SMC AND DISQUARED DRESS NELLY FURTADO
SMC worked with the red-hot fashion duo DSQUARED at the MTV European Music Awards, ensuring their dazzling diamond dress was placed on Nelly Furtado for her live performance and her follow up Red Carpet appearance.

She looked amazing, DSQUARED were delighted, and the press coverage was outstanding. As just one change of clothing won't do, we dressed Nelly again in DSQUARED for the many after parties she attended. She rocked the mic live with Timbaland, Pharell and P.Diddy at his event, and later again at Snoop Dogg's Interscope soiree....

A great evening, with fantastic international exposure!
