Backstage at Osman, London Fashion Week A/W 11

Osman is known for his architectural designs for the thinking woman, and this was certainly the case at London Fashion Week A/W 11.

The hair and beauty being created backstage were strictly architectural too, with black, shoulder-length, angled bobs being clipped.

The look that Osman wanted to resemble was: ‘I have been up all night cutting my hair with my boyfriend’s clippers, my bangs are too long but I am hiding behind my fringe.’ This hung on the wall as a mantra for the stylists. However, my personal favourite was the line, ‘Think about chopping vegetables.‘ Needless to say that a designers’ creative license is greater than yours or mine...

The result was a chic and edgy look which echoed the designs from the collection. I’m sure that we’ll see this look coming to a street near you...

London Fashion Week Top Ten A/W 11

Firstly, sorry for the HUGE amount of time passed

since my last blog post!

The past fortnight has been manic, both in the build-up to,

and during London Fashion Week and I feel like I haven't stopped.

I think that I've only just managed to come out the

other side with the help of my two best friends Mr expresso and Miss Berocca.

It's been an exciting few weeks working on LFW

and I can't wait to tell you all about my favourite bits...

Firstly, it makes sense to start from the top and tell you

about my favourite shows from LFW.

You can also remind yourself of my highlights from last London Fashion Week.

So, here is my top ten of shows:

1. Mary Katrantzou

2. Jonathan Saunders

3. Acne

4. Erdem

5. Burberry

6. Christopher Kane

7. Roksanda Ilincic

8. Holly Fulton

9. Charles Anastase

10. Richard Nicoll

London Fashion Week, Day Two, Round-Up

So, it's day two at London Fashion Week and I've been to see the Emilio de la Morena show this morning. Backstage was calmer than I anticipated with the models being made up to the likes of The Cure. See backstage photos below, will update catwalk shots shortly.

The show featured ice queen beauty with nude make-up and combed back wet-look hair. The palette was pastels and cream, featuring lots of mint green and lemon yellow. I loved the short hemlines, cropped jackets and punched leather.

Front row saw a petite Olivia Palermo and chic-looking Julia Restoin Roitfeld enjoying the show.

Bring on Osman! Gotta dash....
