Here are a few of the final images, along with a behind the scenes video. See the full collection on the Ellesse UK website o

It was first time working on the show - I had a fantastic time and saw some amazing creations by Robert Masciave and Anne Veck. For our model (Anna Tatton) we went for a dark futurstic theme and I did the styling as well as makeup. I used clothes from my own wardrobe by two of my favourite latex designers: Lacing Lilith Latex Couture (trousers) and Ooh La Latex (spiked bra). I put this
