Celebrity Encounters at the HUGO F/W 2011 Fashion Show

Chloë Sevigny and I at the HUGO after-party

After the HUGO by HUGO BOSS Fall/Winter 2011 Fashion Show in Berlin I had the privilege of meeting the celebrities that attended which included Chloë Sevigny, Tilda Swinton and Hayden Christensen. I'm a huge fan of their work so it was really a dream come true to meet each of them after the show!

HUGO by HUGO BOSS F/W 2011 Fashion Show

The HUGO Fall/Winter 2011 Fashion Show took place on Thursday January 21, 2011. As a HUGO reporter I had the honour of reporting live from this coveted fashion show during Berlin Fashion Week. The new Fall/Winter HUGO collection was breathtaking to say the least. Each of the looks was so thought out and the array of colours which included red, black, grey and white were just exquisite. I also loved the beautiful mixes of material such as black leather, wool, cotton and silks. The collection which was created by HUGO's creative director Eyan Allen was true to the brand’s classic look with just the right amount of edginess. I did manage to take a few pictures but sadly they don't do the collection any justice so please check out a video of the full collection by HUGO BOSS TV at the end of this post.

Backstage Exclusive: HUGO by HUGO BOSS F/W 2011 Fashion Show

Models getting their make up done

As a HUGO BOSS reporter I had the privilege of seeing the backstage area for the Fall/Winter 2011 HUGO Fashion Show in Berlin. The scene backstage was fun and exciting as models were getting their makeup done and practicing their final walks for the big show. Check out the exclusive pictures I managed to snap in between my reporting duties.

Camera crews were filming the backstage experience

Really love the model's shirt during the practice walk. I wonder where she got it?

Weird angle but check out the male model sporting a leather jacket. This was my fashion trend prediction for spring 2011. I guess he decided to sport the trend a bit earlier! 

More practice walks. Notice all the seating names on the seats!

My Sightseeing Tour Through Berlin!

Berlin was such a beautiful city to visit during Berlin Fashion Week. You could feel the spirit and celebration of Fashion Week as you walked through the shopping area of the city. From the cobble stone streets to the exquisite architecture of the buildings it was all a breathtaking experience for me and the perfect place to take lots of pictures! For my sigh-seeing tour through Berlin I wore a faux fur coat, knee-high boots and my favourite tinted sunglasses.

Beautiful day in Berlin

Making My Dreams Come True in Berlin!

   It's been a week and a day since my first day in Berlin for Fashion Week. I'm so excited to finally share with you all my incredible experience of visiting Berlin and having my dream come true of being 1 of 5 reporters that got a chance to report live from the HUGO fashion show.

The whole trip was nothing short of a dream come true for me and one of the best experiences of my fashion career so far. From meeting the amazing HUGO BOSS team, fellow reporters, sight-seeing and having the opportunity to witness and report from the spectacular HUGO fashion show during Berlin Fashion Week.

I was proud to be the only reporter from the US and thrilled to meet the other 4 reporters from Canada, Netherlands, Singapore and Berlin. Each of them were so lovely and fashionable.

Thanks again to everyone at HUGO BOSS for giving me this amazing opportunity!

Stay tuned to upcoming posts on my Fashion Week adventures in Berlin which will include: my wardrobe selections, sight-seeing, HUGO fashion show, celebrities, parties and much more!
