6 Things I Love and Loathe About London Fashion Week
As New York Fashion Week finished and London Fashion Week (LFW) just started this week, I wanted to share some of my insights and honest opinion of positive and not so positive experiences of attending LFW few years ago. Don’t get me wrong, I was incredible fortunate to attend several designer shows and rub shoulders with fellow London fashionistas, which I documented here, here and here. But despite their allure, fashion weeks also reveal a less glamorous side of the fashion world… THINGS I LOVED 1.Creative buzz – twice a year London transforms into a beehive of buzzing fashion editors, photographers, celebrities, bloggers, PR girls and models roaming from venue to venue. Central London, especially around…

Designer Profile: Huishan Zhang Wins Dorchester Fashion Prize
Last year I was lucky to attend London Fashion Week in my capacity as a fashion editor for a small start-up magazine. Out of many collections I got to see one stuck out, it was a presentation by China-born Huishan Zhang.

London Fashion Week 2012: Street Style
So, it’s been a week since the end of the London Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2013 shows. This year I was lucky to attend it in my new role as a fashion editor of a new and exciting magazine. While the shows I attended (John Rocha, Osman, Huishan Zhang, etc) were great and lots of fun, I think all the major action took place in and around Somerset House. That’s where most of the stylish people of London and beyond gathered for almost a week. Some came to show themselves, others to watch. Bloggers and photographers hunted for best looks, playing on vanity factor of fashionistas like myself. I have to…
