FAVOURITE TWO-TIME UNKNOWNS : LFW (IV).

Biggest regret of LFW: not getting their details down. Can anybody help me identify them?

Absolutely enchanted by the two distinct styles; one being a look similar to my own which I would wear day to day, and the other being how I would dress ensured that I was gutsy enough- you're welcome to guess which photograph pairs with which description.

Sifting through photographs from LFW and missing the flurry of madness and excitement that the week bought to London- nothing ever compares. The countdown to the next LFW will begin, but for now, we are left with the beautiful remnants of Christopher Kane and Peter Pilotto to cherish and the excitement of MFW and PFW!

LFW OUTFITS.

LFW: PASTEL PERFECTION.

Fell in love with the hair and dress compilation. Something rather Erin O'Connor-esque about her...

TUES LFW STREET STYLE: HELEN VU.

 

Another trip to Somerset House today bound me a lovely encounter with Helen Vu- a recognised face from the street fashion blog 'FASHITECTS'. I am green with envy of her beautiful Jeffrey Campbell Lita heels, which have been a staple 'must-save-up-for' on my wish list for the last few seasons. The tangerine blazer and the glitzy statement shoes caught my eye from far away, and I loved the minimalistic quality of her outfit!

Stop by her blog here.

SUN LFW: ROSALIND JANA (III).

One of my highlights from Sunday, meeting and taking Roz of Clothes, Cameras and Coffee's photograph! The name ring a bell? Roz was this year's UK Vogue talent contest winner, and after reading one of her submissions, rightly so. She is just as (if not more) beautiful in person and her articulateness is more than justified too. Her outfit as always was elegant yet brilliant.

LENNON LENSES AT SUN LFW (II).

Round rim glasses- a personal favourite and a popular option on Sunday at LFW.

SUN STREET STYLE AT LFW I.

Sifting through photographs from LFW Somerset house. Sighting Erin O'Connor, Hamish Bowles, Hayley Atwell, Susie Bubble, Rosalind Jana to name a few. Expect many more photographs from today.

Indulging myself by flicking through LFW's collections so far would be the ideal cure for a draining weekend, alas, as always school work is in the way!

Til next time.

THE WAIT IS OVER

And in a week's time we will be embraced with some of the world's most statured characters in the fashion industry as next season's "must-haves and faux pas's" are revealed: London Fashion Week. There is something undeniably unique when it's London's turn- the quintessentially British way in which the entire nation get's involved, whether it be blogging, street-style or for those who are lucky, doing the task of sitting front row at a show. September's fashion season is one that I look forward to every year and my high hopes are always raised by the never-ending ideas which designers seem to have and their collections - however weird and wacky. 

I am more than excited (to put it lightly) to go to LFW (Somerset House) again this year, the street-style shots and interviews on Elle TV in light of the build-up to next week has been enough to start off the buzz of fashion week. I look forward the most to Monday's shows: Burberry Prorsum, Erdem and Christopher Kane, must I say anymore? I am also intrigued to see the outcome of collections from the houses of Louise Gray and David Koma. One of my highlights of fashion week is rushing onto Style.com to flick through the show reports and photographs from each day only to discover collections that you can't get enough of from designers that you'd never heard of before. My most prominent experience of this, that I can recall, would be discovering Charles Anastase's collection and falling for the subtly gothic shapes immediately.

Of course we all wait eagerly tonight for news from New York- with the state-side's fashion week beginning today. One thing's for sure, although I admit I prefer Milan/Paris/London Fashion week, NYFW never fails to suprise.

I thought i'd take a step back from this essay, ten steps back to fashion ten years ago. It's interesting to make comparison's to fashion from a decade away and to see how far fashion has come (as well as feeling completely chuffed with yourself when you spot a style that was revived in more recent collections).
