Sorry for not posting last week. It has been a very hectic and exciting time. I had the pleasure of working with Nathanaelle Couture during Paris Fashion Week. They had a fashion show at VIP Room in Paris and then we did a location shoot at their amazing house.
One thing I miss about being a hairdresser is doing fashion shows and all the chaos that is included with them. We had 12 models, a full team of make-up artists, hairdressers, designers, and photographers all crammed into the back room. At first, everybody was taking their time and getting their things set up as usual. Then it's like somebody turned on the light switch and it ramped up to 88mph. Before I knew it there was mere minutes before the show started. Models were getting into their assigned order, hair and make-up were doing final touches to make sure everything was perfect, Nathanaelle looked over everybody to make sure everything was in order, and I headed upstairs to get ready for the show.
I hadn't been up there since we arrived when it was empty. I go through the door and there were loads of people sitting up there waiting for the show. Making my way through the crowd I finally get to my spot, ready for the show. It opens with Karin Soiref walking up to the catwalk and singing a live performance as the models came out one by one around her. Flashes were going off like strobe lights, music was fantastic, and the outfits were magnificent. It was really an honor to be there and experience this, especially seeing all the backstage work that goes into it.
The next two days, we meet everybody at the house to start the location shots. It was really amazing how many cool shots we could get in the house. Nathanaelle has an incredible talent with styling scenes for the shots and adding little touches to the looks. It was a joy working with her and the incredible models. A huge shout out to the three models that worked with us over the next two days. They were troopers and incredible to shoot, they even endured the cold in dresses and didn't complain once. I'm excited to work with the models more while I'm here in Paris and working with Nathanaelle when I visit America.
