Backstage

Busy Busy Busy… these are the “three” words that define the exact atmosphere in the backstage of a fashion show. Whilst I was in New York, I was invited to witness all that goes on at the backstage parlour of the designers “Alice and Olivia”. The location was wonderful, a very industrial/chic open space with incredible natural light leaking into the large floor to ceiling windows. Every single person in that room had a mission. They had a purpose and you could see it in their eyes, “I need to get this done”. I actually felt a little useless myself (another blogger taking photos) eheh. Everyone there was super sweet to me and even took the time to explain certain steps they were taking be it with hair or make-up. The tables were over-flowing with make-up and whilst the Make-up artists and Hair Stylists were franticly finishing their tasks, the models they were “dressing-up” could not of had a more relaxed and chilled look on their faces! It was inspiring to say the least. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and truly hope to go back to New York in September and check out more runways and their preparations.

Ocupados ocupados ocupados... são estas as "três" palavras que definem exatamente o clima dos bastidores de um evento de moda. Enquanto estive em Nova Iorque, fui convidada a testemunhar tudo o que se passava nos bastidores dos designers "Alice and Olivia". O espaço era maravilhoso: aberto, muito industrial/chique e com uma luz natural incrível, que passava pelas janelas enormes desde o chão ao teto! Toda a gente dentro daquela sala tinha uma missão! Eles tinham um objetivo a cumprir e conseguíamos ver isso nos olhos deles, do género "Eu preciso de acabar isto". Senti-me um pouco inútil... (era basicamente só mais uma blogger a tirar fotos ehehe). Foram todos super queridos comigo e até chegavam mesmo a explicar-me alguns passos que estavam a fazer no cabelo ou na maquilhagem. As mesas estavam carregadas de maquilhagem e enquanto os maquilhadores e os cabeleireiros estavam frenéticos para terminarem todas as tarefas, os modelos que se estavam a preparar não podiam estar com um ar mais relaxado! Foi completamente inspirador.
Eu adorei a experiência e espero voltar a Nova Iorque em Setembro!
