The past month has been very interesting and exciting!! I had to cancel my Paris trip to allow scheduling of other things but will hopefully go before the end of the year. Here's a flavour of what I've been up to instead...
Kerry
from Nolcha was in London for a couple of weeks so we were in meeting after
meeting and really preparing for Nolcha Fashion Week ( www.nolchfashionweek.com) London
which I will be directing in Feb 08.
Nolcha Fashion Week is a great project and I’m very excited and passionate about what Nolcha are doing as a whole to offer designers opportunities on an international scale to get their products out there!!
I
attended the Kyzar Chic fashion show for designer Kalikas Armour showcased at
the exclusive collection in South Kensington. His collection was very sharp and formal. I
really liked the cuts and fit of his clothing. I was extremely tired, can you
believe?? People usually don’t picture the two words “Yolande and Tired”
together. I’m only human what can I say.
“Celebrating the fusion of fashion and music”
La Geneve North ( www.lagenevenorth.co.uk ) have launched a new monthly event entitled “Celebrating the fusion of fashion and music” in association with Fat Talent (www.fattalent.com) . The first event kicked off on 28th October and was a great success!! Very entertaining guys so why not pop down to the next one which is on November 25th at Inn on the Green, Portobello.
The monthly show aims to ‘Celebrate the fusion of fashion and music’ by combining the two into one spectacular informal evening.
Three up and coming designers were given the opportunity to showcase their designs to a crowd of music and fashion enthusiasts at the renowned creative Arts venue 'Inn on the Green'. Just a stone throw away from Portobello.
The night consisted of live entertainment and a fashion show destined to support the UK’s best emerging talents in both music and fashion. With a diverse crowd of passionate music and fashion enthusiast in attendance the night was a complete success!!
If you are a designer and would like to showcase your designs at one of our monthly events then email:

Show start time: 19.30

Genevieve (My fashion art collection- www.lovegenevieve.co.uk
) will be featured exclusively at ‘Ghana Fest’ in December. Ghana Fest fashion
evening is London’s first
fashion show dedicated to African female designers. A unique couture show with
an African twist, the evening will display an array of high fashion garments
from the contemporary fashion scene, combined with innovative African inspired
designs.
I am in the process of designing a bespoke range for the night and am really looking forward to it and how people attending will react to it.

MY ITALIAN COUTURE PHOTO SHOOT:
I styled the new La Geneve North shoot based on the theme “Italian Couture”. The models for the shoot were the gorgeous Maela le nen Davey who had gorgeous big red hair and very distinct features and the beautiful Muna . Our Make-up Artist for the day was the lovely Nadine Leighton –( www.nadineleighton.co.uk )who I have previously worked with. The hair stylist was our own lovely Latifah Jolie and our fantastic photographer was Caitlin McColl (http://www.flickr.com/photos/gooba55 )whose awards and recognitions have included, an exhibition in Paris for the Musée de l'Elysée An exhibition at The Refectory in London Runner-Up in the NYAS photography competition Winner in the Guardian Unlimited Travel Competition Winner of a Shoot Experience Competition
