Last weekend was the Sandbanks polo in which we were asked by the fabulous Julian Bennett to put on a fashion show and we thought it is only fair to share that experience with you.
Kimberley and I arrived, unfortunately rather late on Wednesday evening due to a slight problem with road closures and getting lost… but that’s not really important. Anyway, Thursday morning we were up bright and early to go and meet the beautiful models and get them fitted. Luckily for us the Polo is situated right on the most beautiful beaches in the UK, Sandbanks so as soon as we had finished for the day made camp on the beach and got our tan on. We even had a cheeky swim.
The following day was the first day of the polo. We arrived around 2pm so we could enjoy the Polo, atmosphere and cheeky glass of bubbly before we had to be backstage getting prepared for the 5:30 fashion show. Innu London was one of 5 designers including Amoire, Laguna Star, Thomas Farthing and Jo Black Craze. We had the pleasure of working alongside Jo Black Craze during London Fashion Week earlier this year in February. The first show went extremely well, resulting in polo goers approaching us after the show to congratulate and even request to buy the dresses. All in all a great success naturally treating ourselves to a glass of champagne or 2…
The last day of the Polo, Saturday was much busier and therefore more nerve-wracking for us as we had 2 shows to do that evening. And especially as Kimberley decided to add 2 more dresses to line-up at the last minute!!! But as always we managed to sail through and put on yet another fantastic show that was very well received by the amazing crowd and I can safely say we’d be more than happy to do it all over again next year.
A special thanks to the models, DFMA Make-Up, Dune Hair and Beauty, Richard Budd Photography and of course Julian and Natalie for directing and organising the whole thing.
