Oxford Fashion Week: Bloggers Preview Party (Part one)

When I arrived at the Jam Factory in Oxford, the room was
absolutely electric and the Bloggers preview was in the Boiler Room Gallery.
The Jam Factory itself is a hustling, bustling place of interesting culture
which completely embodied what Oxford Fashion Week is about.

Whilst I waited to go into the Preview, I faced a beautiful
painting of a field of purple flowers by Elena Henshaw, I was sat next to a
bunch of guys who were beer testing and I am pretty sure I heard French,
German, Polish and Italian with my first 4 seconds of being in the room. It was
a fabulous environment to be in.

I even ran into the lovely Natalie Woodward who looked
completely amazing as usual and she was sweet enough to sit down and do an
interview with me:

Interview with Natalie Woodward

What has been your favourite part of the Oxford Fashion
Studio Season so far?

Oh, That’s a big question, I think walking in Paris at Les
Salons Hoche, that was absolutely stunning, all of the collections were
exquisite, the venue was gorgeous, the makeup and hair looked really well
suited to all of the looks, so yeah, I think that is my favourite part.
Although saying that, Tomorrow’s talk with Clive Arrowsmith, I am so excited to
hear him speak.

What are you excited about for Oxford Fashion Week?

We are walking in the Ashmolean, which in itself is a gorgeous
venue, but to be in the sculpture gallery, I think it will be an absolutely
incredible backdrop, walking in between the sculptures, the audiences will be
sat in those sort of segments and I think that it’s going to be amazing. It
will be very exciting!

What’s your favourite part about being a model within Oxford
Fashion Week? (I asked as she saw herself in the Oxford Fashion Studio video
from Paris)

Sorry, I just saw me again, I think just the opportunity to
be walking for these new and up and coming designers, because I am a young
model myself so to be working with people that are also young in the industry
who have that passion and drive, It’s something that is really unique to the
oxford fashion studio company. So that’s my favourite part about it, and they
also have such incredibly young and fresh creations which is just really great
to see altogether.

I got to do so many lovely interviews with so many different
people which I will share with you all in due time.
