DRESS REHEARSALS: BACKSTAGE WITH HAMPUS & GEORGY

5 pm - roughly two hours before the show starts, things are buzzing backstage. hampus' is backsstage, and along with boyfriend charry, he is dressing his models and putting last minute touches to his garments. for georgy, his collection was not chosen to debut at the show, but that doesn't mean he's sulking in the sidelines. far from it, he is front and center helping his classmates dress their models. his every move is being covered by russia's rntv, which is shooting a very intimate documentary of him and his life in london. in the meantime, the loreal hair and make up team is busy prepping the models, and louise wilson, course director, is running a tight ship backstage and on the catwalk....

hampus is the picture of calm backstage, where he is prepping his collection for the catwalk presentation.

georgy too is backstage. in addition to helping, he is being interviewed by reporter and crew from rntv. once again, he shows his magical skill of posing for several cameras while chatting with reporters at the same time. lord, should we all be this talented.

it's busy as all get out, but we still made time for a close up with the paparazzi. thankfully, my hair has calmed down a bit (not that the state of my hair should be part of the narrative for this blog, but it is equally important.)
