Hi Again. Hope you had a fab bank holiday.

 

This will be the last entry before the event on Thursday. We have really been ticking things off our ‘To Do’ lists this week, and making final arrangements to make sure the night goes with full swing. Hayley and I are both full of emotion, we’re anxious, panicking and stressed, but most of all excited! 

 

 

Luckily we have had lots of people volunteer to help us out on the day with dressing and hospitality. Wearing our ‘Fashion Garden’ t-shirts and serving Beringer’s Pink Sparkling Wine, we hope they will help us to pull off a fabulous event.

 

We have had a lot of exciting people confirm attendance for the evening, from fashion magazines, boutiques, event companies and photographers. We also have three film crews present, including Toni & Guy Media and Channel 4. Expect some celeb spotting…well maybe!

 

Event set up starts on Tuesday. We are decking out our exhibition with fabulous ethnic orientated furniture and accessories from the Pier, and the beautiful work from six of our designers.

 

 

On Wednesday our Goodie Bag contents arrives! We have some cool bits to put in them including info about the fab outlets in Kingly Court, Levi’s merchandise and cool accessories. Some of the Kingly Court outlets have donated top prizes to win on the night, including vouchers, treatments, and discounts. The majority of outlets will be open aswell, running hot promotions, music and sweets. So make sure you go inside to bag yourself an outfit or vintage find, for serious after partying!!

 

Hayley and I will be arriving again at Kingly Court bright and early at 8am on Thursday to set up the staging and lighting with the production team. Can you believe it takes that long?! The exhibition will be open from 11am and then open officially by Daisy de Villeneuve at 6pm.

 

Once everyone is in at 7pm we will kick off the show, showcasing the 12 other designers, who are also in a frenzy and a panic, making final adjustments. Our male and female models are beautiful, and once styled to perfection by Toni & Guy and make up from the LCF, they will really do the garments justice.

 

Well back to the busy organising and working out the logistics…we have spider diagrams, brainstorms, ‘To Do’ lists, charts and schedules all over our desk…really better sort them out!

 

Hope you all can make it, we can’t wait to see you there. Ticket info: www.fashiongarden.co.uk/contact_us (there it is again).

 

Love

Sarah and Hayley xx

P.S. Please all pray for good weather! J
