BACKSTAGE PASS FROM ME TO YOU!

Audi Presents: The Art of Progression

Art In The Cold? That is what I call this fabulous show, held at the historic Evergreen Brick Works presented by Audi.



My self and many others got the awesome opportunity to work backstage, assisting the models to get dressed to show off the beautiful collections on stage. Three designers: Joeffer Caoc, Dimitri Chris and Nada showed off there SS2011 collections. Joeffer, which was one of the first to send his models in his collection down the runway in acid tribal prints, sequine tanks, gold cuffed shorts, striped pieces, and fitting maxi dresses. Then Dimitri Chris which was second with his collection sending the males down the runway in tailored shorts striped suits, and capelets, and last but not least the beauty Nada . They each opened their show with a white Audi. Now that is a way to show off a SS2011 collection.

Unfortunately, I did not get the opportunity to see how the show came to life on the runway because I was too busy in the back getting my assigned model dressed. Eventually my work was done - I had some leisure time to have a drink and mingle with my colleagues. Finally, deciding to end my long night after leaving straight from school and heading straight to the show. Sitting in the lounge room for almost 2 hours stuffing my face with some yummy pasta, salads and pizza with red bull to drink; which I must add did not give me no sort of energy, and working backstage. Which was fantastic, but wild, working on crunch time and already short of backstage dressers you can only imagine how frustrated Lauren Chisholm was at the beginning. To end it all it was amazing, I got a rush being backstage seeing everything go on in front of my very two eyes and being apart of such art, meeting such great people, I ate, and I got some alcohol in my system. Like really, what’s more better than that!

The following day, really wanting to see how the runway looked – I jumped online, YouTube to be exact, knowing that it would be on there and there is where I got to watch the FABOLOUS show - I have to say the Audi car driving down the runway was outstanding and Nada, and Joeffer female collection was just “FABOLOUS!”

Biker Beyonce - Dereon F/W2010-11

Hey my FFA’s
So I came across Beyonce looking might fine and fierce in her  FW2010/11 campaign for Dereon posing on a motorbike which was photographed by Tony Duran and styled by her mother Tina Knowles. The collection included studded leggings, lace biker shorts, sharp-shouldered minidress and high-waisted pants, and for the accessories she wore oversized jewellery and spiky ankle boots


With her killer 1960s pin-up girl, biker-chic look Beyonce brings out the Sasha Fierce. Rocking some heavy-duty tattoos, a platinum blond wig and Smokey eyes she is sure looking like a true bad ass!

so you must be wondering if Beyonce tattoos  are real. Well just to let you know they are! Haha, just kiddin’ , its only temporary people.



The body art was specially crafted for the shoot by airbrush makeup brand Temptu. Tina Knowles was so pleased by the outcome of the art work that she decided to make the transfers available to all. Dereons limited edition designs will be launched Nov.1st at Sephora stores. The temporary body art will last for 2 – 5 days, at the cost of $18. So if you have some tattoo urges want that badgirl – chic look but don’t want it on forever. Then get your self the Dereon Temporary Tattoo Kit.
