Capturing on camera the designs as you see them (and want the world to see them) is a real high-point.

Creating the right images to speak for the brand is so critical for sales and PR. To be honest, I didn’t quite get it right for the first collection so I wanted to learn from that. With 2 shoots behind me I also felt more confident and brave so wanted to make a bolder statement about the brand. So…bigger budget, new model, new photographer, open mind…

I found a fantastic photographer ‘Hugh Miller’ who was very easy to collaborate with. A true creative who listened, suggested and pushed the possibilities (and delivered). We ended up using the back-drop of a gritty, industrial mill to set-off the luxury of the silks. Watching the shoot I could see the gowns evoking a grace and elegance in the model – despite the location and the cold – which is captured beautifully in the photographs. Very satisfying to witness as that’s exactly how I want women to respond when wearing the gowns.

The photographer, Hugh Miller, (photo below) who kindly provided the below comments on fashion photography.Hugh Miller

“The main point to fashion photography is to show off the product, one can spend all the time in the world setting the scene with hair and make-up, fancy lighting etc. but if you can’t see the clothes what’s the point? To any photographers starting out; make sure your studio has a nice sofa, clients won’t come back unless they can sit comfortably with a coffee and watch the show!”

The new brands recognized with the award were:

We were profiled during a conference for international press and buyers and invited by the Mayor of Paris to a private party at the Museum of Modern Art on Saturday night. Dream-come-true stuff!

It’s a lot of work to participate in the show before, during and after – but it’s worth every late night. I came away feeling really energised and inspired. I’m a few years away from having a huge glossy stand with it’s own champagne bar and catwalk…but it’s good to have a goal! My overriding impression from the show was that the world is a very big place…it’s really opened up possibilities that I wouldn’t have had access to. Bravo Paris!

It’s exciting to see the designs come to life as they arrive from my sample makers. But it doesn’t always go according to plan, as you can see here…

This nightgown is cut on the bias with a low cowl back. In the black silk it slouches beautifully, exaggerating the curve from the small of the back to the derriere. In the ivory it looks like something for catching apples with! Same silk, same weight, same quality, same manufacturer – but different dyes have different effects on the silk which has resulted in the ivory silk being too stiff for this design. So…not quite back to the drawing board but I’ve had to change one of the colours (to a warmer cream – which I’m warming to a lot actually, softer on the skin) and go back to my sample maker. Apologies for the amateur photography and model (me), but I wanted to illustrate the point. 17 days to the show…

Nerys really has done it again: a satin chiffon silk lingerie bag, super-soft silk cuffs for the ultimate spoildage (I invented the word!) and a gorgeous sheer silk kimono gown that’s guaranteed to make you feel like billionaire.

The very intimate ‘And God Created Woman‘ label is such a ’something’, as they’ve got some of the most pretty bedroom accessories I’ve seen in my lifetime.

All their pieces are made from the finest in silks, Egyptian cotton, feathers and goose down; all selected to feel velvety-soft on the skin for bedroom use. These excellent fabrics result in superb quality products that just scream out decadence.
