Charlie Le Mindu SS12 Paris Fashion Week

Charlie Le Mindu Burka Curfew Spring Summer 2012 Collection.
Recently I joined Charlie's team of designers, milliners and hairstylists. In my spare time over the last few months i have been in Charlie's studio preping hairy things for his new collection. I then went with his team to work on the Paris fashion week show.
I spent alot of time lying on the floor cutting very long dresses. I had white tights on and took hairy legs to another level. Paris is beautiful, Charlie's team are so much fun, i loved it!

Excuses for not updating...

Firstly, Omar and i got married! How very grown up of us.

And secondly, i worked on Sally Tran's feature film Timeslow.
I ran the Hair, Make Up, Styling and Costume departments, i was crazy busy but it was crazy fun! The biggest creative project i've worked on so far, i made wigs, hairpieces, accessories etc.
The film is out next year, hold onto your movie seats, it is going to knock you off them !

And then, after all of that, Omar and I moved to London....and now another adventure begins....

Studio Make Up School!

Hair, Make Up and Styling by me!
Last weekend I had the chance to attend Studio Make Up School (SMUS) in Wellington with Make Up Artist Michelle Perry and Photographer Tim Watson. I learnt SO much, I left completely dazzled and inspired. On top of that I have taken away these beautiful images. I recommend SMUS to anyone interested in learning make up in Wellington. Not only will you learn from the best but you'll have lots of fun doing it!

Eye Candy

These snazzlers work at CANDY. I loved this store. I got thirsty before visiting the first time and had a few Chu-Hi's. I don't know if that is why I was crazily racing around throwing clothing into the changing room before even checking the size, maybe I was just overwhelmed with attire excitement. They sell young designers and vintage, lots of quirky accessories and spectacles, they even had hair earrings! Definitely worth a look if you're in Tokyo, would probably be my first stop.

Hunting for treasure in Tokyo?

What's your preferred attire? Ride 'em Cowboy? Original Gangster? Glamour puss? Member of the 80's Pop Band The Bangles? Sailor? Magician? Soldier? Trophy winning Athlete? Well, whatever you are, whether it's weird or wonderful or both, I personally guarantee you will find something that tickles you in your fancy dress at Nude Trump!

Hey! Why don't you get yourself a snazzy outfit and go out dancing with all of the other fun looking people at one of Nude Trump's owner's bars in Shibuya? Upstairs is Trump Room (it's dark and red with taxidermy and about 500 beautiful chandeliers) and the other is Trump House (with gold and silver padded walls!). Find your way there half way down this page.
Me and my love Omar at Trump House. Not a very good picture of the bar but you can see how cool it makes you look (besides the smoking- that's not cool).
