The Day the FAB MAG came

THE DAY THE FAB MAG CAME...

Here is a little tale (a very little tale) about... the day the very FAB MAG aka Fabulous Magazine (actual name, no silly voice necessary) YES the UK no 1 selling fashion supplement came to us at The Little Vintage Beauty Parlour as a set for their Mothers Day fashion photo shoot!

Rewind 3 months and it's a Wednesday evening, i'm sitting with Mo (my crazy, lovely, mad bat Nana) eating cheese straws, flicking through emails and generally putting the world to rights when my eye stumbled across an introductory email asking if The Little Vintage Beauty Parlour's, authentic, mid-century room set was available to hire - Ohhhhhhhhhh!

Our 1950s and 1960s room set is really popular with photographers but this was a TOP SECRET PROJECT

So the date was agreed, the price was set and the deal sealed. On the day of the shoot the FAB MAG van arrived - not too inconspicuous

 Mark, the cheery delivery man set to work unloading cases, boxes, props, equipment and clothes for the shoot. Where would all the equipment go?

Rails of clothes were set up ready for the styling team, this was a SS2015 collection shoot for Matalan and Peacocks - EXCITING

The four page spread was realised for the Mothers Day Special Fashion spread in March 2015. VOILA - we think the results were FAB (no pun intended).
