Backstage at Topshop Unique

Hannah Holman at Topshop Unique autumn/winter 2011.

Topshop Unique invited me backstage to bring you a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the making of the autumn/winter 2011 show during London Fashion Week. I got to speak to the lovely Karen Bonser, head of design for the Unique line, about her sources of inspiration for the new collection - think 101 Dalmatians, Bonnie and Clyde, and Broadway chorus dancers – her favourite pieces from the range and the celebrity she would like to see wearing them.

I also caught up with Topshop make-up artist, Hannah Murray, who talked us through the fun look all the models were getting backstage, and hair stylist, Paul Hanlon, about his vision for the hairstyles featured in the show. Hint: Disneyland.

Watch my video below to see all the backstage action. Enjoy!
