A Fashionable Fairytale

It's always a relief when the issues fashion shoot is done and dusted. It's such a fun day but also a big day and takes the effort of our whole team to get it finished. We're lucky to work with some truly talented people such as our friend and photographer, Claude Raschella, our hair and makeup guru Christopher Geracitano and of course the model. By the time the last shot is all done we're relieved, exhausted but excited. Looking back we've had the opportunity to feature some simply beautiful gowns by some simply amazing designers within the pages of Style Guide. I'm always asked which ones are my favourite but it's so hard to choose. Here are a handful of my favourite gowns from the last six issues. Don't ask me to make a final pick. It's impossible!
