Woo Hoo! Welcome to London Fashion Week A/W 2010!!!!!
Okay, so slight excessive use of exclamation marks here but I am on my second (very strong) espresso of the morning and it is only 7:40am. Had a late night last night (work, not play, unfortunately) and got up at stupid-o-clock this morning to upload photos. Already I feel a wee bit drained. Anyhow, I shall solider on for the sake of you guys ;)
So, yesterday? What started off as a bit of a slow Day 1 went completely into turbo-charged overdrive in the afternoon with the most incredible spectacle, both on and off the catwalk, at the Hakaan show. Now I will readily admit that I didn't have much idea who this Hakaan was before the show... I had a quick peek at his bio on the LFW website and knew he was Turkish but that was pretty much it *hangs head shamefacedly*. However I suspected something was up when the guests started to roll in:
Kate Moss (hellllllllooooooooooooooo!!!!), Carine Roitfeld (double helllllllooooooo!!), Emmanuelle Alt (I was drooling by this stage), George Cortina (who sat next to Ms Moss), David Walliams, and Stephen Gan. And that was just off the runway!
And on the runway? Lara Stone (damn that girl has a fab figure!I loved the look of utter pride on David Walliams face when Lara walked in the finale), Natalia Vodianova (Oh My Lord: how can she possibly have such an amazing figure after giving birth to all those babies?!), Natasha Poly, Anja Rubik... the list goes on.
And the clothes? wearable (although some of the cut-outs and catsuits would only really work on the most toned of figures) and rather special.
Hakaan we salute you... and your celebrity friends!
And my dapper man here? Its fashion public relations manager, Matthew Zorpas, whose photo from last season I posted on Thursday!
p.s. Sorry guys- I was meaning to reply to your comments this morning cos I know some of you have asked me questions etc. I will get to them tonight as I have now run out of time.
