| Tallulah Morton opens the Jaime Lee show |
On Thursday evening the 12th September, Western Australian designer
Jaime Lee Major premiered her new collection
Light Magic at the
Perth Fashion Festival to rave reviews. The collection features 22 insanely embellished hand beaded looks combining
Swarovski crystal detailing, french lace, original digital prints and silk tulle. Held inside the city museum, top model
Tallulah Morton (who features in our next issue) opened the show on a catwalk made of perspex mirror garnished with a floral garden set built by Rebecca Grace from
Natural Art Flowers. The opening dress featured 200 metres of silk cut flowers and some of the dresses have nearly 700 hours work of individual beading. The inspiration behind the collection was based on the way in which light plays within the stained glass windows of the medieval cathedrals of Europe. The following is a brief backstage diary of the girls transforming for the show - with regular
Black collaborator
M.A.C. directing beauty headed by the calm and collected Carol Mackie and hair constructed by
Brad Ngata for the
L'Oreal Creative team. Look out for the next issue of
Black which will feature an exclusive interview with Jaime Lee!
