A much needed creative injection

Day 4 - This was the final day of Fashion WEEK, which is primarily a week of shows for invited buyers and media. Fashion WEEKEND is targeted at the public which anyone can buy tickets to come along and view some of the shows shown earlier in the week as well as the Designer Garage Sale, and lots of other girly fun things!

The first show of the morning was the Phoenix - Truly Outrageous show. These guys are a cosmetic brand so their show was a very different from the other designer shows. It was based around the Truly Outrageousness of Jem (and the Holograms). For all those pre-80's kids, you can find out who Jem is here.

It was a pretty incredible show with so much colour, energy and creativity. The models were more like dancers and it was one of my favourite shows of the week.

Kimberly Crossman - former Shortland Streeter, and insanely energetic pocket rocket!

Bronwyn Turei - Go Girls actress

 

Also this day was the Miramoda show, which was a collection of Maori designers. 

Then another Designer Collection show, and later that night was the Westpac Red Collection. This was another invite-only event for all the big Westpac clients, with a few celebs here as well. There was a bit of a greek theme going on, complete with live human statues, which were pretty cool. The champagne was flowing (Louis Roederer, no less), and it was quite the night to rub shoulders with some the richlist.

 

Bearice Faumuina - shes so beautiful in person!

Got chatting with these guys back stage who were super nice. The CVE, which I'm told stands for Corporate Voice Experience.  I'd never heard of them before but apparently they're currently No. 6 on iTunes, so a few other people must have.

By this stage in the week, my brain is starting to go to mush and I'm trying to break through the creative block. Being able to come back day after day to try new things and perfect your technique is great, but I'm getting weary.

But there's still a buzz at every show so mentally I don't feel tired - just creatively.  

My feet are also super sore from standing on unforgiving concrete all day, as are my shoulders from carrying 6kg of camera gear on my back.

But the thought of a nice loooooong massage when I get home and a good nights sleep in my own bed is keeping me going.

It's still super awesome to be here, so I shouldn't be complaining!

Not long to go now.
