Afternoon, folks! So the first day of London Fashion Week is in full swing, as if my aching feet don’t know it. Here’s what I’m wearing today – a Sixties shift dress from ASOS, nude opaques, cork platforms from Office and my trusty Barbour jacket. Oh, and I’m also showing off my new Daisy Jewellery Chakra bracelet for the first time – apparently it’ll let creativity flow through me. And, of course, I’ve got a spare pair of flats in my bag (London’s cobbles are nothing if not tiresome and treacherous). Popped backstage at Maria Grachvogel this morning before watching her amazing salon show (more on that later) and have just been backstage at Sass & Bide to film some hair and makeup vids. Must dash, Felder Felder’s next, followed by Bora Aksu and PPQ later. Stay tuned for the first round of reviews… Follow us on Twitter for on-the-go updates.

Read MoreLondon Fashion Week: PPQ AW09
You can always rely on PPQ to bring colour to Fashion Week. Their Autumn/Winter 09 palette is full of pistachios, oranges, royal blue and very bright reds. I think the best way to describe the collection is Park Lane Princess meets 60s style. The PPQ show is always a star-studded event and sure enough Alexa and Peaches were there, with Daisy, Alice and Pixie strutting their stuff down the runway. But the show ran so late, caused such bedlam that journalists were left really rather displeased. The show ran in Burlington Arcade, where PPQ currently has a pop up shop. This was one of the main criticisms of the presentation, there was no space. Looking at the models, it was surprising they didn’t trip over all those feet and handbags.
