CHARLOTTE OLYMPIA

Fashion Week is still in full swing and that's a good thing, because I still have plenty of stories to tell about London Fashion Week. We were actually backstage at Charlotte Olympia. And you should know, I'm quite a fan of that. I can't take a step in those towering heels, but the accessories are tempting and the shows by Charlotte Olympia are always a party. So there's plenty of reason to take a look backstage. I immediately dove into the beauty room, where it was suspiciously quiet. The models were already out for the rehearsal. Good news, because no stress and plenty of time to pull makeup artist Val Garland for M.A.C Cosmetics aside to discuss the look. And it was strikingly innovative (thin eyebrows, whaaah!). Oh, and Lil was secretly watching between the racks and could actually touch the shoes (real Olympia’s in hand, woehoe!), something that is normally strictly forbidden. And we even got our hands on the mood board which was the total inspiration for the show. So yes, all the rules that apply backstage have been broken, but because of that we can give you a special report. Just take a look.
