Zoe Jordan AW13

So the two collections I was luckily enough to see where Zoe Jordan and Bora Aksu! I never normally do reviews on collections, I like to leave that to the professionals! But I might as well give it go! (Never know,Mulberry may ask me to review their show next collection after this!)  This post is the Zoe Jordan collection!

So London Fashion Week kicked off with Zoe Jordan! After the hype over Laura Whitemore, Jamie Winstone and other celebs on the frow had died down the show started!
It started off with clean cut white pieces that slowly turned into monochrome! (Think AW13,Think monochrome) But it wasn't long before the designer was adding in a touch of colour! Oranges and pinks really brighten up the collection! All her pieces were had a simple shape,letting the patterns and the colours doing the talking! The shoes had similiar characterics, many were a strong moody colour will a pop of orange or white! She also adding in hints of knitwear but still keeping the clothing casual! Then at the very end three amazing metallic pieces came out! A very successful collection and a great way to start fashion week!




Also a get back-ground view of the running steps to her collection: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_V8J7iA80c




London Fashion Week

If you remember I posted before about how I was going to London Fashion Week! I've been having a break from blogging for a while as I've been using up my time preparing for the day with my outfit ideas and looking up designers ect..  Well,yesterday was the day!

Quickly, I'll tell you about Thursday! Thursday was London Fashion Week eve and vodafone had put on a Mary Katrantzou showcase! It showed two of her last years collections,the hair,the make-up and also a clip from the designer on her inspirations! Mary is famous for her prints and it was great to see some of them up close! She uses regular every-day objects and turns them into a pattern! My favorite was the coat hanger one! She also recently had a collection in topshop! Keep your eyes out on Sunday (17th)  at 16:00 when she shows her AW 13 collection,I'm rather excited! Here's a few pictures but if you haven't already I'd google some of her past collections!

After that I headed back to my hotel and got ready for my early start the next day! At half 7 (It was my half term remember) I got up,got dressed and headed to the underground! Me and my mum headed to the Sommerset house grabbing a starbucks on the way! (Everyone lives on coffee in fashion week,right?) Anyway,I noticed that the early starts didnt stop any fashionistas in London! The highly decorated white tents where surrounded by some of the best dressed in town and also a gang of the Made In Chelsea stars were thrown in the mix! After some serious people watching I went inside and watched the Zoe Jordan AW13 collection and an hour later followed the Bora Asku (My reviews will be posted shortly)

I can only be grateful of an amazing fashion experience I have had! Last season I could only of dreamed of being at Fashion week! But that's not the end of it, fashion week has only just started! Are you ready?
