I got to shoot backstage for Ashley Isham this season. Ashley is one of my all time favourite designers and having worked with him before I knew we where in for an amazing show. Here is what you don’t really see, the real roots of London Fashion Week. The blood sweat and tears…well not the tears as it was incredibly calm and wonderful backstage and the show was mind blowing!

I did manage to get a lovely snap of Ashley and his sister Khaty.

Ashley is delightful, very graceful and highly talented. He started making his own clothes aged 12. A lifetime of devotion, skill and passion has gone into each and every one of his shows, with each one getting better and better. I can truly say this one was something of pure beauty and the ravishing dresses had us holding your hands to our faces and gasping in utter delight.

Backstage was easy going, relaxed and almost spa like. What has happened to the dramatic, rushed hot and bothered fashion week I ounce knew. I Think it has something to do with the organisation from Selina at freelancetheworkspace.com as it was heaven to be part of. Don’t get me wrong there where a few people rushing about here and there trying to find models that where a little late coming from other shows but the cool calmness was apparent and Selina herself is such a wonderful calm person, I believe it has rubbed off!
