*Please be warned: this post is VERY photo heavy! Enjoy!
Last Friday I had the opportunity to go to London Fashion Week and for the first season in three, I was actually in London. With my press pass in one hand and my camera in the other, I tottered off to Somerset House. I wasn't able to stay for long as I was meeting friends but I was there for long enough to meet the lovely Amanda - aka The Online Stylist - and to sneak backstage with her (thank you so so much, Emma and Hannah of Push PR) at Jasper Garvida to get a peek at the collection before it hit the runway!
The minute we walked into the backstage area at Jasper Garvida - once I had gotten over the whole wide-eyed (and mouth!) excitement of actually being there - I was drawn to one dress:
Constructed from lace and tiny pieces of plastic, I was mesmerised by the shape and texture of the gown. When I saw that a model was being placed into said piece, I couldn't help but snap away!
A real Cinderella moment as the shoes were placed onto the models feet:
Then the designer himself (photo below, left) guided her through her "walk":
Exquisite, no? If only I could have seen it on the catwalk...
I am sure that Amanda, at The Online Stylist, will have taken some wonderful photos of the show from her front row position - so make sure to go and check them out. I have also found photographs from the show on Sarah's Scribbles.
