This show was such a pleasure to work on. I think I’ve been walking around with a smile on my face for the past few weeks as I just love Inbar’s collection. Inbar is really a truly creative person and as her stylist I want to do the best job possible. We had wonderful models and the same creative team as last season: Lan Nguyen did the make up and Jan Przemyk headed the team from Toni and Guy. There is something very special about working with the same team. Inbar’s show was the closing show at Vauxhall Fashion Scout!
Jan had to spend quite a bit of time preparing the hair before the show – but it looked great in the end! For more information about the look and feel of the hair visit Toni&Guy.
The shoes are from the amazing Walter Steiger and they work perfectly with this collection! Walter Steiger designs his shoes in Italy with meticulous detail; I love all the heels and he does some wicked boots!
The finale dress was amazing – I saw this last dress being made – it was so intricate and so detailed. I’ll show you some full length images once I’ve received them.

I took these picture back stage on the television set. There’s a small screen backstage to watch the timings of the models on the runaway.

Jacob Kimmie has done his first pre-collection. In London I’ve come to expect creativity and larger than life images on the catwalk. London doesn’t appear to be about wearability. So Jacob Kimmie, at the request of his clients for more wearable clothing is working on a commercial collection.
Like many designers Kimmie is experiencing a trend towards the bespoke service and he’s designing more hand crafted pieces and tailored garments for private clients.
The collection is romantic feminine tailoring. The base colours of chocolate, mink and steel are set against tangerine, yellow and turquoise.

I went to the opening preview of The Viktor & Rolf exhibition at the Barbican. It was quite amazing! I love the doll’s house – I think every girl loves a doll’s house. I had so many dolls when I was little, and my mum would make matching clothes for me and my dolls. I never had my own doll’s house and was jealous of one girl who had a German doll house. 
Viktor & Rolf’s doll house is 6m-high with three floors, endless rooms and it feels very luxurious and empty at the same time. There are 55 porcelain dolls living in the house. The dolls are only 2 feet high, with human hair and are made by hand by master craftsman Mr. B. Terrie. Each doll is designed & styled after the model who originally wore the outfit and the dolls have the same make-up that was worn in the catwalk show. The dresses are a true replica – everything is made to scale and even the original leather is used to make the shoes.
I keep thinking of Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House and everything that Nora felt. Dolls can be so beautiful but have a very scary side to them especially the porcelain doll. One of exhibits had a doll surrounded by broken porcelain. In Viktor and Rolf’s work there is lots of dark humour, and there is a lot of it in the way the models are displayed as porcelain dolls. It’s eerie and adorable at the same time!
Of course an exhibition like this attracts fabulous people. I spotted super stylish Roisin Murphy. She’s a true fashionista and a wonderful singer!
…and one of my favourite people: Gok Wan!

The Royal Collage of Art was transformed for it’s MA fashion show.
It’s really important to see London’s new talent. At the RCA there are 32 postgraduate students in menswear, womenswear, knitwear, accessories, footwear and millinery who are showcasing their garments both on the catwalk and in a static exhibition. I didn’t get see any other shows this week as I’d been quite busy shooting so it was good to see at least one show. The life of a designer is not as glamorous as it looks. It’s highly competitive and in a couple of minutes you’ve been judged on your life’s work – it’s quite brutal but I’m not sure that there’s a better process.

I love Ann Demeulemeester’s menswear. Demeulemeester is part of the group of young designers who emerged from Belgium during the 1980s. She studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp and launched her line in 1985.
These images are from her Spring Summer 2008 collection and it’s very rock’n'roll. All of her clothes have such an edge and they are very wearable!
