DIANE, A SHADED VIEW ON FASHION

WOWZAAAA! Yesterday i received the most exciting message ever from my good friend Emma. After a discussion about furthering our careers, launching labels and earning some dollaz i suggested that Emma should email Diane Pernet (Diane, A Shaded View On Fashion) some of her films she has been working on and see what she thought. Not in a zillion years did either of us think she would respond as fast as she did. She sent Emma the nicest email EVER! She was so positive about all the films and absolutely LOVED my fashion film and just had to post it online!!!!!

THIS IS HUGEEEEE. To say i was excitable when Emma called me would be an understatement. I was literally swinging from the ceiling when i found out! The fact that she picked this film means sooo much to me. The film was the first collaboration project between Emma and I with me directing, styling and filming (well having the camera on a tripod)and Emma acting super multi talented by modelling in the film and doing the edit!! Diane has now asked Emma to join her in Paris for the film festival! Who knows maybe she will ask to show the film there?
