With Fashion Scout's Ones to
Watch winners Patrick Li, Yeashin and Yulia Kondranina showcasing
their three new collections at 12:30 today, backstage was well and
truly a hive of activity.
“It's going great,” said
Rebekah Roy, the show's stylist. “It's a first show for them so I
think they're a little nervous but the clothes are extraordinary.
It'll be a really great show this season.” She continued to explain
how she finds “everyone really helpful, really professional and
each year I find we up the ante. It becomes stronger and stronger.”
“It's more dynamic this
season and there are more interchangeable pieces,” One to Watch
winner Patrick Li said about his AW13 collection. On her new
collection, Yeashin stated how “I want it to look very cute but
luxurious. This season the inspiration was Korean traditional wood
furniture and David Hockney paintings.”
When it comes to hair and
make-up due to the creativity of all three creations, both take a
relatively simple approach so as not to take anything away from the
garments themselves. “The hair is glossy, shiny and tight in a very
low ponytail,” explained Toni & Guy's head of hair, Silje
Vincent. “Because the designers are so different, we have to keep
it simple.”
Only a matter of hours away
now, the Ones to Watch show is set to be an exciting one.
