GB Catwalk Début!

Friday to Sunday just gone equalled non-stop awesome-ness. These were the 3 amazing days that was the Top Model / Fashion International show!

Ok so let's talk about the big stuff first: Saturday saw GingerBread's catwalk début!! Fifteen hats, from collections old and new (plus a few brand new hats made especially for the show), got to do their thing on the catwalk. They were shown off by stunning models, and complemented perfectly by fantastic make-up and hair. The whole experience gave us such a buzz, both during (I think I told the models 15 times how fantastic they looked whilst they were waiting to do their walks!) and still now afterwards.

Photos will follow soon, but if you can't wait and want to see some some of the other gorgeous clothing collections shown, nip over to the Top Model Facebook page. Also check out Colin Chau's website. Colin was the man behind all the official photography for the show(s), so we have him to thank for the amazing images that have been released so far (oh, and the incriminating evidence from the pre-event party). He's also a super nice guy to boot – I think the show may have OD-ed (or least should have sugar crashed!...) on the amount of sweet and awesome people involved.

I was also privileged to be asked to help judge the 'Commercial' category finale on the Friday night! It was surprisingly difficult to judge who I thought had the most potential as a full-flung, professional model - many of the finalists were incredible! (also didn't help that the designer parts of my brain kept wanting to focus on the great designs instead!). It was an absolute honour to do it though, and so moving when the overall winner for the category announced.

Big thank you's go out to all of the TM team for allowing us to be part of such an amazing event, Greasepaint for their great hair/make-up skills, and to everyone else we met (you know who are!).

Now to wait patiently for the photos.......!
