Top 10 Hannah Elizabeth Facebook Posts!


Hannah Elizabeth's Facebook Page has a growing audience, starting out small and then developing a great following! Here are our top 10 engaged Facebook posts for something a little different! :D


#10


To kick this top 10 list off, this gorgeous Ivory Helena dress caught some attention. It had over 40 photo views but the best part of this photo was that a customer asked for the same one to be made in her size! Definitely one of my favourite designs!


#9

Hannah Elizabeth Wants You! This summer intern advert for a local helper was really well received. I had previously just posted statuses advertising it but as soon as I created this photo for it, it actually got noticed! Its reach is over 740 and still going up, it had 6 shares which definitely helped in reaching more viewers.


#7


This was the first photo posted as a 'sneak-peak' of the S/S 13 photoshoot, this single photo had 67 photo views in one evening, which for a small facebook page, was pretty decent. 


#6


These beauties are at number 6, somehow got 64 views, sharing this photo on a bright sunny day and promoting that its definitely shorts weather got surprisingly some good feedback. Getting 4 likes and then I also shared this onto my personal Facebook page and got a further 3 likes.

One of our lovely customers! We posted up this picture of her when she tried her dress on and everyone loved it! It had 60 unique engaged users with 52 photo views and 15 'likes'. It's so lovely to see our customers in their garments :D

Our Spring/Summer 13 Lookbook is at number 4, had some great people to work with on this photoshoot which was great to tag everyone in and spread the reach on the lookbook. The 9-Photo album has had 460+ views and reached 307 people.


#3


Haha! This was a good laugh! Grace (on the left) was doing her modelling and I (on the right) just jumped in! Turned out a great photo (but don't I look so short!!) with a 101 photo views a few 'Likes', it really cheered up both mine and others' day!


#2


This video was the preview of the S/S 13 photoshoot, It reached over 750 people with 100+ video watches. Really shows that videos can go much more viral than anything else on Facebook. Even though I did this video myself and was very amateurish! It still did all right on our page :D

#1


Our 'Behind-the-Scenes' post had over 460 photo views. We had many different photos in this album from daft photo bombs, make-up and to the set. This album of pictures were the off-spring of our S/S 13 photoshoot.

Editorials We Love

As a fashion designer myself, I'm always looking for inspiration from design ideas to new marketing ways. A really important part to me is how the garments are conveyed across to the customers, like what is the voice of the brand, who are you aiming at, how do you want the customers to feel and much more, all of this has to be said in just one picture. It takes a team of people to create just that one picture, the Model being the main conveyor and closely worked side-by-side with the photographer. But then there is also make-up artists, hair stylists, clothing stylists, graphic designers and many more. 

However, when a brand doesn't have the budget to have such a large team, it becomes a much more daunting task. I am a one-woman-band, running my fashion business alone so I have to think of all aspects of having a photoshoot done and, more often than not, needing to do all the tasks myself. Here are some gorgeous photoshoots that are currently inspiring me.


LJT by Les Jupons de Tess Lingerie 2013






This photoshoot is just stunning, the setting looks to be an old mansion but it has plenty of light. The model is beautiful and I love her freckles. The theme of the photoshoot was to be soft yet a little sexy with underlining fetishes with the odd peak of chains woven in. There is definitely an innocence portrayed in the photos but looking deeper, you see some slight twists and hints of a less innocent meaning.

Pink Winter Light by Monique Vogelaar




Working with one model must be hard enough, but to then work with two must be harder! However they did a lovely job, the styling of the girls really works well with the shots, having plenty of different textures from the fringed coats to the furry and knitted scarves and obviously the hair looks like candy floss. The backdrop works nice, an ice-y wall, giving a real wintery feel in the shot.

The Secret Garden by Jessica Prautzsch





This looks so elegantly simple, a secret garden as the backdrop, floral clothing, flower hair garlands and a beautiful model. Simple as. This can hit at any aged customer, could be the young 20-something or the matured 60+. The clothing is feminine, sweet, soft and those flower garlands are so cute!

Thurley S/S '12 Campaign




Another really simple yet effective shoot. A breezy beach, a tall model and some pretty clothing. The model comes across very relaxed, not pose-y. The clothing is quite modern with plenty of skin on show, clean silhouettes with textures. Love the hair in this, an updo always makes things look classy and the slight breeze makes it look textured.
