2010 AND ALL THAT JAZZ!

с новым годом...
That's Happy New Year in Russian, because I'm so cold right now, I feel like I am in Russia.
I had vowed that I was going to be super organised and update my blog more, yet It's already the 12th and I seem to have been whisked away in a magical vortex of work and excitement....
So I have to say that 2009 came with an abundance of highlights..... It marked both my third catwalk show at London Fashion Week, as well as my debut at Vienna Fashion Week...and two brand new collections under my belt!
On top of that I got to work on some awesome projects this year and also got to take my brand to a more international focus as travelling is the only other thing that comes close to my work as far as my LOVE LIST goes!
Jetting stateside to work in New York as creative coordinator of the NYC AGAINST HIV event as well as presenting my collection on the catwalk over there was a particular fun point....however the falling over and scarring my knee for life, was not so great! Battle wounds........

The beginning of the year saw my special event with Jodie Harsh, 'The Emma Bell Circus comes to Town' thrown at Circus with the amazing Ladyhawke as guest DJ and cupcakes galore up for grabs by the scrumptious, 'Outsider Tart'.


Other juicy highlights include having Big Brother Twins, Samanda rock my AW09 show and styling Little Boots for Notion Magazine!wooeeee! 2009 also saw Ebony Bones rocking my robes as well as Raquel Reed, Beth Jeans Houghton, Jodie Harsh, Annie and Olivia Merilahti of 'The Do'!!

And of course, in keeping with the International twist, 2009 saw me branching out and going all continental (like a breakfast...) and moving to Vienna for a juicy chunk of the year! I am super grateful to have been taken under the wing of the wonderful Quartier21 programme who offered me a position as Artist in Residence in a beautiful studio in a beautiful city!!! Vienna was AMAZING and allowed me to work with a huge selection of talented creatives from all over the World, present my first European showcase and of course work in a totally new environment which was super inspiring!!!

All and all a very happy, busy and exciting year...and I'm tropically excited for the realms of 2010! There's some juicy treats and projects lurking up my bejewelled sleeves...so keep those peepers peeled for upcoming gossip and shizzle!
Best foot forward and all that for the year ahead....So far I was super chuffed to get a mention in the 'Evening Standard's' trend predictions for 2010, a nice bit of coverage on SS10 in 'The Journal' and to have my garments featured in an awesome shoot styled by Alexis Knox in the latest issue of Notion Magazine!!!


Enough of my rambling....and reminiscing and whatever else!
Magical unicorn wishes and kisses for 2010 folks!
Love and Gin and Tonic,
Emma

In preparation for the wonderful 10 Festival which represents fashion and photography my garments were used in a photoshoot! I can't show you the images as they are top secret but here is a little sample at what went down at Michele's new studio! See the lovely Alex above sporting a piece from my SS10 Collection.

In other news my overseas antics meant that I was not in London for the comeback of 'Circus'....I was sobbing into my pillow!!!
I wish I could have been there...but, I wasn't, I was eating strudel and being all Viennese instead! But my jacket was there in my place worn by the lovely Jodie Harsh....it's like I was mystically there in fabric form...woo spooky!
Ok...that's all folks!
Love and Thermal Socks,

"Emma Bell's Vault for Vauxhall"-The Aftermath!

Afternoon!!!
So finally I have a minute to write and tell you all about what went down on Monday...at the much anticipated "Emma Bell's Vault for Vauxhall" of which I was appointed as Creative Director of with Vauxhall Motors!!!6 weeks of super hard work and the result was most definitely worth it!
So where to start...after a couple of all nighters putting the finishing touches of glitter on props....chasing up the finer details....We were up bright and early at 5am to load all of the goodies into a van (that strangely smelled of beef...gross) driven by a dude called Paulo...
Me and superstar production manager and creative mastermind, Alexis Knox, rocked up to the Vaults at London Bridge with our amazing team (thanks Rosie, Russell, Emma, Eleni,Katie, Lucy, Natasha, Will, Adam...sorry if I forgot anyone!) and prepared for the arrival of candyfloss machines, hot dog man, mystical forests....
The venue is HUGE....400 metres long...with 25 individual vaults!


One of my favourite parts of the day was seeing Will rock his special tree costume...I've never witnessed such a corker of a robe in my life....

So the doors then cracked open to the world of dreams....taken through a darkened maze lit with UV with the spooky sounds of Mario Brothers haunted castle....woooo spooky....I especially had a cheap laugh as I heard people's screams echo down the corridor!
Then the party times began....cupcakes, Lambrini, stilt walkers, candyfloss, hot dogs, a coconut shy and funfair games....hair-do's from a car from the AMAZING Charlie Le Mindu....a corker of a performance from the one and only Scottee....Scottee rocked a beaut of a spangly outfit by Lee Benjamin as he flounced in his ball pool amongst glitter and tinsel....



And now some tropical beats for you to throw some shapes at....
We had celebrity guest DJs in the form of Jodie Harsh, Ebony Bones and Frankmusik....YES PLEASE....



Then came a second chance to see my SS09 collection, as seen on the catwalk at London Fashion Week.....With super special make-up from artist Melissa Lee...hair by Charlie Le Mindu and my amazing models....the clothes trotted their way down a pink glitter catwalk peppered with specially Emma Bell commissioned cars!





This was one of the most exciting and challenging projects that I have ever worked on and I am so happy that it was such a great success!Check out some cheeky snaps......




And of course the extra special Vauxhall cars!!!!




oooh yes...and for your viewing entertainment....what went down after the doors had closed......

Love and Vauxhall Party Times!!
