We seem to be flying through 2007 at a rate of knots, this week we’ve been reflecting on the latest Profile event with lots of feedback, videos and images streaming our way. If you couldn’t make it check out the video coverage on the British Satellite News – Click Here
Profile Designers & The Face of Divinity 2007
Sunday night (11th November) a selection of Profile designers saw their creations come alive once again at the Face of Divinity catwalk final. Filmed by FashionTV at the Millennium Mayfair at Grosvenor Square, models wore designs from the likes of Catharina Eden, Stateless, Sugarhill and Death for a Doll amongst others.
Raj from Shyamoki had this to say about the event:
"I just wanted to let you know that we felt that the event on Sunday evening was another great opportunity for Shyamoki to showcase our work. We had about 5 garments on the catwalk and also most importantly FTV came backstage and interviewed us. In addition, I met some great people of different parts of the fashion industry. Thanks again Fashion Enter."
Well-known faces Trinny & Susannah, Nichole de Carle and Annelle Berrabah from the Sugarbabes lined up the judging panel and announced Danielle Foster and Yolande Dior as the winners. Keep an eye out for all the video and image coverage coming to FashionCapital soon…
