Style Speaks Louder

London Fashion Week is my favourite of all the fashion week's, partly because I happen to live here, but also because I think the designers that show at London Fashion Week are some of the most creative minds in fashion.

There just seems to be an electric buzz in London during fashion week and the venues that host the catwalk shows are range from luxurious old listed buildings to the underground station at Kings Cross!

It was hard to narrow down my favourite looks for the London Fashion Week Round Up but here they are;

What caught your eye during London Fashion Week?

This season I am helping uber cool Relative PR with the SS10 London shows. It is super hard work, being up from 6am and not getting home until past 8pm but the perks make up for all the sore feet (we have to wear heels) and early starts.

I have so far worked at Mary Katrantzou and Mark Fast. Admired the squiggle printed dresses and ice cream style hair (see backstage pic above). Fell in love with black leather and contemplated how to work a pointy bra into my look next season at Hannah Marshall and considered a glittery body con body suit - also with pointy Madonna style bra at Louise Goldin.

The most dramatic show had to be Julien MacDonald with imported grass and gravel and a fully working water fountain all as part of the set, with a cloud of Diptyque room fragrance hovering above. The clothes were so glamorous and chic and I loved the clean palette he kept to of black, red, beige,and white.
However the most exciting show would have to be Issa, for the sole fact I got to watch Naomi Campbell walk the catwalk. Three times!!!
I also managed to pick up the cute swan printed canvas goodie bag at Charles Anatase and the Crocodile printed goodie bag at Christopher Kane.

Some people have said that working backstage takes away the fantasy and beauty of fashion week - but I think that Fashion Week is just as magical backstage as it is watching it from the rows.
