AW13 Photo Shoot

The birds were just waking and the sun rising, as we headed up from Allium B HQ 

to London's East End for our AW 13 Photo Shoot. 

First stop Haggerston Espresso Room aka HER for a truly delicious coffee and some cake for later

We were shooting at the Russian Club again, so as Sarah and Chloe got the lights

 and camera set up,

we got everything ready.  First job is always to check the dresses look good against the backdrops. The grey and teal both looked great, but the lilac wasn't working so it was back to Travis Perkins for more paint and a boiler suit!!

This is our third campaign shot by Sarah at the Russian Club, so with make up done by the wonderful Salina (who will be guest editing our blog next week with how to get the

 Allium B look) and Hannah looking gorgeous, 

we quickly had our first pictures

So after 2 long days shooting and a very big thank you to Sarah, Chloe, Salina,

 Hannah, Emma and Susana, we had our AW 13 campaign

AW13 will be online from next week.

We hope you like the range as much as we do.

Please let us know what you think.

Whatever your age, it's good to have a choice over the right to bare arms or remain covered. 

Even Michelle Obama occasionally keeps her biceps under wraps. So, we're pleased to see that retailers 

have finally cottoned on to the fact by adding that extra bit of fabric into the design process.
