Walk Walk Fashion Baby

I got to tick off something on my bucket list last night! I am still floating from the buzz of it all. I got to walk in on a professional runway. Though I was walking for the first year fashion students 'White' collection, there was still a paying audience and professional models in the wings waiting to start their collection.

I had seen an email on the NOW about recruiting models for the show and on a whim has emailed back saying I would be happy to help. I thought they would take one look at me, laugh and show me the door...I am 5'3, hardly model height. But nonetheless I was fitted to a very interesting outfit and I got to walk in the show. Queue girly screaming with happiness!

It was great because after we had walked our part of the show we got to sit and watch the 'Style show live' which was part of the Nottingham fashion week. The show was hosted by none other than the stunning Alice Levine from BBC radio 1 who is as lovely off air, as she is on. The style show had six sections all showcasing clothing that you could buy from the Victoria centre: Nauticaluxe, Botanicals, Monochrome, Think Pink, Dreamweaver and Colour Clash. It was a very fun and energetic show, through it was very commercial rather than a high fashion catwalk. the models appeared to be having fun, smiling and interacting with one another. I suppose they were selling lifestyle as much as clothing at an event such as that.

It has gone down in my books as one of the best things I have ever done on a whim. What an experience!
