One groggy morning I received an email. H&M was asking to create a video following me preparing for the Versace for H&M Fashion Show. My jaw hit the floor and I think I hit Michael’s arm ooooh about 50 times?
Fast forward to this week. The crew were with me all day this Tuesday while I got ready. The video is now up on the H&M website here and will permanently reside on H&M’s you tube channel.
A very special thank you to Anna, Lina, Tobias and Samara. To work with a brand that I wear all the time is an honour.

Love watching you get ready for the event. You look totally marvelous! What a wonderful opportunity for you. H&M made the right choice most importantly since you do wear a lot of H&M.
Great job!
