Whilst in the UK earlier this year I had the chance to catch up with NYC blogger buddy {and major babe} Nadia Aboulhosn & the team at Boohoo.com on set for Nadia’s 20 piece Spring plus size capsule photoshoot.
I have been DYING to share the looks and behind the scenes pics with you guys. Seriously.
The Nadia Aboulhosn for Boohoo capsule collection is set on a monochrome colour palette with pops of lilac and cobalt blue with key pieces such as the blazer dress, the logo jumpsuit and the cut out asymmetrical two-piece. The collection aims to embrace and celebrate women with body confidence.
Nadia commented ‘The collection is inspired by my personal style; minimal androgynous with a touch of glamour, it’s all about body confidence and feeling strong in what you wear.’
All the technical fashion jargon aside. The capsule is stylish, edgy and designed by a curvy woman for curvy women.
For me the stand out features are the edgy plunging necklines, sexy splits, shorter hemlines and more importantly the fit. Not a baggy moo moo in sight, because us curvy girls don’t need to hide our shape. This collection focuses on flaunting what you’ve got, accentuating body shapes with a sexy edge.
Like any professional shoot there’s a team of creatives behind the scenes making sure everything is perfect. {here’s some of the team playing with the selfie stick post shoot}
The studio in Manchester was filled with natural light and a whole lot of positive energy from all involved.
Photoshoot essentials, lots and lots of new season accessories and shoes. {plus garment steamers, irons and fans of course}
We all enjoyed checking out the shoot accessories. Even the golden pineapples but especially the sunglasses.
So I have this thing when I travel overseas where I like to take Aussie gifts. Everyone on set got a cute little clip on Koala to take home with them.
It’s fair to say the Boohoo office selfie stick got a work out that day. And I swear my mouth was WIDE open in every shot. Ha. Just like an excited puppy.
There was singing, dancing and plenty of laughter all round. An amazing day surrounded by an amazing team.
Thanks for having me Boohoo.
Now more importantly the range is available from the 23rd March 2015 online HERE
I’ve ordered from Boohoo many times and am yet to be disappointed with my purchase. {that’s probably why I post about their stuff so much} For Aussie delivery I’d generally allow 10 days for it to arrive. The slow postage is something the team are working on to speed up the process.
Happy Shopping!
