Right now key trends for spring summer are Nu-ance, Sig-nature Puri-tan and Sche-delic. Less is more on the skin but making the eyes and lips making the statement. Eye makeup consists of bright colours in a 60's/70s inspired manner. A wash of metallics and pastels across the eyelid paired with minimal use of eyeliner to keep the face looking fresh. In terms of skin the look is dewy, balmy, glowing, sun-kissed skin with the use of minimal product and highlighters and contouring to create a sculpted look. Lips are bright, with orange and pink tones being most popular.

happy there so I started designing bags to try and apply for an MA in fashion. We decided to move to London and I found LCF, the MA had fashion design and technology and so I studied there and graduated in 2011.

I think the UK system is very well developed and teaches you how to develop your own skills. I think it also helps where you are; London is the best place to get PR and network, there is a lot of focus on London.

I have learnt that its important that as well as beingcreative you need to be commercial. In the end fashionis not for a museum and while you need to be creative,

own business?

From my experience, there are many people who study fashion as the cool thing to do. It is hard and you have to be prepared to allow it to take over your life for the next three years. You have to be hungry enough and if you are then it will be the best thing you will do.I was once told that you could only make it in fashion if you are born into, or marry into money. I believe that anyone from any nancial background can become who they want to be if they are hungry enough. My advice is dont let anyone tell you you cant. And if they do, use it as fuel.Also to any of my fellow dyslexics out there - dyslexia is not a disability it is simply a dierent way of thinking.

What would be your plan B career?
