Stylist for Britains Next Top Model

ALOT has happened since my last update. I some how managed to walk in to becoming senior stylist for Graham Cruz for BNTM. Whilst dropping my collectioni off to his mini studio in East London I interrupted his fitting with models one girl Jade. Taking a seat on his black leather sofa and absorbing the themes for the show blue tacked artistically to the wall, I realised Jades look was totally WRONG! Not even of the sense of not fitting with the theme, but in terms of fashion forward creativity within garments.


No you cant possibly team those trousers with those shoes! I knelt down without hesitation and began to undress Jade. Both Graham and the model allowed me to continue taking control whilst I visited the racks of tightly compact clothes venturing for something more 'enticing'. jade slipped on the trousers as I customised them to fit her ankle and paired the outfit with some feathered customised wedges.


Some say it sounds like a rude approach. it wasnt rude, it was clever!

Graham gasped clapped his hands in applause air kissed me and asked a complete stranger (moi) to stay for the rest of the fittings. I left at 9pm five hours later after re-creating up to eleven new looks for the show. He asked me to come back and work with him up until this project was over. It was an opportunity I couldnt turn down. I was back again the following day working on winner, Tiffany Pisani's finale mirrored dress which I sewed together.

The following week days before the show I was sat in the hallway customising and making the male and female dancers outfits for an entire scene! It was MAD. Not only had I somehow walked straight in to this job with more control than a girl who had been there for months, but I too was making outfits for the show as well as having my own collection featured as part of the runway
