So as I keep boasting (and abusing as a lame excuse for my lack of posts…), I’ve been ushered off to London Fashion Week off-schedule shows for work, and being a member of the “press”, I get to be a rock star on the front row, which is utterly amazing, let me tell you. I think my favourite part of fashion week is the people watching – I can’t even begin to explain some of the weird and wonderful individuals marching about. You’d think I was joking if I described some of them…I’m talking blow up doll costumes and diamond encrusted scalps. I realise that this pretentious, shock factor dressing that people turn to is definitely one huge attention seeking arse lick to “fashion” due to one silly preconception that if you style yourself with enough exuberance, you’re “so in”. However, I jolly well enjoy watching them, so as long as they don’t block my view with their ridiculous hats or feathers, carry on. Let me show you what I mean:
Really?
Seriously, when would this ever seem like a good idea? How do you pee? How are you even talking to somebody??
Money to burn? Much?
So now that the idiocy is out of the way, let’s enjoy some of my top highlights from fashion week…
Charlie le Mindu
La Roux...she was rather grumpy...
David Koma - such incredible bodycon dresses.
Bernard Chandran
Belle Sauvage
Elliott J Frieze
Pam Hogg - def, def, def my favourite show
More Pam Hogg
...amazing. So folks, please leave the extreme "fashion week" outfits to the catwalks because with a bit of expensive production lighting and paparazzi, it works. But it's just one epic fail anywhere else. I don't really see blow-up doll guy popping down to the Spar for a packet of crisps...
