Fashion Stars Window Display
One night in December I couldn't sleep, "How could I let more people know about Fashion Stars?
I had already put ads in the local paper a few times, printed up and handed out flyers, sent my e-news letter, had four editorials in the press. I just kept thinking what can I do that's creative and not to expensive? I need people to see Fashion Stars, then I though about the empty shops to let in Neutral Bay and Mosman. If I created a window display it would brighten up the place and showcase Fashion Stars at the same time. I was so excited I couldn't wait to call the real estate agents the next morning about my bright idea!
First thing I called Frank Bird at Peter Hill First National 02 9929 8944, he was so nice and keen on the idea too. By the end of the day he had a shop for me on 7 Waters Road, Neutral Bay for me. I got straight to work on my display and by the end of the week it was up.
The shop was been let out today, best off luck to the new owner.
Diane at Baby Boomer the neighbor in the shop next door she is so lovely, if you fancy a facial pop in and see her or call 02 9904 4476.
Every day I'm thinking about how market my new business. Fashion Stars has been so well received, I know it's going to be big, like all new businesses we just need to get the word out about our fantastic service.
If you have any fun creative ways to help me spread the word, please add your comments below or email me rachel@fashionstars I would love to hear from you.
Thanks Rachel

I love these two books by Laird Borrelli. Fantastic for inspiration I'm a fan on Jason Brooks who is featured in Fashion Illustration now and Singh Sara featured in Fashion Illustration Next. Both books show artists using many types of media from pen and paper, to watercolour to Photoshop and Illustrator.

Alexander McQueen dies aged 40
A very sad day for the fashion world. Lee Alexander McQueen, fashion designer, born 17 March 1969 died 11 February 2010.
In 1992 Alexander started his MA at Central Saint Martins college London. His big breakthrough came in 1994 when his graduate collection caught the eye of the fashion stylist Isabella Blow. I graduated in 1995 and like all british design graduates followed his work. Most designers dream to have a career like his, creating his own label and working for a major fashion label. In 1996 he took up the role of chief designer at the Parisian fashion house Givenchy.
McQueen was the bad boy of fashion who was beloved by the establishment.
