I'm writing this on my now shattered iPhone. Worst fashion week disaster ever. At the end of an amazing day I was having my photo taken and dropped said iPhone smack down onto the cobbles of Somerset house. Smooth. Anyway, LFW day three started at Freemasons Hall with Fashion Scouts Graduate Show Case and Drinks Reception. There were some really interesting new designers exhibiting there work, many rust graduated from Universty of The Arts London which is exciting for me considering I'm about to start at UAL's London College of Fashion. I then met up with F'row buddy Mel from Fashion 156 and we headed over to the Topshop show space for the Sophia Webster presentation. It was just before the Unique show started and a PR miss directed us towards the show tent where we very nearly got into unique, sadly a very handsome door man asked for wristbands, so close! We went on to the 'Secret Garden' which was breathtakingly beautiful, flowers, butterfly's and shoes- what more could a girl want? The Sophia Webster presentation was unlike anything I've seen before and I think my favourite part of LFW so far. Afterwards Mel and I headed out and got snapped by Company magazine on the way to late lunch at Nando's. I then headed to Somerset House for some end of day street styling which was cut short due to the iPhone tragedy. Bar that, I had a fabulous day.
Walking into the Sophia Webster presentation was every bit like walking into the secret garden. Beautiful flowers tumbled down from each corner and covered every archway. Colourful hanging baskets featured a Sophia Webster SS14 shoe placed in the middle of them whilst the models perched on quite literal flower 'beds' made up as bugs and insects. It was like a bugs life come wonderland slumber party, as models with antenna styled hair flitted in and out of cute and cheeky poses the air was filled with beautiful sounds sang live by Katy B. Her signature fun and girly style was evident across an array of the insect inspired prints featuring butterfly winged heels and polka dot peep toes. The count down to spring begins here as Sophia Webster nails it for next season.
My top picks from Fashion Scout's Graduate Show Case this morning, there was such a diverse range of designs throughout the exhibition this season. I loved the glitter and leather graphic pieces by Sadie Williams, up close the fabric is just amazing, along with the intricately structural pieces by Min Wu and pastel shades in Xaio Li's collection.
Only two more days to go! Check out my instagram for videos and live updates from LFW :)
