Ummmm, sure, as long as I am styled by yours truly, me, myself and I. Agreed. It'lll be fun afterall. Backstage is total model mayhem, beautiful ladies and gents fluttering around, dashing to-and-fro, being styled in preparation for the MTV shoot. MUA's (Make-up Artists) armed with MAC at the hand, stylists with their hair-dryers, crimpers and combs at the ready. The brief , models to be indie, rock chicks or eccentrics trends, retro, Ball gowns with punky hair, Goths, Crazy unique individuals and dark characters.
Let's see how the magic happens with the team involving Richard Austin Rees PR & Fashion Management for Cast & set Mangement
