Although shopping in this area is probably the best in London, I wouldn't feel that I was providing you with the ultimate in fashion gossip if I didn't let you in on a few secrets of Fashion Week and what to expect to see in the shops in six month s' time. The shops are filled with colour and rich clothes at the moment and this looks set to continue into your Winter wardrobe. Fashion week was the b rightest I have ever seen it. Bright rock chick tops are the name of the game teamed with denim, goatskin, and leather. Not everyone had gone for bright, though, and the other feeling coming through this season is one of luxury and expense.
Fashion is 'moneyed-up' at the moment.
His collection mixed white silk with nude leather tailoring exposed in perhaps the most underground show on the London Fashion Week schedule this season, literally. It was held in the cavernous depths of an East End Goods Yard, where the guests assembled in a reconstructed Japanese garden to munch their way through a plate of Sushi before the show started. Personally I was more interested in the punch, thanks to the Antarctic climate of the venue. Lucy Barlow had, as ever, a fantastic array of hats. The Jacksons have also performed their usual miracles and their collection is centred on celebrating the lives of two fantastic women of the 20th century, Marianne Faithfull and Marlene Dietrich.
