Lakhme Fashion week 2011

Now that my fashion show is coming closer I was researching on recent fashion shows to help me think of styling, music, hair and make-up etc, and found Lakme fashion week 2011 which is a popular fashion show that happens every year in India, and found amazing indian contemporary designers, I was facinated by there work and took inspiration for styling, music etc. Here are a few videos of designers that I was most impressed by, all the designers having individual themes keeping in mind its spring/ summer


VJ Balhara presented a striking collection for Summer/Resort 2011 at Lakmé Fashion Week with the quaint title “Rustic Sophistication”. Fusing creativity with the style of the aristocratic Zamindaar women from Haryana with large doses of European feminine elegance of the late 1950s and early 1960s; VJ designed swirling skirts that were reminiscent of the traditional Daaman of Haryana.

PRIA KATARIA PURI RECREATED THE MAGIC OF MARRAKESH FOR SUMMER/ RESORT 2011 AT LAKMÉ FASHION WEEK
March 11, 2011, Mumbai: “Marrakesh”, a dream summer resort destination for the jet setting fashionistas, turned into an inspiration for Pria Kataria Puri for her Summer/Resort 2011 collection at Lakmé Fashion Week.
An expert at creating holiday wear with exotic prints, Pria’s Moroccan mélange of colours gave that vintage textile feel to the collection. The colour story was dramatic with a generous play of off white, yellow, orange and apple green creating a romantic rainbow with teal green, teal pink, burgundy, navy and of course black which is the colour of the night.

Photo shoot- make- up/poses ideas...

For my photo shoot I tried out make-up and poses ideas  for my final photo shoot to come out amazing and hitting to my target market etc, as well as advertising and modelling for Rabia Karim a fashion make-up artist...

The make-up style is the swan lake, with the red lips for the picture to stand out, hair being slick straight with a puff etc...

Pose 1, I felt that this pose was useful to aim that the collection I will be making will aim at the 'Ready to wear' market and showing what my customers life style will be like...

Pose 2, this pose will be useful for the alibaba trousers, as this one is showing the legs off, so the flared alibaba's will look great...

Pose 3, showing the whole outfit off with a rich interesting background...

Close view of make-up...

I love this pose as it shows the background off really well, also the statues look great as I can picture my collection with it now definitely will take this pose further...

I'm now really excited to do the  photo shoot as I have a really good idea of how its going to be, I feel really organised and am ecstatic that I did this practise photo shoot, as I can now make  my final photo shoot look amazing...
