Andy Espin, Midlands Young Fashion Designer Awards

Midlands Young Fashion Designer Awards

30 December 2009 No Comments



Being a Londoner, I sometimes  find myself guilty of a bit of "Big CIty Short Sightedness". Its the phenomenon where people in London forget that  their exist  a vast world outside of London. A short while ago I was invited to a Fashion tradeshow and  I accepted the invitation just assuming that It would be held in London, much to m dissapointment I releaized on the day of the show that the  show was actually in Leeds and I hadn't booked  accomodation or transport..needless to say it didnt end well.

Ive learnt from my mistake and now I am always looking for events happening beyond the M25. The Midlands Young Fashion Designer Awards (MYFDA) is  one such event. Its an annual event created in Birmingham and aims to expose the wealth of creative talent across the Midlands. The MYFDA Awards have established a reputation as a launch pad for cutting-edge regional fashion design talent. The annual event offers up and coming and emerging fashion designers the opportunity to gain invaluable experience on a professional platform while at the same time unearthing some of the most outstanding design talent in the region.

Rat mice mindu head dressAndy Espin sent me some shots he took at french, celebrity harstylist, Charlie Le Mindu's show. As usual the shots are superb. The wigmaker/hairdresser put on a really extravagant show . His hair creations were very avante garde and pushed the limits of fashion. Charlie le Mindu has made a for himself by styling some of the hottest rockers around and by styling har for Blend and I-d Magazine.

 There is one picture from the show that is making waves around the world. Charlie Le Mindu created a Rodent head piece that was made of the carcasses of white mice and rats. Hear is a picture of the model wearing the headpiece and they say "being a model isnt a hard job?". She is obviously a very brave girl and she isnt afraid of rodents.
