On|Off second row
Fashionista: I love London Fashion Week but it's so odd - I keep seeing fashion people EATING.
WOUND at Selfridge’s
Queen in tall, furry hat: I love your tiara.
Queen in tiara: It¹s my sister’s. So tell me, what do you keep under yours?
Furry hat, stroking headwear: Half of Bolivia, sweetie. Half of Bolivia.
Inbar Spector
Swag Hag 1: Give me your bag. Is the black nail polish in there? I need black. Ugh, who wears red and white?
Hag 2, pointing: Ooh, look at her. She looks like a bitch.
Hag 1, dismissively: PRs. They’ve got no brains, do no work, yet are still such self-righteous bitches.
Hag 2: I know. It’s like, “You¹re not important, you’re a PR bitch, so sit the f@*# down.”
Hag 1: Oh look, that model just fell.
They both cackle.
Basso and Brooke
Fashion Editor: Apologies, but I’m not accepting kisses.
Male PR in pink blouse: I’m sorry?
Editor: Look, I’ll blow you one (blows kiss) but I don’t want to walk around with wet cheeks all day.
PR: Oh. I hear you.
AROUND TOWN
Inappropriate crush of the season:
Betty Jackson’s son – is he of age yet? The kid is a serious fox and so polite. He, and his gorgeous sister, sat on the ground during their mother’s show, instead of taking up valuable chair space. When it was over, the Jackson kids jumped up and whooped in applause. Aw, bless. And, um, phwoar.
Life Lessons:
Red Bull and rum at 11 in the morning, is a dicey decision. Especially for the young’un we overheard saying, “I mean, I drink every weekend, but I just can’t build up a tolerance; I still get drunk.”
Snore
At The Exhibition they had to put the champagne bar on the second floor because no one could be bothered to climb the stairs.
Time, please
Off-Schedule shows should NEVER start 45+ minutes late-especially when it’s the first show of the morning. No one else is coming, but we¹re all leaving. Likewise, 30 minutes early? Who are you kidding?
Fashion no-nos
A rash of side ponytails get an emphatic no and sadly we’re not talking about the catwalk. Evening dresses, meanwhile, with a built in backpack, are
also a no. Luckily this time it was part of a show.
PARTY PARTY PARTY
8pm The WOUND magazine launch at Selfridges sounded more like a gaggle of flamingos. Lashings of Chambord and champagne (pink bubbles) to keep the queens and press girls happy.
8:30pm Back to Brick Lane for Maaike Mekking, only to miss the beginning of her cute vintage harlequin-esque show, which was a shame. But really, who on earth starts anything early at Fashion Week?
6:30-9pm Buckler launch party. Huge new store, all shine and timber, off Brushfile St.
9pm Harsh Vs. Dean
Headlining the Buckler store after-party at Shoreditch House, you have to wonder: is Jodie this season’s Agyness?
