By Reem in : Designers, Fashion, Fashion Week, London // Sep 19 2011

This morning set a story of laid back romance for me at the old Burberry Building at 19-22 Haymarket. The venue for the Richard Nicoll show was perfect with an atmosphere of elegance and history.

By Reem in : Designers, Fashion, Fashion Week, London // Sep 19 2011

Jasper Conran was my first show of Day 2 at LFW. I took my seat to enjoy a brilliant view of one of my favourite collections thus far.

By Reem in : Designers, Fashion, Fashion Week, London // Sep 19 2011

The PPQ show was one of the last on the first day of a hectic London Fashion Week. I arrived quite late but luckily the show was still being queued for, so I hadn’t missed anything. In fact, the queue began to snake around the building. It was insanely packed. So much so that I [...]
