I got the chance to work with this amazing makeup artist/hair stylist Martin Carter and his creatives at his salon Mr Face. They had to send in the images for L’Oreal Colour Trophy competition and I helped them with styling. One of the images made it to the southern regional final and when they had their big show we won with our second look. We are now in the Grand final!
We work really good together as a team and we have so much fun!
A lot have happened since I moved to London. Working with commercials and short films, but the best thing was when I found about LCS. I missed working in fashion so much but with no network its really difficult. Through the college I met so many industry professionals which led to paid jobs during the course and I also got friends for life.
When I started to work as a stylist I did it with a “learning by doing” philosophy. Now I feel a lot more confident and I learnt so many tricks about styling, as well as the business side of things, here in London.

When I received the email that I was going to work backstage for A COLD WALL on London Fashion Week Mens I got goosebumps and I felt really excited. This time as a dresser and not as a makeup artist as I am used to. I started to count the years when I last worked on a Fashion week and I counted it to 8 years ago. It was on Stockholm Fashion Week for a jewellery brand called Miljaki. At that time I worked only with makeup and I had a lot of shows behind me as a makeup director.
I remember all the preparations before the shows, casting models, come up with ideas for the makeup looks and set up a crew and all meetings with designers and so on…Exiting times and my God I have missed it so much!
When I first had a look at this brand I immediately thought about Off White. After a google search I discovered that the designer Samuel Ross worked with Off White as Virgil Abloh assistant for several years. A COLD WALL is a brand to have your eyes on.
Here is what BOF writes about the brand:
“Within just two years, the brand — known for its logoed t-shirts, distressed hoodies and utilitarian outerwear, which takes style cues from the tribes of the British class system — has seen rapid success. Between 2016 and 2017, A-Cold-Wall reached £1.3 million ($1.7 million) in revenue, while its stockists, which include Ssense, Barneys New York and Antonioli, grew by over 110 percent between Autumn/Winter 2017 and Spring/Summer 2018 seasons to 52. Recent collaborations with Nike and Fragment Design have further increased the brand’s exposure amongst street-savvy Millennial shoppers.”
One of my favourite looks and model.
Me in the middle surrounded by such nice girls, all of them worked backstage as dressers. Most of them are now in my class on London College Of Style.

Since I moved to London I have worked with several short films. Some of them I have done both makeup, hair and costume styling. The last film I did was in december and I was responsible for makeup and hair. One thing I love with working on films is that you get to meet and work with a lot of people. It was 4 intense days, working 12 hours a day and some days outside.
I am so looking forward to see the final result. I liked the script a lot, the story was about a father and a daughter and their struggle in life.
When my husband turned 4o last year I had to come up with a nice birthday gift. And as our family is really interested in food, especially my husband, I booked a table at the Fat Duck.
The whole experience is a journey- inspired by some of Heston Blumentahls favourite childhood holiday memories. And some courses was customised on our memories. We had a really nice evening full of really good food. The best thing?! My husband loved his birthday gift.
