London Fashion Week : The Highlights

Wednesday, February 25, 2009

London Fashion Week was probably the most amazing five days of my life. Parties, Beautiful People, Celebrities and a wave of inspirational clothes...and while its "cool" to act non-chalant about fashion week, I can happily admit that I am still in awe of the fact that I got to experience all of it. It would be impossible to document all of it in one post, so for the next couple of days, keep checking back- as I will be showcasing every experience of every day.

The Highlights:

1. Lilly Cole and Erin O'Connor at the Qasimi Show.
It was beautifully produced, very tasteful- complemented by the elegant classical music that was playing throughout the show. However, I completely freaked out when I saw Lilly Cole saunter down the catwalk, she looked absolutely stunning. And yes, I proudly took this photo.

2. Glitter, Sequins and Bling Galore at ASHISH +
complemented by a VV Brown performance.
Ashish really took me my surprise, his clothes were completely whacky- like Marc Jacobs on speed- I loved it. Better yet, the wonderful VV Brown sang while the models walked- it was an exhilirating performance that left me on a fashion high for the rest of the day.

3. After-Parties in Mayfair.
Free VIP passes, Free £200 massive bottles of Vodka, and "Show Me Love" on repeat. What more could a girl want?

4. Having the girls at Amelia's Magazine recognize me from www.befrassy.com and then invite me to the William Tempest Show.

Here are two of them: Prudence and Jennifer- both wearing adorable ensembles.

And a preview of William Tempest: the audience was eye-candy in itself: full of famous people, however, more on Mr. Tempest in another post.

5. Official London Fashion Week Cupcakes from the Hummingbird Bakery.
I hate but also love that these exist- so pretty and tempting and def. the reason why I don't have model bones poking out everywhere.

6. Fashion-Liberation:
Being Able to Wear the most outrageous outfits and having them actually being appreciated rather than scorned.

(more outfits to come later)

7. All the free stuff you get when you have a special "press pass"; magazines, LFW tote bags...and the best part = The Daily- The LFW Newspaper.

More Tomorrow
