im prit-tay stoked

The pr company I worked for during fashion week- being Snow PR have asked me to go go in a couple days this week! Im very happy because it means I must be doing something right! And as I mentioned before they where all so lovely, not at all like this screwed up perception of what people within the fashion industry should be like. Its so much easier to be friendly so I dont get it when people boss you about and act all special. Not guna mention any names but I did meet some not so nice people at one of the shows I did. Get down off that hight horse I say! So yes, after being oh so happy about the fact I could lie in tomorrow that little plan just flew out the window. Have to be in the office for 9am! woowwzeerzzz. I feel very business like!

P.S i love you

After a solid week of work at LFW, I was over the moon to end on such a good note in such a pleasant atmosphere- the Paul Smith ss10 show, I couldnt have wished for anything more. It was my second season running and it was such a amazing thing to be part of. Due to the god awful postal strike I spent weeks worrying I wasnt guna make it as my pass didn't arrive but luckily I was given a new one (my theory is some little postman stole it and went to the show). It was surprisingly calm and everything was organised down to a t, no running around and trying to track down models that were still in other shows! It was a relief after one of the longest weeks of my life! Back stage the hosts Claridges (heaven) where providing tea and cakes (the best ive ever had) the beautiful models cough cough Coco where getting ready....everything was tip top. Paul Smith was walking around balancing a book on his head. A book that he wrote the preface for and also features one of his ss 10 suits on the front cover - Gentlemen of Bakongo! by Daniele Tamagni! The front cover is one of the best photographs ive ever seen! Same one was used for the invites, you can see it on my dodgy scan above.
Any way, the collection was amazing. As always he hit the nail on the head, full of mix and match colours and patterns for a very fun summer! It still conveyed the amazing british eccentricity that to me Paul Smith is all about. Clean cut suits, popping colours, beautiful brogues.....ahh the compliments are endless. I have selected a few of my fave bits to show you. It was all very over exciting as I got a kiss (on the cheek) from the big man him self. I cant wait till next season!

Pam Hogg London Fashion Week

I feel so so lucky that I got work with Snow PR (possibly the nicest company in the whole world) for Fashion Week. The preparation work as a bit tiresome, writing invites, posting invites etc  (yawn)  but the overall experience was probably one of the best of my life so far. I got to work 3 amazing shows with them, Pam Hogg being the first. It was absolutely breath taking. The location was like non other, underground car park just off the Strand by day, by night and gritty fashion heaven. It had this really cool warehouse/derelict feel. Twas brilllliant. Then I had a bit of a fit when I noticed my favorite model Isa was modeling...mmmm. Plus beauties like Alice Dellal and Daisy Lowe. hawt. Any way the show was amazing and If I had the bottle or body to wear one of Hoggs cat suits id live in them. Super sexy garms, full of boob exposure....Pam you sexy bint. I think its safe to say revealing cut outs are guna be big for ss 10. Unfortunately my pictures where a bit wack so I have pinched a couple from the on/off website to mix it up a bit. Oh yeah, I also met Boy George. lol. the first few are pre show, I couldn't resist the Isa one (not wearing Pam Hogg incase you couldn't guess)

when I get the chance to breath.....

I'll be uploading all my pictures from Fashion Week! The last week has been mental. Lack of sleep and heels. Im so tired but its all worth it. I have met some amazing people this Fashion Week. My last show is tomorrow, Roksanda Ilinic!! Should be a gooden. Anyway I dont want to bore you with idle chit chat. Hang on in there and soon you can read some interesting posts with interesting pictures! Including me with Coco Rocha : )

Peace till next time 

Chloe Sevigny...marry me? Then hand over the shoes.

I cant get enough of Chloe Sevignys line for Opening Ceremony (found there). Im already saving up for her unisex navy velvet trousers. aka my pretties, the ones I fell in love with at Dover Street Market that fateful day.....ahhhhhh. AND I cant stop thinking about 'THOSE' shoes! I've been searching high and low for them... considering they had to be pre-ordered I doubt ill ever get my paws on a pair. I have never seen such a appetising wedge! I dont know about you but I can find them quiet hard to stomach..... But this I love. Everything looks very soft. Bonus. Other then the leather shorts....that im also feelin'

work work work. you gotta love it

Recently everything is such a confusing mess! I went back to uni today and of course got a brief within a hour! In a nut shell telling me to get work for Fashion Week, learn from Fashion Week and then to do a presentation...on Fashion Week! Identifying 3 key trends for s/s10.....I have one week to prepare!! Luckily I have managed to get work lined up...some fairly glamourous, like working the Paul Smith show again (smile) and others meaning that Im writing invitations out for Pam Hoggs show on my afternoon off. Not so glamourous I know but experience is experience! It should get my foot in the door for Snow PR and ill get to work at the Pam Hogg On/Off show (another smile) and if im lucky other shows that Snow PR and handling at On/Off. Mmmmmm so I should have pleantly to write about and do my presentation on! Its all very exciting folks. Fashion Week here I come!!!

The September Issue

I cant wait. Its going be amazing, beautiful, inspiring, perfect....ooohhhh im excited. For every fashion lover its a absolute must see! Telling the story of the legendary Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour....and how her and her team of 'voguettes' (my new word) create the perfect September issue. Ahhhhh!!! I cant contain myself!!! Check out the trailer.... X

Brigitte Bardot/Original sex kitten

Ahhh alas, today I trekked into central to go to the Brigitte Bardot and the original Paparazzi exhibition at the James Hyman Gallery. Then for some stupid reason at peak time on a saturday afternoon it was shut for no reason so I had to press my face against a once very clean window to catch a glimpse of anything Bardot. BUT Im making another trip over as soon as I can scrape together some more cash...for now Im left with a beautiful memory and the joy of being able to research the images the net- not quiet the same but will have to do!
What fascinates me is how much the paps have clearly grown hungrier and hungrier over time (pricks)- its actually pretty scary! Some of the photographs are so chic and beautiful its difficult to believe that they where taken by paparazzi, nowadays the best we get is a shot of some wank celebrities bikini line. I'd much rather see these beauties of Bardot running around France playing cat and mouse with her many pursuers, perfectly capturing the mood and atmosphere of 60's France...oooohhhh how I wish I could have experienced it. Maybe in another life ....I mean 60's France!! I'll be seeing the exhibition a lot sooner than that I hope!! Any way, blabbing over, here are a very very few from the exhibition that I picked of the net. You must go see it to! The Gallery is on Saville Row. Its a stonker folks!!!

p.s Lara Stone look-a-like?? Especially 5th one down...

just COS k !!

Take me to this better place... pretty please : )



I want it, I want it, pleeeaaaassee. Why cant I have just a little bit of cash flowww. Seriously i'm getting so tired of being poor right now. I've already mapped out numerous shopping trips in my head and have planned what i'm wearing and where without even owning any of the garms yet (cool, i know i know). So....COS is my favorite highstreet(ish) shop. Its diverse, modern, simple and has a edge to it that thank *uck not every tom dick and harry will like. If you dont know me sooooo well you should know how angry it makes me to think of places like (cough cough) Topshop (sorry peeps) that just throw up fashion for people who need to be force fed it as if they cant think for themselves. I do believe in staple items and all that shizz so places like Topshop and H&M are ideal for (certain) bits but it hardly gives you a strong identity to wear it head to toe, it makes you a window display for companies that drive slave labour. Im crankey and tired so am going to quit the rant and show y'all the beauts I have my eye on (hello beautiful riding trousers, i'd love a go please).











This one for work...


And this one for play...
