REFRESHERS for our FRESHERS!

We are proud to, unofficially announce (secretly from NUS), that we will be around at our local freshers fair to support our students in Portsmouth and Southsea. As we all know they have had a hard year this year with lack of places and loans beign late as always. So as they trot, like we once did (from our roots), we are going to spoil them with sweets! While reminding them also to register with local dentist.

We hope you all enjoy and we will surely get few photos of the young ones to cherish their innocent times before they get unleashed to the dark depths of Portsmouth night life!!!

Peas and love Nikki B

We at Urban Spark are going to be showcasing our 'jules collection'on the catwalk at a local fashion event to us in Southsea. The event is going to be held on the 8th of October at Portsmouth university, Eldon Building. We shall also be having a stall where you can purchase our jules.

Oooo la London fashion week ! S/S 2010

For the past four seasons I've been lucky enough to check out all the action from behind the scenes at LFW, working backstage. It's always pretty wild with broken shoes, smudged makeup, lost shorts, blood on clothing (stupid women) etc etc. Here's some snaps I managed to get at various shows from S/S 10, including Basso and Brooke, Henry Holland, Richard Nicolls, Louise Goldin and Redbull fashion factory. As luck would have it, my camera decided to be a pain the asssss and go all blurry on me. I personally think it makes it all look a little dreamy.

At the Richard Nicolls show I was able to get a cheeky picture of a beautiful Chinese model I was dressing, wearing a bit of Spark jewellery. Think she works the lamina well!

Red bull factory show -graduate show

The Gradute show held by The Redbull fashion factory I thought was the most impressive as with these designers, there are no restrictions, always ambitious. The scale of the dresses blew me away! The models were so elegant and walked beautifully and with grace, it was amazing..especially with the size of heel they were subjected to.
