With Love Betty: sorry sorry sorry..........

I know, I have been terrible at posting on my blog...........well that's going to stop now.

Christmas has been pretty hectic for me at With Love Betty, the store did great over the festive period, we've been trading for just over 4 months now and so much has happened its crazy!!!

So lets give you a quick breakdown of whats been going on.........

In November With Love Betty collaborated with the 6th form college here on the isle of Wight, working with their year 12 fashion class. They were given the opportunity to enter a competition to design the Christmas window scheme for the store. This gave them the chance to gain work experience in the industry by working alongside a brief for a client. They had to research and present their ideas in a visual format in a professional manner. The winners, Meg & Khya, designed a contemporary window scheme, working towards there strengths in photography. They asked to use the clothes and accessories in store and styled and photographed their chosen model in a location which reflected the identity of With Love Betty. A main picture was then chosen and framed in a antique frame with smaller, Polaroid style photos hanging either side by string and tiny wooden pegs. They also dressed two busts in the clothes they used in the shoot and accessorised the window with props and accessories. The overall out come was fantastic. They worked in a extremely professional manner, taking the project fully into their own hands but kept me in the loop by checking I was happy with all their decisions. The window was left through-out Christmas until the new year.
