It's nice to have the freedom and creativity to make whatever you want, I usually base the design on a pattern I already have (and believe me, I have a lot) or on something I've seen in the high street which I want slightly different.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I really recommend anyone to do this course who is interested in fashion design as it takes you through all the basics of adapting a simple pattern block for everything.</div> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

A zip simply has a extra 4cm on the front of the CF, Pockets are separate pattern pieces altogether, as are collars. Instead you have to make a facing for the garment.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The Centre Front pleat was more difficult than usual because the fabric was patterned and when the pleat was closed I wanted to the pattern to carry on as normal.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

My parent's vast collections of old-fashioned patterns are always too big for me, despite a size 14/12 was much smaller than it is today. Still I usually have to take about 1cm out of the centre front and centre back, as well as shortening the shoulder line and lifting the dress.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

The fact that the Yojhi Yamamoto's actual Paris team was flying into London to make sure the show ran smoothly, which I admit made me quite nervous, was not the only reason this fashion show was different from previous shows I had dressed at. The fashion show, to mirror the Japanese designers 1999 collection, would be modelled by real-life couples. Previously couples were gathered off the streets of Paris, so the V&A made a search in London, in which most of the models picked ironically were French. Fate determining fashion, or is it that the French has a certain chic air which the English are unable to mirror?</span></span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"></span></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-outline-level: 3;"></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>Models are used to getting undressed in front of 30+ people they barely even know, it becomes part of their norm, their job. Whereas everyone in the industry knows, and are used to seeing half-naked women and men around them and think nothing of it apart from it being their job, that real people can feel uncomfortable so you have to be "extra sensitive" i.e not ripping their clothes off if they only have 2 minutes to change. It's kind of funny that fashion shows are all about the clothes, yet for about half the time the clothes are not worn.<br />
<br />
Yohji Yamamoto claims he creates 80% of the clothes, but the other 20% is solely shaped by the person wearing it, hence the reason why this show does not use the one concept percieved beauty in the fashion world which produces models of same heights, weights and looks. The attitude, undoubtedly, changes the style and the message that a person puts across. For example the photo above, her fresh-faced expression gives a certain elegance to a bright yellow, plastic blow-up skirt. It raises a question of do clothes transform the way we are or do we transform clothes?<br />
<br />
Okay, for instance take the numerous you I hear that Anne Hathaway is a "Style Star", yet all she does is put on an amazing haute couture gown pair it with simple diamond earrings, a slicked back bun and red lips, <em>Old Hollywood style</em>, and not even she can do that - it's her stylist Rachel Zoe! It's a formulae which will always result in a classic glamour, yet sometimes on the red carpet there's one person who steals the show, this is not solely down to the dress but also to the way they <em>own</em> that dress. That's what makes a good stylist a good stylist, making some-one feel fantastic in what they are wearing so they ooze confidence, the right attitude which creates a certain glow.<br />

</tbody></table><div nodeindex="7" sizcache="172">I think all the models, by the fourth show, had got used to it as it pretty much becomes a routine and the changes are so fast their in and out of their clothes in minutes. A Royal College of Art MA graduate, Sarah, dressed the two French street-casted models. There were four catwalks throughout the day, with a prompt 10 o'clock start in which about 16 dressers carried the steamed 21 looks through the musuem to backstage. The looks had to be un-bagged and organised onto 8 rails infront of each model board displaying each look. I personally was assisting Marie, who had been a dresser at London Fashion Weekend with me but had the responsibility of backstage, where I sorted out each look with the appropriate accessories through the model board taken at the dress fitting previously. The models had a walk through and afterwards it was almost time for the 1st show at 1pm. <br />
<br />
Throughout the catwalk shows we had to make sure all our models garments were steamed with no creases so that they were ready for the next show. <br />
<br />
It must seem terrible to talk about food, but if you've been to the V&A, you'll know how nice the food is. The whole team had sandwiches for lunch, and salmon with couscous and salad for dinner. Again, it was an valuable experience and I'd like to say thankyou to the V&A and the PR team and I recommend anyone to volunteer to dress, especially when you are able to see such a dynamic fashion house up close.<br />

<strong>The Yohji Yamamoto exhibition</strong><br />
<br />
In all honesty the exhibition could've been better laid out, as there was no sense of direction for a visitor as the clothes were all over the space (as pictured below). As well as the fact you could see the whole exhibition at a glance made it very hard to enjoy looking at one item because you wanted to see everything at once!<br />
However there is no denying the clothes were captivating and magnificant in their design and cut, the way Yohji Yamamoto explores the 3rd dimension through pattern cutting makes this exhibition definitely worth visiting.<br />

They always seem a bit boring. But I've not had an average week, and many aspects of these photos correspond with that so hopefully this is a little more worthwhile... Last night was the performance of Jim Cartwright's 'The Rise and Fall of Little Voice' that a small cast of Inspire Academy over 16's have been working on for months. It's been the main occupant of my mind for ages, and as I was double cast as Mari, it was my night last night. Emotional evening to say the least, going to miss everyone and everything about it so much. We set it in the 1960's which was so fun, there were many trips to charity shops for set and costume shopping, and we had a record player on stage so that LV could sing along to the original records... I could go on about how much I loved this play forever. Felt strange to put on such a plain outfit this morning after and evening of lacquered hair and shift dresses. Despite the excitement and the wonderful audience I was a little sad that all of my girls were elsewhere - Evie in London, the rest in Zante, and a few family members unable to make it. My boy is also galavanting around Europe for a month with a ridiculously heavy rucksack (sure he's going to return looking a bit like Quasimodo), but gave me this 1970's radio before he left. Since, I've found a new appreciation for classical music, and am currently enjoying 70's Saturday on Gold. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I suppose I should tell you about my clothes. I've been eyeing up these sandals for ages. They're Swedish Hasbeens for H&M and they're perfection to me, for reasons of maximum foot coverage (not a fan of feet, who is?), good Jesus:Fashion ratio, and the fact that they didn't break the bank - half price in fact. I'm only wearing one because I ran over my foot today with a rail at work, blood everywhere. Moving up: shorts. I never wear shorts. Nottingham is infested with girls in tiny high waisted denim shorts with their tanned stick legs allowing plenty of air space between their thighs and the material, and then there's me, going into the vintage shops, coming out in a sulk cause they don't have any I can get up past my knees. These are from Whistles, huge around the waist, but that only helped me stuff in this dress to wear it as a top. Basically, I liked them because they're the first pair I've tried that didn't make me feel like a beached whale. So here's me in the garden with my only friend left in the country, my dog. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">H x</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

Now, a year out of Nottingham Trent University, they have started their own label together: Still Small Voice. They recently asked me to wear their designs for the look-book, and of course I jumped at the opportunity to get in to some lovely dresses. As you can see, they really are the sweetest! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Digitally printed on silk, each features a quirky illustrative pattern inspired by the animals displayed at Wollaton Hall. I'm not a big fan of oversized things usually, but adored both the styles of dress Harriet and Laura have opted for - they're both really wearable shapes and very adaptable to any occasion. Looking through the photos now I'm trying to pick a favourite but I actually can't... basically this is a very covetable collection, thoughtfully constructed in a colour palette that seems to flatter even my pasty complexion! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">These photos are just a handful of a morning's shoot, with photographer and student Jono Renton. They'll be edited and compiled for the look-book that's being sent off to potential stockists of the collection, which is really exciting, hoping to see these designs in London Boutiques before long - this also means my face is being sent around London which is a bit scary! We had a really relaxed morning, with minimal hair and make-up and several visits from Jono's curious cat, we were all done and off to the pub for a well deserved burger in no time. </span><br />

With it being an increasingly reputable University for Arts courses, I was really interested in what the students had to offer, but I left with really mixed feelings. There were the designs that grabbed me immediately, for being beautiful, fresh, innovative and flattering, and there were designers whose shock factor got a bit samey after a while.<br />
<div>I feel like this post could be a bit, 'Emperor's New Clothes'. I could sit and say everything was wonderful and so much was different, like many are quick to do in order to please and conform. However I'm going to be completely honest: I'm someone who appreciates timelessness, craftsmanship, originality, and strong, sustainable design. Call me an unimaginative prude, but I really cannot see the point in designing a jumpsuit where your arm is stuck in a sleeve which is attached to your rear, it just doesn't <i>look</i> good! The pattern cutting was very clever no doubt, but how I wished that skill had been used to make a design which made the model look amazing! Maybe that's not what the designer was going for. I realise some will read this and argue that Fashion is Art, but Art is a very objective thing, this is just me being honest about how I walked away feeling. Basically, I was really surprised by the amount of students who were creating designs that were so unadaptable to real life rather than the runway. </div><div>Okay so with that little rant over I shall now talk about some of the designers that made me want to run backstage, throw their collections over my shoulders, give them a kiss for being so clever and run away knowing I had some serious talent in my arms, even though I would certainly not be fitting in to the tiny model sizes. I got so excited each time something emerged that I could envisage on someone other than the model adorning it, for we're not all 6 ft and flawless. I just felt really proud of these designers. Although I knew nothing about them other than the name I had in front of me on the list, and only had about 5 outfits to judge them by, there were a few which immediately stood out as 'ones to watch'. I really want to take another look at several of these students' work because a few seconds on the runway didn't satisfy my appetite, so I will be trying to do so before focusing on their work in more detail. Until then, here's some photos. I'll post collections that provoked the mixture of responses from me, so you can make up your own mind. (Click on images to see them full size.)<br />

Oh and the song is Jai Paul BTSU incase you were wondering. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">H x</span>Evie Hainsworth and Harriet Gibsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00401179076421601819noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3332040270692136670.post-48098267474488318712011-05-12T16:33:00.000+01:002011-05-13T21:46:20.582+01:00We love LomogueNothing beats skipping out of the developers with a fresh pack of photographs; eagerly snapped and awaited, now mysterious and unpredictable in their sealed paper packet, moments away from their grand reveal. You just don't get that with digital cameras do you? Don't get me wrong, I adore the quality and versatility I get from my Nikon, but my Lomography Holga is never in its shadow.<br />
On Monday I had a really cool time in front of the lens. Three Fashion Promotion and Communication students at Nottingham Trent: Kay, Anna, and Hannah, have started working on a zine called Lomogue. The first shoot took place in the gorgeous grounds of the University, and in the sunny Arboretum. Armed with an Action Sampler, a Diana, giant illustrations and a silver 1 shaped balloon, we got through many rolls of film! This is all in preparation for May 28th, where their publication will be sold amongst many others at Nottingham Zine Fair. Exciting stuff, here's a sneak peak...<br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Our eyes were glued to the computer screen when we saw this gritty photo-shoot published on humble Facebook, only knowing Miriam as the red-haired fresh-faced aspiring model in the year below us at college. At just 16, she's been infront of several other photographer's lenses, but this is definitely our favourite portrayal of Miriam. Beautiful ain't she? We requested to publish the photos for you all to 'ooh' and 'aah' at as well, and asked Jessica to tell us a bit more about the shoot...</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><i>The concept behind the images was to mix a trashy lifestyle (The burger, cola, grubby eating etc) with the glamourous lifestyle of a model to give a nice contrast. So to add to this I got Miriam to basically act as if she was completely off her head, falling over constantly to give the 'let loose' look in the falling images and giving her a great attitude when she was eating the burger. I even got her to growl, which as a first for her proved to be very interesting and amusing - getting us lots of attention from people shouting out of their car windows and trams pipping at us! For one of her first shoots, she conquered it all and proved extremely confident in front of the camera - and the audience we got every now and then! Also, with the images too I wanted to focus on hidden identity, covering her eyes taking that away from her, really adding to the edgy look to the images."</i></span></span></span></div><div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

Skin was exposed through an array of strong to subtle prints, detailing from embroidery and presenting seams, as well as colours that were almost as shocking as the nakedness lying beneath. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjffGTOASw26ubPhxQ4rlWSJQQYWlvCrxJ7LyMJuObxOwXGA15oIZJVUCCeqrbzpo01uerFDJhBxC7iyzfihZXA0HCw99soqrF77ucUjsfAchHdvAQltXSwnfksMtnl2nRJDyK7hpKN6fQ/s1600/the+sheer+trend+-+vogue+new.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><img border="0" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjffGTOASw26ubPhxQ4rlWSJQQYWlvCrxJ7LyMJuObxOwXGA15oIZJVUCCeqrbzpo01uerFDJhBxC7iyzfihZXA0HCw99soqrF77ucUjsfAchHdvAQltXSwnfksMtnl2nRJDyK7hpKN6fQ/s1600/the+sheer+trend+-+vogue+new.jpg" /></span></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><br />

Despite the look varying from Hawaiian glamour at Dior, 70s luxury at Marc Jacobs and Ballet beautiful at Chloe, there is one thing you must note; the length – the longer the better. Simplicity usually reigns through sheer graceful garments, however this summer designers seized at the opportunity to add exceptional detail to the neck. Embellished sequins and flamboyant ruching created a powerful and sensational edge to a summer grace.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">However not everything was see-through on the catwalk, designers took pride in showing seams this spring. Proenza Schouler broke the traditional rules with sheer, by adding a feminine touch to a sporty silhouette. Seams created a chance for a sleek sport style through new constructed lines on top of strong black bralets. Christopher Kane did not steer away from his distinctive neons, the designer transformed structured silhouettes as the garments seemed to play with transparency. Similarly Richard Nicoll kept the lower half more opaque whilst a metallic lycra bra showed through under the soft neutral palette.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Layering lace covered the catwalk, creating levels of lace for a more subtly seductive look when pure white enveloped roaring red at Erdem. Whilst at Dolce and Gabanna, lace appeared innocent in white, but revealed an underlying provocative edge with wedding-night lingerie underneath. A combination of lace overlaying only lingerie with a matching alluring fan in Louis Vuitton’s oriental collection, of course bearing the signature monogram. The look fully embraced lady-like desire, through the limitation of a tight-fitting skirt and the flirtatious see-through fabric.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Pheobe Philo at Celine returned to the original subtlety of sheer fabric, through a plain-cut chic to transfer minimalism by adding the freshness of summer.

It wasn't necessarily due to the larger turn out, but it was the fact that Susie Lau of </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><a href="http://www.stylebubble.co.uk/style_bubble/">Style Bubble</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">, and Stevie Mackenzie Smith of </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><a href="http://www.discothequeconfusion.blogspot.com/">Discotheque Confusion</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> really gave us an insight into their worlds. Despite Harriet being armed with Topshop's questions for Susie and Stevie in case of silence at the Q&A session, there was no need as the questions kept coming and the answers were honest and engaging. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We're often hurriedly booking train tickets to London when there's something cool going off, and wishing we lived there because Nottingham's not quite the epi-centre of Fashion - which is why it's always so great when something inspirational happens here!

Susie reinforced the importance of being passionate about your content - in the beginning, to make sure she had originality in her posts about discoveries of new designers and unknown shops she did google searches to see if she was simply re-reporting. Another point she made was about style blogging, and how she surpasses 'what I'm wearing today' by creating inspirational outfits around a theme or argument or piece which relates to an exhibition. We find we come across a lot of documenting of day-to-day outfits which has made us reluctant to do this ourselves, but Susie's approach has made us look at this element of fashion blogging in a new light, more outfit posts, we promise!</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We were surprised when Susie explained that she often saves what she discovers at "Fashion month" until she's re-seen the collections and appreciated them up close. This was encouraging as this is something we do, in such a fast paced industry there's pressure to roll out posts as quickly as possible.</span></div></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

It's one thing looking at style posts on blogs, but admiring some one's creativity in their dressing in person is another, so we ran after her for a photograph and to quickly ask what her outfit was made up of, we loved the vintage sheer robe she wore over the dress. </span></div></div></td></tr>

They both agreed that they want the industry to regard blogging as just another way of covering Fashion, rather than a strange phenomenon. This is the way it's going, and why shouldn't it? It's about individuality, and blogging gives the individual who wears it a voice. After all, Fashion needs an opinion. </span></div></div>Evie Hainsworth and Harriet Gibsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00401179076421601819noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3332040270692136670.post-5661741572436075492011-03-16T20:45:00.000+00:002011-03-16T20:45:09.590+00:00Video Interviews at Vauxhall Fashion Scout: Anna Lee and Nicole Murray.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So, when these were shot, the whole video interview thing was new to us.

So as you can imagine, we leaped at the chance to be runners behind the scenes of the Catwalk at Vodafone London Fashion Weekend.</span></div></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"></span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Upon arrival at the tent in the courtyard of Somerset House, we were introduced to the Stylist Molly and her Assistant, Lily.We were then straight to work - and sent out on 'pick-ups.' To see the address of the Louboutin press office being written on the page before me was like heaven, that was until I had made it there, red faced from actually running, and felt the weight of 7 pairs of divine red soled platforms! I then ran back to the station with the discrete brown paper bags which were stuffed with pink tissue, the only give-away being the note attached to each, with 'Miss Molly' hand-written in the same classic font as the Louboutin signature which made the header above it. From there, I made my way to pick up a BodyAmr dress, which was handed over by Amr Ali himself!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Long before this, Evie had completed her pick up, which was Mark Fast garments. So by the time I got back, Evie had already completed the tasks of checking that all the Mark Fast Garments were there, placing them on to hangers for models to try on with stylist Molly, and was making up the boards which display the models' head shots and looks. The twelve beautiful girls each had four looks, comprised of two trends (one being inspired by the film Black Swan, and the other putting a ladylike spin on the neon trend), and two designer collections, the first by Bora Aksu and the second by Mark Fast. Whilst clothes fittings were taking place alongside hair and make up, we took on the task of shoe fitting, wincing as the models literally squeezed their feet in to the skyscraper heels, jotting down requests for plasters and heel grips.</span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It wasn't all hard work - we also got to have a peek at what Fashion Weekend had to offer in our breaks, meet Ellie Goulding, who performed at the catwalk, and I was also asked to stand in for a hair demonstration in the VIP Lounge, (my hair was back-combed into the high buns seen on the models above, a painful experience, but totally worth it as I got to squeeze in to a leather Giles dress!). We know experience is a priceless attribute in the battle for jobs in the Fashion Industry, but we honestly would do this again and again without question. It's hard work, it's voluntary, but it is so much fun.

Anyone who knows me, will know how indecisive I am, so as you can imagine, it took me a very long time to get my arms out of my wardrobe this morning, and eventually onto the train which took me to my favourite city. I felt a little out of place on my local bus in platform wedges, 70's wide leg trousers and Evie's vintage biker jacket, but upon arrival at Somerset House, that all changed. </span></div></div><div style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 14px; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />

I awkwardly posed for Fashion156, Vogue Portugal, Elle, and several style bloggers, amongst them Aindrea (writer of <a href="http://www.thisisrags.com/blog/">This Is Rags</a>) and Nathalie (writer of <a href="http://www.no-no-coco.com/">No No Coco</a>) who became lovely company from then on after a good chat about forgetting to take out lens caps off cameras and spending all of our money on clothes (Aindrea managed to save up £150 once…and spent it in Topshop on the way to the bank). </span></span></div></div><div style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 14px; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />

My inner magpie came to the surface, as you'll see from my photos that will be posted as soon as I have time, the jewellery on offer was simply divine. We also loved the angular and adventurous sunglasses and beautiful fur coats (though I wish they'd been faux, I love foxes…when they're alive). </span></span></div></div><div style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 14px; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />

A much needed </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">Redbull was offered on my exit, and I couldn't resist another caffeine kick in Pret en route. After inevitable location troubles (due to my terrible map reading), I found the venue and explored the exhibition. Amongst the designers showing were Nicole Murray, whose collections <a href="http://fashionstrand.blogspot.com/2010/11/we-interview-fashion-designer-nicole.html">Evie and I have adored for some time now</a>, and Anna Lee, who I spent Friday evening with at the <a href="http://fashionstrand.blogspot.com/2011/02/all-walks-beyond-catwalk-and-rankin.html">National Portrait Gallery All Walks Late Shift</a>! It was lovely to catch up and see their collections, Nicole has been using gorgeous chestnut leather and rich mauves and burnt oranges, whilst Anna Lee's vivid orient-inspired printed jersey and leggings are definitely now on my wish list. I filmed video interviews with both designers, so you can see their collections and get to know them as well! </span></div></div><div style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 14px; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />

Once everyone made it inside, the show soon kicked off. With classical versions of brilliant songs such as Nirvana Smells Like Teen Spirit guiding the models down the runway, the show was an interesting one. I have it all filmed and ready to post, and for this I risked my life by joining other brave camera users on a ledge, balancing precariously in my extremely high heels! </span></span></div></div><div style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 14px; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />

It's been a lovely start to Fashion Week, I'll be posting the films, photographs and reports after some much-needed sleep.
