Mattijs Van Bergen, our favourite LFW show.























This was the first show we went to see at LFW and it was by far the best, who ever said you have to save the best till last is wrong in this case!
Shades of electric blue, peach, beige, coral and grey made this colelction so wearable yet aspirational. Mattijs designs clothes that women long to wear.
The shapes were both fluid and structured, accessorised with beautiful metallic copper and gold oversized necklaces and waist clinching belts.
Our favourite piece has to be the stunning metallic grey mac- we are putting our orders in now... form an orderly queue ladies.

Vivienne Westwood-What a kodak moment!


Last night, whist at the 'A Child of the Jago' Fashion show in London's East end I bumped into the icon that is Vivienne Westwood.

Since the show was actually for her son Ben Westwood's new menswear line she spoke for a few minutes at the start on Climate Change, how it's affecting all of us as well as how we can all help to save our beautiful Rainforest.

Not only is she a wonderous talent and icon in the fashion industry but spends most of her time focussing the causes she stands for so strongly. Ms Westwood, you are a true legend!
More pictures to follow from the incredible fashion show theatre style extravaganza...

London Fashion Week-Somerset House. Basso And Brooke's Show September 09-What a beautiful kaleidoscope of colour.

After our blog report on Day 1 of LFW where we saluted the ladies in red, we visitied the exhibitions at Somerset House yesterday and just so happened to bump into them again!

Dressed to match with their Leopard shoppers, they are definitely a pair who stood out from the crowd.
