FAD: Stitching the town Red,White & Blue~

 

Once again, i was given the opportunity to transform into a fashion journalist for FADs 2012 junior awards.
 The theme was 'Great British Design', everyone gathered their inspiration from the V&A, designers and everything that could possibly be British.
Out of over 100 ambitious designers from London and Manchester,  25 finalists were handpicked to showcase their garments on one the closing catwalk shows to London Fashion Week at the Freemason's hall.
The last day of London Fashion Week, and what an honor for these ambitious designers to close it with their hard work

~I stumbled upon a few V.I.P's sitting in the front row~

Red, white and blue were the key colours used, representing the Union Jack flag. 
Hints of tartan, leather and baroque prints representing British culture in all aspects, from Punk to the Victorian era.

Thank you FAD, keep doing what you do!


 Congratulations to everyone who won and to everyone who got as far as their garments walking down a catwalk. I hope everyone has come out learning at least one new thing and carries it with them into the future~

London Fashion Week



Yesterday, me, Dodo and Siqi decided to go fap over drool worthy fashion at Somerset house for London Fashion Week.

 It was really surprising how many people took pictures of us, there were quite a few creepy photographers who pop out of no where and snap away, i'm dreading the day i see those pics, i know for a fact i pulled the most herpty derpty faces!

In the midst of our fashion orgy's we got noticed by someone.....not JUST someone.....Carri Mundane of CASSETE PLAYA noticed us!!! Shethen later asked to take a picture of us and tweeted it GIGGIDY GIGGIDY GOOOOO *o*


"Met these mini powerbabes outside the BFC showspace ♥ "
As soon as she hovered away to do important fashion stuff, these 2 fitties approached us and invited us to join them inside the Cheap Monday party van!!! This was their way of somehow promoting the new shop which recently opened up in Carnaby street on Friday. It was proper groovy inside, quite similar to the mystery van in scooby doo!
