London Fahion Week- Elliot Atkinson

Sunday 18th September, 8am.

First stop for LFW, Spring Summer 2012 for me was the Elliot Atkinson Presentation, which was part of Fashion East at Haunch of Venison.  Fashion East is a non-profit initiative established by the Old Truman Brewery in 2000, to nurture emerging young designers through the difficult early stages of their career.

Georgina Graham from CLM was heading the make-up team.  There was only 6 models to do, and there were more make-up artists than models I think so it was pretty easy.  We were even taking it in turns to nip out to Starbucks to get coffee.  The make-up had a very Rock and Roll feel to it, lots of black smudged around the eyes, and  Mac Careblend oils were used on the skin and eyes to give that wet look.  The whole make-up was done without using one brush. 

We had all the models on their podiums ready to start, but one girl felt really faint, she looked awful, and had to be pulled out at the last minute.  So one outfit didn't get shown in the end which was a big shame!
