Photos from backstage

Here I am bringing you exclusively photos from backstage of fashion shows at Royal Ascot. Most of them were taken before Vivienne Westwood show as the clothes were the most colourful, lively and different - typical Westwood. Enjoy.
Have a stylish day.

My week at Ascot - day 5

Last day is over. It's been a good week of both fun and hard work and now it's over. Matthew Williamson was watching the show and was really happy and then popped into the backstage area to say hallo. How nice of him! I missed a photo having taken with him, but maybe next time.. Lovely stylist to the stars Gemma Shanley came over to see how's everything and also to help pack up. It was a long day, checking if nothing got damaged or lost after all those shows and getting it ready for returns. We celebrated with yet more champagne and said good byes to each other. I've met some great people and made friends I'm gonna keep in touch with and will hope, that we will meet in a year's time when Royal Ascot is gonna be celebrating 300 years.
Have a stylish day.

My week at Ascot - day 4

Friday at Ascot. 4th day of the shows plus rehearsals, so we're pretty good at what we're doing. Everything seemed to go smoothly, despite most people being hungover from last night. No champagne today! After doing the same shows every day, some of the music stuck in our heads and everyone's walking around singing or whistleing bits of it. Despite having lots of fun, I am quite looking forward to going back home tomorrow. Tomorrow's gonna be a big day, with live BBC show this time showing Matthew Williamson. Wonder what he's gonna be like. I spoke to Vivienne Westwood's assistant Rafael quite a few times and he's such a nice guy! I'll try to take loads more photos. Can't wait to bring them all to you.
Have a stylish day.

My week at Ascot - day 3

Another day behind me. Today was a "Ladies day," which is more aimed at women and it meant there was an extra fashion show. This time it was by a designer Mary Katrantzou, who is known for her digital prints. The girls looked stunning and everything went really well. Every day there is also a short live show for BBC, where they interview one of the designers showing and today was milliner Stephen Jones's turn. I spoke to him very briefly and he seemed very nice.
After we stayed in the sunshine, drinking cocktails and relaxed. It was a perfect way to celebrate our hard work. Everything's been going well so far, so let's hope it's gonna stay this way. Two days to go, with plenty of action. Make sure you read me regularly and you can also follow me on Twitter.
Have a stylish day.

My week at Ascot - day 2

Another day at Ascot behind me. Everyone from the team is getting to know each other better and we're having more and more fun. I've met some incredible, very talented people, including two international creative directors for Tony & Guy and been lucky to have my hair cut by one of them. I've been taking loads of pictures and they are all coming up on Sunday, when I get back home, as my iPhone app won't upload them.. Tomorrow is a "Ladies day" and we're all heading for few cocktails after work, which should be fun and I am really looking forward to it. So far we've been working quite hard, but it's got its perks like free champagne with lunch every day. Let's see what tomorrow brings..
Have a stylish day.

My week at Ascot - day 1

All this week I'm gonna be bringing you a special feature about my week working backstage at Ascot's fashion shows. For those who don't know, let me explain that Ascot's horse racing is the number 1 event in social calendar, with the Queen attending every day. For those who paid hundreds for their ticket, there is a series of fashion shows every day. The designers showing are Amanda Wakeley, Matthew Williamson, Vivienne Westwood and Stephen Jones (with outfits from Giles and shoes by Christian Louboutin). Even though the event for public started only today, we've been here since yesterday, when we did all the preparations and rehearsals. I can tell you it was a very hectic day. I'm gonna be bringing you pics from backstage plus photos of my outfits. Stay tuned.
Have a stylish day.
