Makeover I - Menswear

First, hey hey dear follower! Just an update and first release on one of my homework assignments from my most exciting project so far.

I'm currently taking a professional styling course and, besides being reeeally excited about the whole thing, I simply LOVE my homework assignments. My homework (which is due tomorrow, Saturday, the 10th of April) was to do a makeover to one of my friends. Initially, I thought "None of my male friend need a makeover..." but then I realized I could use that in my advantage. Which led me to this idea... I chose a really cool friend with good measurements and headed out to one of my parents' friends showroom to choose some fresh, interesting clothes.

 Firstly, I thought about a friend called Francisco Berberan, who is actually a model (ok, he's 2cm away from being able to work in big fashion shows, but he's really cute, has a great sense of style and is really intelligent... what else can a girl ask for? besides, his soon-to-be girlfriend is stylish as hell, so I could ask her to assist me and give me a hand) and a DJ (http://www.myspace.com/soundshapemusic) but he was really busy working and wasn't able to come (yeah, he's a working boy too... life's hard these days, and, if you want to be stylish, you gotta have money to spend). 

Therefore, I talked to one of my greatest friends António Carvalho e Castro (one of the authors of this blog, as well), to be by model. António, alongside my best friend (keep reading and you'll find out who he is) are two of the most stylish young men I've met. And not only do they always look good, but they also know a LOT about EVERYTHING and ANYTHING. It's unbelievable, really. They're smart, intelligent and fashion-wise (does that word exist?). I also asked my best friend, Zé Maria Salgado (the third author of this blog), to be my photographer. As I said, he's really cool and takes really nice photos.
