FRONT ROW FASHION SHOW.....

AS PER MY POST ON THE VINTAGE SHOWCASE THAT I WAS ABLE TO TAKE PART IN ON APRIL 21ST.......HERES SOME GREAT PHOTOS FROM  A VINTAGE AFFAIR  WHO LAUNCHED THEIR ONE OF A KIND BRIDAL FASHIONS.
DRESSES RANGED FROM 1940'S TO 1970'S

ALTHOUGH I WAS BEHIND THE STAGE WITH MODELS AND COULDNT SEE THE SHOW, BY THE IMAGES BELOW IT WAS CLEAR THEY COLLECTIVE  PUT TOGETHER AN AMAZING PERFORMANCE...NOT TO MENTION THIS CREATIVE GROUP PULLED IT ALL TOGETHER IN A LITTLE OVER 3 MONTHS

THE "BEHIND THE SCENES" FOR ME WAS ORGANIZED CHAOS ...JUST THE WAY I LIKE IT
HAIR WAS DONE IN THE HALL KITCHEN, AND THERE WERE 6 MODELS WHO HAD 3 CHANGES OF GOWNS IN EACH SHOW, 3 FASHION SHOWS IN TOTAL FROM 1PM-3PM....YEP THATS 18 CHANGES IN EACH SHOW
SOME OF THESE DRESSES WERE SO DELICATE THAT IT TOOK 3 OF US BACK STAGE PULLING ON AND OFF THE MODEL...WITH ME CRINGING OF COURSE SECRETLY CHANTING..."DONT MESS THE HAIR DONT MESS THE HAIR DONT MESS THE HAIR"

SHEA BROWN, MY MAKE UP "PARTNER IN CRIME" DID A SMASHING JOB
THANKS SHEA- AS ALWAYS

I POSTED AN  OMBRE ' STYLE A MONTH AGO, AND AND MY GRACIOUS CLIENT JODEY CAME BACK WANTING MORE....LOVE IT WHEN THAT HAPPENS
I THOUGHT ID POST THE PHOTOS SEEING AS ITS A GOOD REPRESENTATION OF THE "FADAGE" FROM PRVANA VIVIDS AFTER 10 WEEKS. I ALSO GOT THE OPPORTUNITY TO TRY A DIFFERENT COLOR PALATE ON HER, AS SHE WANTED TO SEE LESS REDS AND TRY THE BLUE/GREEN/PURPLE HUES
HERE'S HOW THE COLOR TURNED OUT....AND HAVE A LOOK AT MY ORIGINAL OMBRE' POST TO SEE WHERE THE COLOR WAS AT IN MARCH....

NOW FOR THE FUN  
WORST














OK...THIS WAS ALMOST TOO EASY. THERE WERE FAR MORE MISSES THAN HITS
THIS YEAR
TOO BAD
I ACTUALLY HAD TO LIMIT MYSELF ON THE "WORST" LIST
HAVING GROWN UP IN THE 80'S AND WATCHING THE PUNK ERA TRANSFORM
INTO MANY SUB-STYLES I WOULD HAVE EXPECTED ALOT MORE FROM THESE FASHIONISTAS
ITS WAS ALMOST AS IF THE "PUNK" THEME FOR THIS YEAR WENT OVER EVERONES HEAD...WAS EITHER TOO "OUT OF THE BOX" FOR WOMEN IN THE PUBLIC EYE, OR "PUNK"WAS MISCONSTRUED AS HALLOWEEN??
WELL THERE YOU HAVE IT

OMBRE'..... YOU SAY'

WE ALL KNOW THE WHOLE "OMBRE'" CONCEPT IS NOTHING RECENT BUT I PERSONALLY AM STILL HAVING FUN PLAYING WITH IT

OMBRE'  A French term meaning "shaded." Usually a multicolored stripe, with colors graduating from light to dark. The color effect is woven into the fabric. Generally produced by arranging different tones in the warp

WELL THIS SAME CONCEPT IS BEING APPLIED TO HAIR
ITS EVERYWHERE YES AND WHILE SOME OF THESE HAIR TRENDS CAN APPEAR A LITTLE LIKE GROUNDHOG DAY...OVER N OVER, NEVER TO END ...THIS TECHNIQUE HAS NOT DONE THAT TO ME YET...............IT IS SO VERSATILE AND CAN REALLY BE PERSONALISED... ONE CAN REALLY STEP "OUTA THE BOX" WHEN PLAYING WITH COLOR
GOTTA LOVE YOUR GUESTS WHO THROW CAUTION TO THE WIND AND JUST GO FOR IT....HERES MY RECENT RENDITION OF OMBRE'
SO..WITHOUT FURTHER ADU' I GIVE YOU JODEY.....

IN THE BRIGHT SUNNY DAYLIGHT 

 THANKS JODEY :)
