For the last couple of weeks I have been working with Velocity Worldwide and Foyleside Shopping Centre in the planning stages of their Autumn/Winter style event which took place last Saturday. I was given the fun task of being the stylist for the event and I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed every second of it.

We collaborated with some absolutely stunning models from CMPR Ireland and I styled them from a selection of the fabulous shops, all of which are available in Foyleside (Derry/Londonderry).

I focused on a few key trends from the current season for the show, from pastels to faux furs and tartans to monochrome and finished off with some gorgeous party gear for the Christmas festive season.

The event took place in two separate sections, the “living dolls” which saw our beautiful models replace the mannequins in the shop windows, showcasing the latest gear, followed by the catwalk shows which transcended the ground floor of the centre.

Katie Larmour hosted our enchanting  “Narnia” themed shows, during which the models appeared from inside a custom made wardrobe. We also held a competition where customers could text their favourite looks from the Living Dolls section and 5 lucky winners got to take home the outfit of their choice!

If you missed out on the shows, be sure to check out the Style Guide which I put together. It is available in most of the stores in Foyleside and outlines this seasons latest trends, celeb styles and so much more.

For the event I chose to be cool and comfortable so I wore a loose fitting pleated skirt and stacked black boots, both from Primark, a vest top from the “Isabel Marant for H&M” collection and a floppy sunhat from Topshop.
