Styling & Make up for Born Yesterday Video

Its Feb 28th 2010 and i am preparing for a long day ahead for Gil feat Ny's new music video ' Born Yesterday'.

ALERT, ALERT, ALERT- FASHION REALISTIC FIRST!!!!

Its 7am and i get a call from Ny asking if i am ready- She blatantly knew i went out the night before and most probably not had any sleep!!! I jumped in the bath and had mentally prepared my outfit, so I put on my white v-neck puff sleeve jumper with grey waistcoat, Grey Nike track pants and most would have put on trainers well me being the stylist that I am ... I put on my Grey, Yellow & Black heels......... Tracksuit bottoms & HEELS (U read it here first) 
Once dressed to perfection i drove to collect Ny, Fusnara , then made our way to collect Kiera Anderson the hair stylist. Car stuffed with suitcases & hair products, We drove to the set on Commercial Rd, East London. When we arrived the crew was setting up but they had breakfast ready and waiting for us which consisted of Bacon sarnies (Ny's a Veggie) Croissants,  Juice + Fruit!

Let the Magic begin

First things first set out all clothing provided my Apple Bottoms; Spin Agency for the Artist the Extra's in the video.

HAIR: Kiera began with the first hair look that myself; Ny had discussed for the overall look! This was all out but slicked to one side with slight curl at the end. This look was for her performance shot.

CLOTHING: I decided to put Ny in a sequin 1 shoulder embossed detailed dress, The style was sophisticated yet sexy to give Ny a mature sultry look. The dress fit her perfectly and revealed enough skin but kept it very classy. The hairstyle complimented the angles of the dress as it was not too much and did not detract from her performance. The accessories used were small earrings and black caged shoes to match the strap on the arm. A mental circular shape bangle was used to elongate her arms and body length, used to create illusion of height!

MAKE UP: First look was basic smokey eye, light blusher; glossy lips

NAILS: Clear color nails with Glitter base and diamantes on the index fingers only! (Perks of having a top nail technician as your friend Luv u Cat- Check out www.Glamourtraining.co.uk )

The shoot went underway and the director was happy with the Image of Ny and so was Gil the producer of the track.

Second Look

This scene was performed well and involved extras & a male model. Was set up on a circular track which rotated around the performance between Ny and her male model. The Extra's including myself- Yeah i got roped in also outlined the performance giving Ny the video concept support she required. (Her girls having her back)

My overall aim for the second look was to be more dark and mysterious, Visually more impacting to what the audience are used to expecting from Ny. I wanted to bring out her edgy image but still keep it sexy and suave.

HAIR:  For this look, Ny had a 1940's style quiff that cascaded into 2 cornrows to give a stylish 'Modern Twist to the quiff'. Kiera used holding spray and serum to complete the look- Ny looked completely transformed to her previous look.

CLOTHING: I put Ny in a A/W 2010 Exclusive Black Apple Bottom Leather Jacket with Gold detailing, X zip and Biker collar. Blue denim ripped crushed Apple Bottom jeans with Gold Studs in the x section stitching. Black and Gold closed toe heals with Gold Zip to ankle!  Black belt with Panther chain.

NAILS: Cat on hand, changed Ny's nails on set to a dark pearled Grey and left the diamonds on contrasting fingers.

MAKE UP: On her eyes i did Black feline shape flicks to cover the eyelid, with a silver underline to bring out the eyes. Creamy cheeks and nude matte lips with LIPSTICK- Lipstick is back ladies

Extras

The extra ladies had to get ready and then have a finale once over of approval by myself and Kiera to ensure Hair, Make up and clothing were on point.

The end product is going to be amazing- The director Kaz and his team were professional and i am sure Ny and Gil will be happy.

My favorite shot has to be the Opening shot all i am gonna say is that stance was ALOT! 

Thanks to Spin Agency for the Jessie May exclusive kicks - They are hot to death!

Look out for the Video Gil Feat Ny- Born Yesterday
