I was invited backstage at the London Fashion Week Fashion Scout Merit Award Show by Toni&Guy, the merit award winner is GYOYUNI KIMCHOE. I've been backstage at many fashion shows over the years, I've worked backstage most of the time I've been backstage, at London Fashion Week the great thing is that I got to go backstage, both for this publication and for Noctis Magazine a few times, simply as a writer. My only purpose was to watch..it's actually really interesting..watching the designer working with the stylist and watching the makeup team work hand in hand with the hair team.
You also pick up a few pointers, like how the Toni&Guy LABELM team (lead by Celia) were using a hair net to set the hair so as to avoid it puffing up.
The hair look mirrored the strong design element in the collection with strong, angular styling. To get the look visit their step-by-step guide.
I also got to speak to the designer about the inspiration behind his collection and he explained how his collection revolves around the good gardener, the gardener who doesn't kill weeds as typical gardeners would do, instead as a soldier in war would help his enemies, this gardner grows weeds. His collection is a symbol and hope for peace . The colours across the collection are earthy, lots of neutrals and khaki shades, and lots of green of course. There are details such as military buttons, large pockets with trimmings. The image is touch, androgynous but with a tough of femininity in some details such as the frills and florals.
