London Fashion week – My Favourite show
Bora Aksu
It’s that time of year again I fly in from Nepal (coming in next blog) straight into London Fashion Week. Where People Tree presents its AW08 collection at Estethica.
My favourite show was Bora Aksu’s AW08 collection so feminine and sexy – we want it all. Love it! (he’s designing for People Tree too) – so watch out world. These are some of our favourite pieces from the Bora Aksu show.
London Fashion Week
New trends from the capital of the world
Vivienne Westwood is back in London and the capital feels rejuvenated at the thrill of it. London is not only the hot bed of creativity but also new trends like Fair Trade and ethical fashion.
We discuss the value of ‘Estethica' the ethical and Fair Trade fashion section of London Fashion week – being in Paris, New York and Milan as well. As the mainstream designers dabble in eco, it would be useful to profile the pioneers in eco to keep up the momentum globally. Making it easy for press and buyers to find eco brands internationally could speed up the movement towards sustainability in fashion
Revellers at Sam Ubhi party
Being more into the issues than ‘fashion’ per se. I am a little out of my comfort zone surrounded by immaculately groomed beauties age 20 wearing not much and heels and dancers like these. I’ve just got in from Nepal, a country where there is little access to clean water, electricity and kerosene fuel rationing is a way of life - you need your bodily hair and warm clothes.
I dance and drink too much at jewellery designer Sam Ubhi’s party and stagger home – the transition from Nepal to London Fashion Week is just too much. But we get some great orders at London Fashion Week – yeah!
