LLG Video: My London Fashion Week wardrobe

November 1, 2011 Fashion Weeks

I had so many hits & queries two seasons ago when I posted a quick video of what I wore at LFW, that I thought I’d do one again this season. Although looking back at the film now, it seems to show nothing so much as my complete lack of wardrobe organisation — from leaving […]

Part 3: Through the Looking Glass: The Horror of the Milan Shows…From a publicist’s perspective

October 4, 2011 Fashion Weeks

9. Hoorah, time for bed. You will definitely be in a nice hotel, maybe not all that nice but certainly with a nice little basket of toiletries. If you are super unlucky you will be in a very grand hotel, at which point you will discover that your client/boss thinks it’s ok for you to […]

My London Fashion Week Photo Diary in British Harper’s Bazaar

October 2, 2011 Fashion Weeks

I completely forgot to mention that I contributed a  London Fashion Week photo diary to October Harper’s Bazaar UK. It’s part of an advertorial for Filofax, which runs over six pages, showing the AW11 LFW diaries of Alice Temperley, Jo Glynn-Smith  — Harper’s Bazaar’s lovely Executive Fashion Editor, and myself. It’s the first time my […]

Part Two: Through the Looking Glass: The Horror of the Milan Shows…. From a publicist’s perspective

September 30, 2011 Fashion Weeks

5. Lunch? Hahhahahaha. This will be crappy espresso from a machine and special Italian sandwiches (mystery meat on dry white, no crusts) eaten during the Endless Meeting which will make you wonder why Italy has such a reputation for great food. There may be mysterious dried up pastries too. Do some phone call stalking of […]

Through the Looking Glass: The Horror of the Milan Shows…. From a publicist’s perspective

September 28, 2011 Fashion Weeks

When I first published my series of posts about the reality behind Milan Fashion Week back in 2009, it prompted a huge response from my friends in the industry, including an email from an (ex) fashion PR that had me hooting with laughter — and wincing with recognition. It was so good, so spot-on, that […]

LLG Fashion: What it’s Really Like to Attend the Milan Shows. Part Four

September 26, 2011 Fashion Weeks

Did I mention the waiting? The endless waiting for shows to start? And how much everyone bar the newspapers & websites who need continuous streams of online-friendly copy, LOATHE celebrities at fashion shows? They are always late and hold up the shows, in turn making editors late for their next appointments. (Milan is WORK: we […]

LLG Fashion: What it’s Really Like to Attend the Milan Shows. Part Three

September 26, 2011 Fashion Weeks

Milan is all about advertising. Editors covering the shows make no bones about the fact that they are there to ‘support’ the companies who spend hundreds of thousands of dollars in their publications each year. Believe me, there is no other justification for sitting through many of the shows with their, hmm, directional take on […]

LLG Fashion: What it’s really like attending the shows in Milan Part Two

September 24, 2011 Fashion Weeks

(Fashion Show Nutrition) An average day in Milan starts around 6am for writing, checking email & getting ready, but you can easily start an hour before that if you are an American magazine diva with über grooming standards, (& if you are Anna Wintour you will be having your hair & makeup done professionally), followed […]

Dogsitting in the Country

September 24, 2011 Fashion Weeks

I’ve hopped it to Northamptonshire for the weekend to dogsit for my mother. After the relentless 15hrs+ days of London Fashion Week, I always try to get away to recharge. Last September I holed up at the Sofitel St James for the weekend, ate pizza, edited photos, wrote thank you letters. In February, I cancelled […]

LLG Fashion: What it’s really like attending the shows in Milan

September 22, 2011 Fashion Weeks

Back at the beginning of 2009 I ran a series of posts about my experiences attending the collections for magazines. Given that my peers have just tripped off to Milan for part two of the month long fashion circus, I thought it might be timely to re-visit them. I’ve polished the posts up a bit, […]
