ABOUT ME : 5 FACTS

03:28 Unknown 0 Comments



I’ve been thinking over how to filter what I post on my blog, and as I am only just starting out I haven’t really found a direction so far.
I have decided that I would like to share my insight on Fashion and Beauty and the pressing matters related to them right now,  but I would also like to make more personal posts about my activities and lifestyle, So to ease you all into it I thought I would do a quick 5 facts about myself:

1. My name is Charlotte Rose Doherty


2. I have been with my amazing girlfriend Sami for just over 8 months now and we are constantly on the move, it will be nice to post and share our adventures and stories on my blog as there are so many and it’s so easy to let memories get lost in the past!

3. I am a student at Northumbria University; I am studying Fashion Communication and absolutely love it (I will write a post about the course later on!). 

4. I am a passionate photographer, I just need a little more inspiration and motivation to get out and get stuff done, but I would certainly love it to be an aspect of my future career some day.

5. Last but not least and certainly extremely important...... Cheese is certainly my favourite thing ever, I could eat it all day long and that is no exaggeration!

Fashion Show Assistant : 5 Steps

07:22 Unknown 0 Comments

On May the 13th I had one of the most amazing opportunities yet, which was to help out at the Northumbria Graduate Fashion Catwalk Shows held at the Baltic Center for Contemporary Art and it was absolutely fantastic. I was given several different responsibilities, including speak and greeting some really important guests, checking tickets and generally just making sure the show ran smoothly throughout the whole process and in all aspects of the day.


As  this was my first Fashion Show experience ( and I didn’t get any advice from anyone prior) I wasn’t the best prepared I could have been, Therefore to avoid angry stomach’s and overheating, here are my 5 steps to a smooth Runway experience.


1.       Appearance – Although it may sound vain this is of course the fashion world and appearance although not everything can be your make or break.
The dress code for helpers was ‘Smart’ I didn’t want to go for the usual or safe version of all black and so I chose some leather look leggings from Zara and a loose Pin Stripe blue and white shirt which I then paired this with some bright red lipstick.




2.     Arrive Early! – You should always make sure you are backstage at least 10 minutes before the time you are asked to.
Although the Email might say meet at 12, make sure you are early! Everyone else have the same idea and it doesn’t look good strolling in last no matter how prompt you are, however don’t take this too far, no one wants to see a face an hour before is necessary as you are trying to be helpful not get in the way!




3.       Keep quiet and considerate backstage! – You need to make sure that you are not loud enough for the audience to hear.
It’s certainly harder said than done when all you want to do is shout with excitement about the whole experience, but remember everyone has their eyes open today and if you want to be invited back to help again you need to keep volume levels all the way down, anyway this gives you more to talk about after the show!




4.      Be polite to everyone – You never know who they could be.
This is a biggie! You never know who you are directing, or who’s tickets you are checking, that could be a big name in the industry, a photographer or editor or it could just be your average watcher, either way you need to make sure that you have your whit’s about you, it doesn’t matter how rude they may seem, one complaint about you to whoever is organizing the event could have you black listed!

 

1.       Bring water and snacks – You most likely will not get a break.
I cannot stress the importance of this point enough!, it is so important to keep hydrated to always make sure you have some water with you, the show I attended had bottles provided, but you never know so always pack one. When I comes to food, imagine primary school

I’m always getting bored.

And I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one.... Bored of boring brands who keep on producing same old same old, but every so often I run across something which really excites me, and therefore to avoid anymore drooping eyelids or palm marks of foreheads I am going to share this find for those of you who haven’t found it yourselves!

ANNA K. Began her journey in the fashion world when she was only 16 as a model and has now managed to build and create a new world of Anna K. She has taken Fashion from the catwalk and transferred it to the streets and it can’t be denied, even by Anna herself, that the brand became successful for its unique mix of “fun & cool” together, but essentially street style is what fueled her break to success. 


She was praised at the Mercedes-Benz Kiev Fashion Days by Italian Vogue when they saw her first collection and that is where her story began. Anna has now shown her collections three seasons in a row at London Fashion Week and is represented on the main International Fashion Trade shows.  Her collections are just eye catching. Simple tee’s with interesting contents has got her souring to the top on the Fashion success ladder.
Without a doubt Anna K is a name that will continue to get bigger and bigger, she think about the consumer as a person and as an everyday person. She wants the public to be wearing her designs and therefore the public want to in return! Her designs are photographed in street style blogs from all over the world as she has her clothing in some of the biggest stored internationally placed around the globe. One of those stores being worldwide known retailer Lane Crawford. 
Why it is so important for the brand?  


Lane Crawford is a big retailing company with stores selling designer label luxury goods in Greater China and online. It has nine points of sale with more than 585,000 square feet of total retail space, including three multi-brand luxury department stores in Hong Kong, two in Beijing, one in Shanghai, one in Chengdu, two Lane Crawford Home stores in Hong Kong specializing in designer furniture and lifestyle accessories, and an online store.
So you heard it from me first, okay? Anna K is a young and talented name who is definitely one to look out for!
