Behind the scenes

Things have been really hectic these past few months that I had completely forgotten to put up some interesting behind the scenes photos of our shoot in Dec! These are completely unretouched, I think they still look fab, thanks to an amazing photographer.


This pose almost gave me a heart attack when Kateryna climbed up the console and practically draped herself onto it. Adding to the stress was the owner standing behind me with an omg face and huge eyes.We took 2 test shots of this before I interjected and said not to go ahead with this pose. If the furniture breaks, omg.

Kateryna adjusting her hair. At that point we had mucked around so much with her hair it was starting to get all frizzy.

GlamRockChic is coming to almost 3 months old and there are still so many things I have not done to elevate the brand. Many do not realise that I also have a day job to support myself as I continue investing into the label. It is not ideal, yes I do admit as it is extremely exhausting juggling a day time job and then working on my designs, talking to the factory, going for meetings and travelling during my days off. Someone would say get an investor, pump in more money, then you will be able to focus 100% on it. At this point when the brand is starting out, I appreciate having full control of the business and especially the design process, and having external investor pressures and partner disagreements doesn't seem right to me. Stress like this could cause me to lose my creative mojo.

But never say never....

It makes my day when I get to make girls and their feet happy.

I can't wait to show you my 2nd collection! Thank you to those who have supported GlamRockChic by way of editorial feature or purchase for this 3 months, I hope it will continue! Spread the news! Also, any feedback is precious to me, so write away to customer@glamrockchic.com should there be any good or bad things to inform.

Till my next post...
