Vienna Fashion Week!

Oooooohhh iyyya!
So....my show is looming...so I'm taking a couple of moments out to spread the word 'innit!
Wednesday is D-Day....so as you can imagine....right now it looks like this....

Wednesday marks both my unleashment of a preview portion of my SS10 collection as well as my debut at Vienna Fashion Week! So whole new ball game all round....after 3 seasons at LFW...and living and working in London for so many years....its an exciting change! And it's weird that I sit sewing looking at big old curly buildings and listening to sick German radio instead of looking down at Catch and listening to someone pissing up against my front door...much as I miss it!
But I can't compare them as they are totally different experiences!
In other news the impending show has meant some serious hours spent burning the midnight oil...and my addiction to energy drinks has returned...I've sampled pretty much ALL the Austrian market has to offer...POWER HORSE, BURN, FULL SPEED....(full speed tastes like SHIT.) and I have to admit none compare to my LOVE OF RELENTLESS....what I would do for a Relentless and THE BOX right now...
So anyway....the show is wednesday at 9pm....a seperate press showcase will be happening at 7pm...so any media to contact the PR...

The show at 9pm is going to be held in the tent at MQ Vienna...and is open for everyone! So come along!
Oohh also...today, the 19th...marks the one year anniversary to the day of my first ever solo show at London Fashion Week!spppoooookkkyyy!
Ok...so back to my sewing and Girls Aloud.....
Ciao
Love and Relentless

Ooooooh the Notion bash was hot!!!!!!!!

ooooooooooooooooohhhh iiiiya!
So, as you know, I'm a big fan of Notion magazine....I think it's a beaut....especially now that the lovely Alexis Knox has whipped in and become fashion editor!woooo WELL DONE KNOXY!
So Friday evening saw the launch of issue 38 with guest Esser...it was a right old shindig!I have been revelling in hermitville for the past few months so I was up for the unleashment! Also...when I spotted my ever favourite, "RELENTLESS" were sponsoring the bash....I was even more excited!!!!
Imagine my delight when....get this....I made the amazing discovery that there is actually a 4TH VARIETY?!?!As if?!!?I mean...as if Inferno wasn't the pinnacle discovery...there is actually another flavour of the "Juiced" version.....BERRY FLAVOUR! Yes please! It was EXQUISITE....I was hysterical!!! It has also pipped the "Tropical Juiced" to the post in terms of being my favourite!! It was scrumptious!!!

Yes...It was quite an extravaganza with Esser even abandoning the stage and whipping out an impromptu sesh throwing out the beats AL FRESCO!!!

The Big Grand Build-up....

Oooh IIIIIIYYYAAA!!!
So...what really went on in the months leading up to the unleashment of the collection!!!
I'm dedicating this one to Emma Box- who was my right hand man/woman in the run up to the show so really got to witness the majority of the ridiculousness....
Obviously there was many a ludicrous event....where to start...where to start....
As you can imagine there was very little sleep going on.....many nights there was none at all....it wasn't pretty...so to battle this we development an un-natural obsession with energy products....

Yes...the cans built up...and started to take over the room. Then...imagine my delight when I discovered that the shop around the corner stocks Thai Red Bull...now I was kind of excited in hopes of a re-run of my pre-Xmas antics in Bangkok...then again...the thought of being sick 8 times...being caught in the chaos of a street brawl...and throwing some shapes to the sound of Thai reggae with a sick-but-fit boy called Michael from Islington in tow....really wasn't going to cut the mustard in terms of getting the work done!!!
Then one day...after branching out to Somerfield as Tescos sarnies were getting boring....we found.....

YES....instant energy strips...YES PLEASE....although they weren't too amazing....
So we stuck to the Relentless...and lots of it...it's the BEST thing ever. There's a shop downstairs and we like to call the dudes Sunbeam and Gnome...Sunbeam is my favourite as he is more up for the cheap laughs....Gnome just isn't buying into it!
They must have been clapping their hands at us trotting down several times a day to clear their shelves of Relentless....we were so excited when one morning we popped in for supplies to see they had got another variety in especially for us...RELENTLESS JUICED....yes please! I definitely saw Sunbeam have a cheap smirk as I squealed with delight upon spotting this treat....only the day before had we hit up Wikipedia to discover this variety...and also learn of the myth that is Relentless Inferno.....

Another addiction accompanied all of the sewing and Relentless drinking....jam donuts from Tescos...YUM...although it wasn't so pleasant when Emma found a bit of plastic in hers (or maybe a magical piece of unicorn's horn...)at 35p a pop, you can't really complain!

This photo depicts one of my most favourite frolics of the creation of AW09.....
So....I got this really "special" mug for Christmas (my brother got the same one...bet he still has his...booo)....seeing as the door would be ringing 24/7...the trips up and down the stairs were getting out of hand....so we developed a special technique which involved the keys being lowered down on a piece of bright pink wool....to the onlooker it must have looked ludicrous.
On one particular day the wool got tangled so it was becoming a bit of a farce to wrestle the keys down to the receiver.....in the tussle MY FAVOURITE MUG took a full G FORCE tumble out of the window nearly taking out half of the road and the pedestrians.....I actually nearly killed Emma Box. It was a full blown spectacle....everyone on the bus was copping a spy...people on the other side of the road stopped to watch...there was an audience that a really shit matinee would be proud of.
In the melee, a load of chunks of ceramic had cascaded into the shop downstairs so poor old Sunbeam must have got a proper fright....he came outside kicking all the pieces back out into the street and started to laugh as he grappled for the still dangling keys....I'm glad it wasn't me trying to get the keys...the shame!
So anyway..you get the gist....for all the hard work...there was equally enough ridiculous moments....
Needless to say there was also a lot of sewing...blanket stitching and listening to Britney going!!!
Love and Flying Mugs (not saucers.)
Emma
