Vivienne Westwood Red Label RTW AW11



I came back from Stockholm on Sunday, just had enough time to go home, drop of my bags and then leave again. I went to the Royal Courts of Justice where Vivienne Westwood showed her Red Label AW2011 collection.

Really liked the venue & the clothes and styling were amazing as usual. I especially LOVED the crowns made from hair.. My camera worked better this time, and i managed to squeeze in to a pretty got spot. I stood in the front, just behind the second row..
 


Had to go trough metal detectors before we could enter the show!
 
I met the lovely Sasha Rainbow in the queue.










This is my favourite look!


How cool is her smile?!

After the show I went to Charlie Le Mindu's afterparty. Pics coming soon...

Meeting with Sisters in Stockholm

I arrived late on friday night, and Stockholm greeted me with -18 degrees! As I didn't bring my winter coat, I had to wear layer upon layer upon layer to save myself from freezing to death. On Saturday I met up with the people from Sisters, and the other 14 designers who made it through...
 
Tomas & Anders from Studio Total, Sisters PR agency.





















We're going to design one garment each, and then produce a small number ourselves. So they're going to be limited edition! The garments will be sold in some of the stores around Sweden, but, there will images of the designs displayed in all 55 Sister stores.. The press show is on the 15th of April, so it's all happening rather soon!

Some of the other designers..

Milk & Champagne, my favourite mix!


Elin was going to host a ghetto party later that evening, hence these amazing colours! She works as a design assistant at JC, which is where her rings are from. After we finished I went straight there and bougth myself the wolf ring! (Which you can't see properly in this pic, but I'll show you soon!)


I don't think I'll be getting much sleep in the next couple of months, with this, school work and the fashion show I'm planning with my friends. But it's excessively exciting all the same, so all definitely worth it!


London Fashion Week, Day 1

My camera kept overexposing the pictures from the catwalks, so I don't really have many pictures of the garments that were shown, haha.. Sooo, here are some pictures of the surroundings instead!

Jordanna & Rena were also there.

Fashion week invites



I was very pleased to find these London fashion week invites in my mailbox this morning! But, since I'm going to Stockholm this weekend I can't go to all of them.. I come back to London on Sunday, but I won't make it to Charlie Le Mindu's show. If my flight arrived half an hour earlier I would.. It's heartbreaking! I love love love him!

And YES, my hair is yellow now!

I just had to release my inner Bart Simpson..



Sisters Academy Winner


Yay!! I'm one of the winners of the Sisters Academy competition! Sisters is a Swedish fashion label and I will design a part of a special collection for them. So this weekend I'm going to Stockholm to meet up with the people I'm going to collaborate with.. I applied for the competition trough facebook, and all the judges have ever seen from me is the picture above, which is both fun and scary. Don't really know what they are expecting from me! I'm going there tomorrow, and I'll keep you updated both about the competition and how I cope with all the snow and the minus degrees in Stockholm!
