LFW | Day II | Getting Into The Fashion Week Groove!

If you missed Day I, catch up here!

By Day II I knew where the venues were, I had sussed out the best coffee spots for recharging my phone and my caffeine levels, and I wasn’t so overwhelmed when the photographers actually wanted to snap ME?! (On Day I, I just kept thinking, “do they know I’m nobody?)!

If you’re a fashion fan, and adore seeing creative, stylistas do their worst, then you will literally LOVE the buzz on the streets before and after a show. The shot of me above, by Alan Watson, was taken right after the first show of the day - Unwinding India, at Freemason’s Hall (show footage below). You can see the stylish, sartorialists in the background, rocking the white boot trend or a column of colour (red). And this was a quiet spot, picked especially to let my Christopher Kane rainbow shine brightly!

My white Stella McCartney heels were a fab, fresh foil to all that colour, and I loved that both pieces were by British Designers (and one a Scot, no less)! Incidentally, I didn’t wear the heels all day! I sneaked my sneakers into my backpack for running around between venues! Notice too, that the talented, super-friendly, Scottish stylist, photographer and fashion journalist, Brian James [@brianjamesstyling], captured these 2 great shots of me AND complementary fluoro van and pink taxi in the background - stylist extraordinaire indeed!

Phew! Day II in the bag, finally. The editing and collating of my myriad images and video content has been a little overwhelming and has taken longer than I ever thought possible! Please let me know if you’re enjoying this summary of my LFW experience by leaving a word or two in the comments. Don’t forget to check back for Day III, coming soon…

Thanks
