BRUCE OLDFIELD

Bruce Oldfield

He is a legend in my eyes. I am taking about Bruce Oldfield. This is the designer who has achieved a lot in his time and continuous to break new grounds in the couture- sphere.  Bruce up till now dresses some of the most influential women in the world. His creation makes everyone feel sexy, charmed  and exquisite.

Given three pieces from his couture collection to use for an editorial was something to write home about. Very fortunate enough, one had the best dependable team to carry out this editorial and make it a success.

The editorial which took place in the prestigious Edge Of Arabia Art gallery at Testbed 1 was smoothly executed. There is nothing better to describe the theme as the quintessential of a modern woman.

The editorial will be coming out soon.
