I used to study a diploma in fashion & clothing at a local college, and when I finished, I took a gap year (which turned into two). However, some of my friends stayed on to study a textiles & fashion course at the same college which has now become a university level college as well. Their designs were based on what they saw as 'freedom'. The fashion show was the most formal & 'posh' show/modelling I have ever done, held in a beautiful National Trust house with acres of grounds, it really suit the collection that was being shown. Above are some photos of me modelling a design by Morwenna Everitt - Victor. It was a pleasure to model, so nice to see old friends, such a lovely day & I wish I could do it all over again.
Ever since I was a little girl I wanted to be a model, but being 5''6 I am one or two inches too short to do anything serious in the fashion modelling world, and seeing as I've put on a stone in the last year it seems I'm heading in completely the wrong direction. It's still nice to do the occasional photoshoot & college catwalk shows, not only for me, but in helping out the designer.

I thought I'd share these pictures with all of you sixties lovers. As I was browsing through some old photos, I came across these, from a photoshoot I had back in January in Notthing Hill, with some acquaintances of my father. My hair was much redder back then, I am tempted to dye it again, although my natural colour is just breaking through. The idea for the photshoot was the 1960's, but portrayed through makeup in three different ways. Rana was an excellent makeup artist and made it look so perfect and 60's style. After spending the day in Notting Hill, I decided to make it a life long goal of mine to own a studio flat there. PS - I can't wink to save my life. (Leopard print jacket from ASOS).
