Winter Kate Fashion Film Project

Winter Kate was launched in 2009, by celebrity designer and television personality Nicole Richie, with SS10 being the brand’s debut collection. The brand has a signature relaxed, bohemian style which is influenced by Richie’s admiration of the late 60’s and early 70’s era and her Californian upbringing. 

For a recent university project, Grace Wood and I worked together to create a promotional film for the clothing brand. The main inspirations for the film came from the whimsical, bohemian nature of the clothing. After researching heavily into the Gypset lifestyle, (a mix of the words gypsy and jetset) and the popular bohemian era of the late 60's and early 70's we then also decided to add a feel of transformation and travel to the film. This was done through the use of nature focused projections.

I hope you enjoy the film!

Emslie Creative Internship - Press Day for Winter Kate House of Harlow 1960

Last Thursday was my first day working for Emslie Creative. This was the press day for Nicole Richie's brands,Winter Kate and House of Harlow 1960, and also for the knitwear designer Madeleine Thompson.This was such an amazing opportunity for me; being my first placement in fashion PR and being able to have such a hands on experience with such reputable members of the press was great. It was my duty to welcome the members of the press and make them feel at ease. I also helped the press with any queries on the brands and gave them details on when they would be able to gain some samples.

It was great getting used to talking to people from the industry and networking with bloggers and magazine journalists. Over 60 people attended the press day in total, a great success.

Nicole Richie's designs are inspired by her travels through Northern Africa, such as the Souks of Marrakesh, Morocco and the Eyptian Sarcophagus. The feminine qualities to the garments are complimented with the amazing intricate woven detailing. You would not feel out of place roaming around the Sahara dessert wearing one of her beautiful pieces.
