Cyrenians Charity Catwalk

This evening was the charity catwalk showcasing the collections created by students alongside Visual Merchandising space for each brand, credit can go to Rosie Billington and Chelsi Smith for organising the event and battling through after countless issues with location for the venue it has finally gone ahead and was brilliant! Below are just a few of my (VERY) amateur photography shots to give you an idea what the event was like!

I'd have to give an approximation that about seven or so collection went round the catwalk at the event all photographed and documented so I will be uploaded some more pictures when they do come through! All the collections shown will be available for purchase in the Refreshed store around mid June.

Look Book Preview!

So today in a nervous haze I sent the Summer 2013 Look Book of to print, had quite a few issues in terms of scale and positioning so fingers crossed it will turn out okay! Here's the JPEG version of front and back cover of the document, I'm hoping to get an interactive book posted on here soon but it's being a little tricky!

Knock, Knock Delivery!!

Only just got a chance to give this a mention but I had a wee excited moment yesterday morning as the postman delivered my order of business cards for the brand! Have to say they look fantastic and really represent the brand.. It's all getting a bit professional now!

Edited Shots!

So when reviewing the photo shoot images I felt it was apparent that although sharp they were also slightly bland so I've experimented with using an overlay sympathetic the colour palette of each image to enhance the pictures to make them more interesting upon first view. In all I'm so happy with the outcome of the photo shoot and can't praise Imogen Wall, photographer, and Paige Dawson, Model, enough as they were BRILLIANT! Just working on developing these shots into a full look book now to showcase the entire range and accessories, need to get a shimmy on to ensure it's sent to the printers in time for the deadline on Friday the 24th of May..

Wish me luck!

Every time I look at the two shots below I can't help but feel incredibly inflexible!! I vastly struggle to touch my toes, go Paige!! 

Raw Images for I am Kayleigh Wright for Refreshed! Photographer, Imogen Wall, Model, Paige Dawson

Got the first set of raw images through from photographer Imogen wall a short while ago and they are looking pretty darn good! Going to also put an overlay over the images after I've cleaned them up in a similar style to the Stella McCartney for Adidas range just to spice them up a little bit as I feel there's slightly too much white space but on the whole it's looking promising! Really enjoyed the entire experience and especially playing with the props! Having a sly game of Frisbee mid shoot is always fun right? As far as my look went Paige Dawson, featured model, couldn't have been anymore perfect! She completely communicated the concept I was looking for and was a dream to work with.

Massive thank you to both model and photographer!

Hopefully will getting the edited images on here pretty fast, hope you like what I've got so far!

Completely love the moody attitude in this shot!

So these necklaces were created by spray painting the ring pulls off old cans about to be recycled and then casting them in a shell of perspex, although not related to the materials from the Cyrenians I thought this was a good way to increase the continuity of the waste nothing concept..
