Even standing in the queue for this show was an event; it was a who’s who of celebsville, from Pamela Anderson to Mischa Barton to Kate Moss to Erin O’Connor and Dita Von Teese, yes they were all there en masse. Oh, and I must add that Dita really is flawless. So, on with the clothes and the curiously long catwalk (the models must have been exhausted). To say I...

We’ve lost all sense of feeling in our feet, our concealer is nearly finished from trying to hide the persistent bags under our eyes and we think we’ll have a fit if we see yet another ruffle. But yet we’re SO sad guys…. If you’ve missed some of our LFW coverage, worry not. The beauty of the internet is that’s its always here for you to catch up on. See...

The show started with a rainstorm, ok it was lighting and but this was to set the theme of the quirky weather girl. The collection was certainly quirky but entirely wearable. A truly consumer friendly collection, every piece could be worn time and time again. With an 80s feel, jersey mini dresses and graphic prints looked surprisingly fresh and interesting. Jumpsuits...

Natascha Stolle Spring Summer 2009 Fashion East is a project that supports promoting new (or newish) designers. It originally started in The Old Truman Brewery in 1997; the brewery hosted a few shows and later became committed to helping recent graduates step up the design ladder. But the crowd gathered outside Quaglino’s (where this years winners were showcasing)...

Standing patiently in a cloyingly warm Science Museum, I awaited the much anticipated Basso and Brooke S/S 09 show. As previous winners of the inaugural Fashion Fringe award, the industry’s keen eye has been closely trained on this pair whose pioneering use of digital printing in their designs has got them considerable recognition across the fashion globe. And...

Alexander Koutny Spring Summer 2009 With a celebrity riddled front row, Girl’s Aloud’s Nicola, Peaches Geldoff, Jodie Kidd, Jasmine Guinness, to name just a few, I settled down quite comfortably and eagerly awaited the show. The show was split into three sections for each of the three designers who were chosen by a panel as ones to watch to show their capsule...

The eighteenth century dwelling on 33 Portland Place was the ideal setting for a slightly risqué display of non-saintly fashion. With hints of bondage, deadly stunning stilettos and rather big knickers, this for me was Tuesdays highlight. Panelled bodices and perfectly fitting mini dresses were order of the evening, lace was added in small quantities giving the designs...

It isn’t exactly a secret that Scotland and the rest of the UK, namely England, aren’t best buddies. I’ve never quite understood it myself but it is apparently a given that those north of the border are somewhat disparaging of their southern counterparts. In fact, when I just asked my Scottish born friend for a typical Scottish view of Englishmen, his...

Glamour seemed to be on the agenda on day three of London Fashion Week. Afshin Feiz pioneered grown up girliness in his Spring/Summer 09 collection. Gorgeous pastels set against dove greys was the Feiz colour palette. Gowns and jumpsuits of varying lengths glided down the runway. In draped chiffon Feiz made a feature of the female body with cutaway sections, which...

Eley Kishimoto showcased in the large BFC tent: on possibly one of the dreariest days of the year the collection was a lovely window into next years sunnier seasons. The show was dominated by a schoolgirl kitsch, big floaty dresses that kept the lines very simple with hardly a ruffle to be seen. Puff sleeves were probably the most endearing feature, I honestly haven’t...
