DANIELLE ROMERIL The Danielle Romeril presentation was a fashion jungle in the heart of London. A highlight for the presentations on the Sunday. Garments included fringed and ruffled flared trousers, a abstract jungle print trench and a jungle tartan dress. The use and variation of prints within the collection was very interesting. Soft colours were used - black, white, pastel pink and mint green. The shoes within the collection stood out to me also. Slingback crocs with fringe detail complemented the clothes well, blending in but still holding a strong place on their own. NIRO WANG YII YII SS16 collection had a youthful and playful feel to it. Tops and dresses were cut to straight, boxy silhouettes,collaging original graphic inserts were used too. Loose fitted silhouettes are also used for ease of comfort combining clean and minimal lines. The prints were playful and full of imagination. One of the highlights for me was the use of texture with crocheted spots mixed with mesh used within the knitwear. The main backdrop colour was white throughout the collection, but the bold assents of colour made the collection stand out. VINTI ANDREWS CLEO PEPPIATI Peppiatt's collection was a bold and fun experience and brightened my mood and day when entering the presentation space. The collection featured hand drawn prints, intricate beading and embroidery and a mixture of materials and textures. The collection was fun tongue and cheek promoting the idea of a strong modern day digital girl who is prepared for what ever the world and the future throws at her. The prints were fun, cute and bold. As eccentric as the items were, you would wear every piece from the collection... and as "crazy" as some may say it was........ it just worked! The SS16 collection coming in the not so distant future for you digital girls out there. The styling was superb by Pheobe Arnold and the fun set pieces were created by Amy Exton. CROSSOVER EAST X ADORN LONDON PARTYI missed a few of the early evening shows and started to pop into the party circuit early. The 1st stop for the evening was the Adorn jewellery party. Which featured jewellery designers such as Ejing Zhang , Hefang and A'Lepoque and featured clothing from AnnaKiki. Running to and frow from the front row of fashion week there was only one drink that I was drinking running the cobbles during fashion week..... Lovo. Lovo is the perfect blend of Thai coconut water and vodka. It was so refreshing and surprisingly good for you using less the 1% fruit sugar. It's a perfect cocktail for all of us who likes a drink every now and then but are trying to stay trim. AOFM 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY PARTY at Libertine. I then ran over to support my friends at AOFM Make up at the AOFM 10th London Fashion Week Anniversary Party. After a quick stop on the press line doing some interviews and taking pictures for paps, admirers and fans we ran into the party to be served drinks complementary of Russian Standard Vodka and we dined on the finest canapes by Canapes Direct. The best part of about the party was when you face got sweaty (which it did thanks to the fabulous DJ) there was a make up artist on stand by at all times waiting to give you a bit of a "touch up". Well I took up the offer and got touched up ready for the last party I was heading on to in the early hours of the morning.

I intend to review each collection individually, so before I do here is a quick summery of my adventures of me running around at London fashion week. so I have had such a busy few days. My schedule has been crazy and I've been running over the cobbles of London's street for London Fashion Week. My week started with a show at the main space. I was delighted to be invited to see the J. JS LEE show at the show space at the new main venue - Brewer Street Car Park. A lot of people have been skeptical about the new space and its had a little bit of controversy over the week, but nothing wrong with that if you ask me, I was also interviewed by the fabulous Naomi Isted about the collection. After a quick spot of lunch and a lot of rain, everyone ran inside for the much anticipated BORA AKSU Show. I was lucky to be out the rain and in the front row. The show was fantastic and everyone's eyes were gleaming at what they were seeing, Lace was used in a elegant and creative modern way. Sharp and bold colours were also used. After the Bora show. I ran over to the Elms Painting Rooms, which was was main space for some of the off schedule presentations. The Presentations were a lot more fun and more of a spectacle then what I had expected. The presentations featured great set designs, themes and styling which complemented the fashions perfectly . The first presentations for fashion I saw was the fabulous EDERLINE LEE and the entertaining VIELMA LONDON. After viewing afternoon presentations. I ran across the Vinyl Factory Soho where ON/OFF has made their return. I went to see the MANUEL FACCHINI Show. Which featured some stunning dresses and pieces which were perfectly wearable and easy to mix. One of the last catwalks shows I went to see was the highly acclaimed fashion scout ONES TO WATCH S/S16 show. Everyone who was anyone was trying to get in to see next season biggest and up and coming talent. It featured designs such as ANITA HIRLEKAR, JS SHIN, LEAF XIA and TYPICAL FREAKS. I had completely forgotten about eating so I went to dinner with a friend and then we attended one of the most wild parties I've been to in a while. We went to the ON/OFF PRESENTS show and party. which featured many designers including SYED NISAR, ROBERT WUN, MARKETA MARTISKOVA and COMIMHE MAC NEICE. The show itself was fabulous with some amazing talent being shown. But the party was crazy wild. It was completely filled with the London street fashion and urban art scene. Filled with artists, performers, body builders, gogo boys and performance artists. People including Cesare Polini, Benjamin Milan and Atonio Gigliotta where all in attendance to the event. I did not know I would have seen so much nudity or "vougeing" for that matter at a after party. But I'm not too much of a prude. It was a bunch of fun and a perfect way to end the first day
