TPFF2015 Program Launch

Today I was backstage with more hats than usual on. Not only was I able to do Style Voyeur up close and personal, it is now my job to be involved. In February I started working at TPFF as the Industry Liaison and part of my role is to Produce the 2015 campaign. Today we presented that campaign via our new program to the media, alongside a fashion moment which featured designers from each of our shows at Fashion Paramount this year. The idea for today’s fashion moment was to represent the campaign brief which focused on high glamour and strength of character, primarily played out by our Festival Face, model Tiah Eckhardt – but today translated beautifully through all of our 13 models who took part in the showcase. We presented the campaign feel through the exquisite gowns each model wore and tied it all together with uniform moody hair and make-up. Each model was adorned with a custom made headpiece by Reny Kestel millinery in black worn over cascading wavy hair extensions that looked so natural it was effortlessly dramatic.

As you can see above and below, every element came together beautifully and that is in so small part thanks to the efforts of Bridget Hudson Styling, Make-up Artist Carol Mackie for MAC Cosmetics and Hair Director, Melanie at Reno’s for L’Oreal Professionnel.

For those who didn’t attend this morning, I hope this finds you well.
