Here are some rehearsal photos.

I had three outfits yesterday. First a leather/wool skirt from Dsquared, black top and leggings from Morticia and thigh high boots from Zara. Then I changed to the black long dress I wore in the Islander video and ended with a dress in cashmere/leather from Rick Owens and boots from Christian Louboutin. I only have photo of the first outfit but I am sure the internet soon has on the other two too.

My make-up and hair was done by Marja, who helps me when I need a better make-up and she has done it many times for me and she is amazing. Yesterday I wanted a bit of an ice queen make-up."
