It was a true privilege to be a Lead Stylist for Julien Macdonald OBE SS19 show at London Fashion Week set in the beautiful St John’s church in Hyde Park.
I had three outfit changes to style for the world famous model Izabel Goulart, better known as the Victorias Secret model, Izabel both opened and closed the show in true glamour with magnificent dresses from the Spring Summer ‘19 collection from acid yellow through to glimmering in hand stitched beads and sequins.
Julien Macdonald OBE is a Welsh fashion designer who has appeared as judge on the television programme, Britain & Ireland’s Next Top Model. In 2001, he was named “British Fashion Designer of the Year”, and on 15 March 2001, was appointed as chief designer at Givenchy.
Julien Macdonald launched his own label in 1997 and there began his reputation as a leading British fashion designer whose high octane and glamorous designs were soon to be coveted by international stars such as Kate Beckinsale, Beyonce, Kristen Stewart, Heidi Klum, Kim Kardashian, Rihanna, Katy Perry, Naomi Campbell, Jennifer Lopez and Taylor Swift to name but a few.
In 2001, Julien Macdonald was named at the Elle Style Awards, British Designer Of The Year and the same year he was appointed as successor to Alexander McQueen as creative director of the French fashion house Givenchy, designing both Haute couture and ready-to-wear collections.
In 2003 Julien received the British Glamour Designer Of The Year Award and GQ Womenswear Designer Of The Year, a further nod to his status as an important member of British fashion. It didn’t stop there as Julien was also nominated the following year at the Olivier Awards for his costume designs for the Richard Alston Dance Company’s ‘Shimmer’ at Sadler’s Wells Theatre.
In 2004 Julien decided to focus on his own label and was awarded an Order of the British Empire for his services to the fashion industry.
Julien is the king of glamour and his shows at London Fashion week are always eagerly anticipated and celebrity packed fashion extravaganzas.
