Hey guys! Here's more of what went down on the day itself of the Wonderstellar x Attica Fashion show! This isn't my first time being involved in behind the scenes stuff for fashion shows having helped organize the first Slightly Scarlet by SMU's Business Society doing the marketing and on the day wardrobe management, but this was definitely a much different experience since I was doing the photography and the hair styling (I have many secret talents i guess? Muahaha.)

Arrived early around 5:00PM on 7th June. Took some test shots during full dressed runway rehearsals because it's easier to get more angles before the club was full!

 Really lovely and friendly bunch of girls :) None of that pretentious I am a model, you are a lowly being crap. Considering they had such a short time to practice so many sets of criss cross walking and posing all over the stage, I think the models were really professional and picked it up super fast!

After that it was rush, rush, rush to prep the models for the show! There were lots of extra friendly hands around to help, and I didn't take many pictures because I was busy getting the models hair gone! Terribly envious of their long flowy hair but on the other hand you feel like crying because it takes a million years to curl!!! But they were ever so helpful anyway, helping me hold the mousse and not complaining at all about the wait.

In the mean time people were trickling in just in time for the show to begin! The photo wall was seriously tricky to work with. Note to self: Buy. A. Bigger. Flash.

Hey guys! Here are some sneak peek photos of the Wonderstellar x Attica Fashion Show that happened last Friday at Attica Too. Shooting for the show was probably one of the most challenging experiences I've had ever had, but it really tested me as a photographer. Because of the perplexing light conditions in the club that could range from blindingly bright to extremely low light and washed out, and the fact that my subjects were constantly moving, I had to work creatively and push for a kind of film / urban cool vibe that would work with and even enhance the conditions I had to get these photos, but I'm really pleased with the result! :)

And did I mention how friendly the models were? I definitely haven't worked with many before, but I was really pleasantly surprised, and not to mention they're all really gorgeous too (duh). So there's that split second when you're there in the media stand, running around like a chicken trying to get the best angles while the models walk down the runway, and then they'll make a special pose and smile just for your camera, and your heart melts. Oh, inferiority! Hahahha. But I guess I'm used to being the person behind the scenes. Kudos to Wonderstellar for pulling together such an amazing and cohesive fashion show!

Po, Os and I decided to check out Pop & Loft: FAM-ILY, an event organized by the ever cool online retail store Eriin, that curates independent designers from around Asia. We were fortunate enough to be introduced to Kate through Osman, who is one of the co-owners of the business, and it was great being able to pick her brains about what she felt about the online retail scene. The most important thing I took away was how she explained that she and her partner work great together because they have such different yet complementary skill sets that fill in the gaps, which makes tons of sense of course.

The event itself was small but cosy, held at East 8, New York Fusion Tapas + Bar (I highly recommend trying the Spicy Yellowfish Cubes with Roe. Yum!) I was also pretty tempted to pick up some of the jewelry pieces available, my personal favourite was definitely the simple yet elegant pieces by Mossie & Bee (all available online at Eriin of course!) and this top by Nikicio. So yeah, after this event, I'll definitely be watching this online store a lot more closely and I can't wait to see what else they bring in!
