London Fashion Week. Paul Costelloe bacstage story and catwalk.
9/25/2016 London Fashion Week Spring/Summer 17 has arrived this year on the 16th - 20th of September. It is time for the Capital to show what UK designers can create and we all know they have a lot to show.
I started my LFW SS17 with Paul Costelloe on the evening of the 16th helping my photographer friend at the backstage shoot. Watching and experiencing the backstage at the time before the show is a very special experience. Amazing opportunity to see how the designer and his team works with the models, make up artist, stylist organised to make sure everything looks perfectly beautiful.
Every single details was designed and planned by the designer. After the models are dressed, the final check is made by the designer for every details of the styling. If any tailoring is requires for the dresses, the Tailors team on site is ready to make the dress fit, to make the designer’s creation comes to life as he beautiful visualized it.

I also had an amazing opportunity to have an interview with Paul Costelloe about his new collection after the show.
Using Belstaf linen ( from John England) and Wexford linen ( from Emblem Weavers) in the collection has created an amazing collection full of white , light blue and ecru color collection.
