#LFW Fashion East Show

18.02.13

The Fashion East catwalk today showcased not only 3 talented designers adept creativity,but savvy commercialism as well. Claire Barrow hinted at bridal wear through her embroidery and velvet heavy collection whilst Ashley William’s playful, slogan branded designs ended with a cute foray into childrenswear. Meanwhile Ryan Lo’s collection felt like a japanese mermaid prom (one where vast quantities of candy floss were consumed) and although it was surely not aimed at the lucrative prom market, you can see his designs gaining teenage social media dedication not disimilar from henry holland on instagram, tumblr and twitter.

Noticeable were the eccentric clutches that appeared in varying forms in each designer’s collection-  from an ethnic baby born, to perspex envelopes and 90’s cuddly toys, its clear that entry level accessories provide brand’s with a backbone of support. But support in its most prevalent form comes of course from the inspiring and  charismatic Lulu Kennedy. Fashion East’s founder who each season offers three womenswear and three menswear designers the opportunity to present a catwalk collection to the international press and buyers attending London Fashion Week 

Designers receive a bursary, free venue and complete catwalk show production, professional catwalk photographs and video. Designers are also given mentoring, guidance and in-house PR throughout the season from Lulu Kennedy and her team. Designers are selected by Lulu Kennedy and a panel of fashion industry experts. Successes include Richard Nicoll, Holly Fulton, Jonathan Saunders, House of Holland, Gareth Pugh, Marios Schwab, Louise Goldin, Roksanda Ilincic and Meadham Kirchhoff.

Im all about supporting new talent whether its jewellery designers over at MYFLASHTRASH.COM or Lulu’s own collaborations which you can buy online over at Lulu & Co

Morocco Surprise

13.02.13

I turned 22 on the 9th of Feb and one of my close friends turned 21 so her boyfriend organised a surprise trip to Morocco! The look on her face when she walked into the hotel and we were all there with her family was just the sweetest thing ever! 3 glorious days spent exploring the desert, souks and cuisine of Marrakesh and finally delving into my spring summer wardrobe. I came back to London and threw my party in a suite at  The W Hotel (where our FLASHTRASH pop up shop is!) that needless to say went on all night and ended in the early hours with room service aka pancakes.

#NYFW Round Up

11.02.13

Was a shame to turn down NYFW this year but business and work took over – its a busy time in the jewellery world! But managed to catch a few live streams (Can they ever really replace a real show though? Interesting thoughts from Suzy Menkes here)- Victoria Beckham’s delicious polo necks and violet and canary yellow colour palette were a wonderfully romantic contrast to the sharp tailoring.

 Elsewhere Thakoon’s contour lace panels (below) caught my eye as did Mara Hoffman’s rad prints.

 I had so much fun last year at the Tommy Hilfger show with Cory Kennedy and Mia so was sad not to be there this year because I totally enjoyed the TWEED versus HOUNDSTOOTH battle extravagazna! It was so preppy powerful I just wanted to pick up my lacrosse stick and go get harry potter out of the London Library.

For more OMG that look is so cute featuring  suno, gryphon, custo barcelona,  juicy couture and  rebecca taylor  see my pintrest. Later fashion cats xxx
