

We’ve combined our powerful brand and our infamous target t-shirt, growing from strength to strength to make a stamp on the British fashion industry.

From models to photographers and retailers, Fashion Targets Breast Cancer has become the UK’s biggest charity fashion campaign - raising an incredible £12.5 million. We continue to unite the British public together, spreading the word and wearing their support to fund Breakthrough Breast Cancer’s lifesaving work.

I am still looking for a lot more polishes. So if you have anything spare or you can pick something up it would be greatly appreciated.  I have now extended the date as I am hoping to receive a few more donations.

Originally I called out for only OPI polishes but I think that is rather resrictive so any brand is ok. Even if you have any nail glitter, beads, files. Anything suitable for a manicure.

Polishes received so far:
Modelsown Mystic Mauve
OPI My address is Hollywood
OPI Polka.com
Technic Carnival
