Hey little lovelies!!

Sorry I haven’t posted a blog in a while! I event blog as a hobby in my free time so I’ve been busy concentrating on live projects at the moments!! I heart Events management T-shirt 😉 😀 For more regular updates please find and follow me on Facebook – Dream to Inspire.

I’ve been helping the team behind Metropolitan Fashion show! We are currently organising a number of events! Yay! I help behind the scenes for a photo shoot for Christine Watson – the Winner from Edinburgh Metropolitan Fashion Show: Designers talent 2014. Here’s a sneak peak at the photo-shoot! I loved helping out!

I have had such an exciting week last week attending events for the Edinburgh International Fashion Festival. The festival schedule was a full packed week of activities!

During one of my days off I went to visit a few exhibitions with the Edinburgh International Fashion Festival. The first one I went along to was at the National Museum of Scotland. I love this museum reminds me of where we use to spend our high school free period. I went to see the exhibition space for ‘The Accidental Fold by Saskia de Brauw’. I never got the chance to attend the talk by Saskia but according to a friend that attended she quoted ‘I was left inspired!’ Saskia’s pieces were extremely interesting! Very unique and definitely can not be recreated without Saskia’s imagination.

I went to visit the Danish Culture Institute for the Tableau Noir. A sculpture of a room made out of Scottish Harris tweed. I found it difficult to find the Danish Culture Institute as it was between Victorian houses. The door was closed so I didn’t expect an exhibition in the location but noticed a little sign that had the Tableau Noir poster which I recognised from the EIFF website.

After visiting the Tableau Noir piece I went along to Gayfield Creative space which held 3 of the Edinburgh International Fashion Festival programmes; Sam (South African Market): Pop-up Design Market and Exhibition, This is Happening Now and Photopia by David McLean.

After a long day of visiting exhibitions I had to rush home to get ready for the CRAVE presents Racy fashion show at a secret venue 😉 watch out for my next blog post for an exclusive insight to one of the most talked about shows during the Edinburgh International Fashion Festival.

Unfortunately I couldn’t make it to the Menswear Salon Show which even had an appearance from the Duchess of Cornwell Camilla.
