This year, Vogue Festival fall on 29 - 30 March at Southbank Centre, London. By partner with Harrods, once again they pulled out a great celebration. I am very excited to get the ticket for 'The King of Glamour: Valentino". It will be amazing to meet Mr. Garavani and hear the story of himself and his brand.

If you ever live in London, you will know it is very hard to get a clear blue sky like the photo shown above. I supposed, the sky also feel 'Vogue'. Amazing day, amazing venue, amazing event.
Me.
There is so much to do at the Vogue Festival. You can walk the Harrods live catwalk, have your one and only Vogue cover shoot, get make-up by Burberry and Chanel team, have your hair done, etc. There is also a Vogue shop which sells a lot merchandise which only for the festival.
When you do your Vogue cover shoot, you will have the chance
to accessorise yourself with the Chanel accessories, including my
personal favourite, the Coco doll. Photo by Vogue.uk

Of cause I will do the cover shoot as well, the Chanel make up team helped me to touch up my skin for perfect photo, I felt quite awkward to do the make up but they done a really good job. And here is my photo when I doing the Vogue cover shoot. I'm too shy to show the cover, a backstage photo is enough.
And yes, I shoot the cover with the Coco doll! I'm so much in love with that doll. After all the fun and nonsense, it's time for Mr. Garavani's talk. Mr. Valentino Garavani is a wise man, a true wise man. He is unexpectedly friendly and down to earth. He told his audience about how he started his career and how he overcame those obstacles. He also a gentleman, he kissed Alexandra Shulman's hand upon his arrival also kissed once again when he leave. I can tell he very much in love with London as he keep mentioned London is the capital of the world!

Valentino's talk rounded up day one of the Vogue Festival. I truly understand how a giant stand tall. You and your skill are not the only thing that keep you success but also your personality and your attitude. Be a gentleman, be wise, be humble, those are the things I learnt on Mr. Valentino Garavani.
Lastly, this is the advise that given by Mr. Garavani to all of the audience.
'My advice to you all would be to believe, to appreciate what life gives you and try to be optimistic and just to be happy.'
