Gossip: Thursday
Nothing nice to say? Come sit by us…
Outside Fashion Fringe
Waiting assistant 1: Ooh ooh, look I can see Donatella!
Assistant2: Where?
A1: There, that orange glow!
A2: That’s the street lamp you moron.
Both cackle.
Intern 1: Right, I’m going in.
Intern 2: Well give me my ticket, I need a fag first.
Intern 1: What ticket.
Intern 2: My ticket. The other one in your hand.
Intern 1: Oh no no no, that’s my safety net.
Intern 2: In case what? An eagle swoops down from the sky and steals it in its manicured claws before sauntering through? Give it.
Erdem third row
Fed up fashionista 1: Is that why all those models look like they don't remember how to smile - it's too much work walking a straight line and not falling off the catwalk? Seriously. They look like they’re forced to wear those clothes.
Fashionista 2: Like when you dress up a cat, and it looks at you with its ears flat, ready to scratch you…
Post Erdem
American Buyer: Oh my God, the dress with the ruffles, I die.
Buyers assistant: I know, die.
American Buyer: Die, totally die.
British photographer: Before you both die, can I grab a shot?
A crowd of baying photogs try to grab a shot of a particularly fashionable young lady, who squeals ‘I am NOT an animal’ before muttering ‘I’m coming in tracksuit bottoms and flipflops next year,’, to which a pap quipps, ‘Oh Daaarrrrrrling won’t it be just fabulous by then?’
UJ congratulates
Fashion Fringe winner Go By A Secret Path and her Sarah Jessica Parker inspired collection.
UJ is fed up with
Harry Potter wand-waver Emma Watson. A shoot in Italian Vogue, buckets of Chanel, and now bloody front row seats at all the best shows. Back to Hogwarts with you. Witch.
UJ is noticing
Bugs. Not just bug eye shades sported by important fashion eds, but the ones in Harvey Nic’s windows and the jewellery in Liberty and Topshop. Creepy or crush worthy?
How the eyes on Style.com’s talking cartoon reporters keep roving around before they start speaking. Still makes us laugh.
People touting gift bags from yesterday’s shows. Yes we can SEE you’re obviously very important and well connected, with a nice little collection of eco-friendly canvas bags. Now unless you’re planning on using them for your Tescos purchases, get rid.
