Sometimes it’s easy to forget that fashion is actually a business. It’s fun, it’s something we experience, something we wear - but it is a business and fashion people know how to celebrate! Drapers celebrated the 20th Anniversary of the Drapers Awards in association with Vente-privee, and they celebrated in style! The event was beautiful - it took place at One Marylebone, formally the Holy Trinity Church, which was built in 1826-28. There were lots of pink cocktails and canapes to be had. The picture is of the lovely Bunty Stokes of Vente Privee speaking at the event (I love that she looks like a rock star with the lighting).
The Drapers Awards celebrates Fashion Excellence and being shortlisted or winning an award is very prestigious for a brand. The deadline to enter is August 6th.

I’m part of an event tomorrow about E-Commerce Excellence at The Fashion and Textile Museum with Leon Baily Green. We will be sharing tips and ideas to help make the most of e-commerce.
Leon and I sat on a panel together for the Drapers Fashion Summit, so I’m looking forward to seeing him tomorrow. Leon has experience in digital media, marketing, fashion and retail. He’s a consultant to numerous companies operating in the online fashion sector. He has assisted online fashion businesses with marketing, content, buying and recruitment strategies, as well as overall business analyses.

I was part of a panel at the Drapers Fashion Summit - The Power of the Style Press, with Colin McDowell, Founder & Creative Director of Fashion Fringe, Leon Bailey-Green, online marketing specialist, Courtney Blackman, fashion PR and Lucy Wood of Look magazine and Loretta Roberts (who organizes the Summit) was chairing the panel.
It’s always interesting when people start talking about print versus online media. Somehow people think one will rule out the other. It’s the same fear that retailers and manufactures first had ten years ago about selling online. There were afraid it would ruin their brick and mortar shops, not enhance it. They didn’t realize they could becoming something we take for granted today - multi-channel retailers. The same goes for online magazines. Most print magazines have an online component that attracts a different readership and allows their advertisers a package deal of print and online. As a fashion stylist both print work and online work are very important to me work-wise, and of course as a stylist who blogs I love online media. I can’t imagine one without the other!

I met the legendary Barbara Hulanicki, creator of Biba! How cool is that?
The Drapers Fashion Summit’s first day was very exciting - in addition to the Barbara Hulanicki’s on-stage interview there was another panel with Lulu Guinness, Betty Jackson and Anne Tyrrell, and today we’re going to see Diane von Furstenberg and Harold Tillman interviewed by Hilary Alexander - how many fashion icons can you have at one event?
To close the first day I styled a fashion presentation with Fashion Scout International. The clothes were from a lot of different sources - all either speaking at the event or on the board of Drapers: from Diane Von Furstenberg and Jaeger to Debenhams, Warehouse, New Look, Matches, Ghost, Reiss, and quite a few more brands. It’s always a challenge to find the best order of the clothes for a fashion show but it’s even more difficult when they all belong to different designers - you want to show each brand at it’s best and be as true to the brand as you can while bringing them all together to create a Drapers event. I had so many great pieces to choose from. It was actually the first time the Drapers Fashion Summit did a show and of course it was a great way to celebrate a great day of fashion talks!
…and today I’m speaking too - I’m on the panel about "The Power of the Style Press" - should be fun!

I was invited to attend a cocktail party for the Fashion Summit. It was like the who’s who of the fashion world but most importantly I got to know one of my favourite fashion bloggers a little bit better, Disney Roller Girl. She’s so cool, so down to earth and just fun to hang out with!
