After a long day 1 at fashion week I was certainly ready to get back into the swing of things. The weather dreadful this time of year as it normally is. I'm not one to normally wear black but I felt that it was certainly appropriate for day two. So I wore a vintage Andree Elisabeth jacket, H&M drawstring tailored trousers mixed with a long line jersey top all placed underneath my zara overcoat and a vintage burberry belt.
I was rather excited about my accessorises. You can never go wrong with a good bag and pair of gloves. So I was lucky enough to be sent a pair of Dents men's gloves which match my classic black clutch perfectly so I was all set.

As a lot of you know I work with Menswear clothing on a day to day basis. So I was really exited to do London Fashion Week Mens this season. I'm always normally rather busy with work around this time of year, but as we know...... FASHION COMES FIRST! ( FCF as I like to call it) So I took my tiered self and made it to Men's Fashion Week., I made sure my closet was ready and organgised and styled some outfits together, threw on some shades and a good pair of boots and made it to the runway! I was really intrigued to see the BFC Space and couldn't wait to see the new Autumn winter collections. I called up the fashion squad and we were ready to hit up the cobbles. DAY 1 The first show I attended was the London College Of Fashion Graduate show. I think it's really important to see young and up and coming designers. We have had some many successful designers come from LCF so I was happy this was the first show I saw. LONDON COLLEGE OF FASHION - MENS GRAD SHOW some of my stand out designers were Jooin Yang, Wentao, Shu Yao and Tak Lee. - My highlight of the show was this Shu Yao coat. I thought the use of colour was amazing. My next show was one of the most highly anticipated shows of the season. Topman Design. Always a good highlight and always in the forefront of new and young looks, I attended the show with my dear friend Beccy swan & Alex Guiste from The Young Guidance Online. .The collection showed and mix of cool street wear, Coloured leopard print coats, shimmer glitter jumpers and bold colours and waxed fabrics were all shown during the collection TOPMAN DESIGN After topman we took the car and ran across town to check out the Barbour Presentation. BARBOUR Barbour took inspiration from the archives for their collection, The presentation had a lot of showmanship and set pieces which I certainly appreciated. I always love seeing a Pheobe English presentation. There's always a sense of subtle drama to the presentation. The collections are always presented in a beautiful and creative manner with an artistic and elegant flair. She certainly did not disappoint in this presentation as she put the boys to work to do some house hold chores. Because anything a women can do and man should be able do it too! PHEOBE ENGLISH This collection featured loose coats, hooded jackets and smart folding collars with a relaxed leg profile featured highly. The use of fabric was varied for the collection featuring everything from velvet's, to waxed cottons. The use of colour had a neutral and easy wearable palette including bright navys and dark greens, After a full morning and afternoon of shows. We got a little thirsty and needed time to chill and relax in between shows. As everyone does. I mean its still winter so we all need a little spritz and a pick me up so me and Beccy went across the road and had cocktails and a ciggy in the ME Hotel Radio Roof Top bar. We then went for a dinner then made our way over the Shorditch in the evening. To see the A-Cold-Wall collection runway show, A-COLD-WALL After dinner we went to see street brand A-COLD-WALL.. The brand have a concept of bringing difference worlds together segregated by "class and environment". So we decided to check them out. The collection seemed very much inspired by urban culture with a added sense of cityscape structure using foils and silks. well after a long day of shows the party circuit seemed like a interesting idea...... so keep and eye out for all the gossip on what else we got upto and what other shows came out as PART DEUX is coming soon........ The new year is always a time to reflect and look back. So I thought I would would reflect on last fashion weeks personal highlights and what you are going to see as the designers launch their new Spring Summer collections in stores and to clients. Happy New Year.
As we are gearing up for another Fashion Week season I thought I would show some shots of me at last fashion week..
