London Fashion Week: Day 2
Woke up this morning to the sound of rain pounding on the window. Slept in and then headed to Somerset House while feebishly attempting to juggle a huge clutch bag, coffee, umbrella, and oyster card. Arrived to find the photogs were out in monumental force: Garance Dore, the Sartorialist, Altamira, Jak & Jil, Vanessa Jackman, Street Peeper… ‘why hello, is it me you’re looking for?’ I asked as I sauntered past flipping my hair. Highlights of the day included being photographed by Vanessa (who I love), meeting the lovely girl behind State of Sunday, and being introduced to Mary Katrantzou’s mother by Matthew (I said, ‘you must be so proud’… uh, duh). Spent most of the day getting soaked out in the courtyard (though I did go to the J. JS Lee and John Rocha show – photos below) and topped it all off by having a big burger and vanilla milkshake at Byrons for dinner.
The Buzz
12:30 – J. JS Lee
Seriously, it’s a wee bit too late for extensive amounts of words but let’s just say that J. JS Lee was good… and has got me trying to figure out how I can attach a jacket to the front of my shirt, while searching ebay for long grey dresses and strands of pearls.
[Gallery not found]3:15 – John Rocha
Abbey Lee Kershaw, who didn’t walk a single show in NY, opened and closed the John Rocha show. Insanely beautiful. The same goes for the entire collection. The slightly sheer textured details on the black dresses were some of my favourite details.

I CANNOT BELIEVE I MISSED OUT ON J JS LEE.
Hey you, retard face alert no.25!
Love the range of coverage Jen, I need to venture into the caves of exhibition, where are those shoes from!!?

Shoes were used in Craig Lawrence show…. red leather dress was Clemency London, bracelets Holly Fulton, and knit dresses by Ionnis Dimitrousis. Really should have just said so in the post. Oops.
p.s. might be a retarded face but it looks so atmospheric and London and I’m sad to be leaving on the 4th so threw it into the mix. see you in six hours. ahhhhh.
oh wow… i will have to come back later to check out all the greatness in detail (since i’m already at work). already in love with john rocha’s collection, don’t understand why he’s still more of hidden treasure – at least on international level.
I gotta tell you. Of all the blogs I’ve seen that do a fashion week diary, yours is number one in my book. Everything is well organized and to the point. I love that picture of Kit with the BIG smile!
J JS Lee was so incredible! I love all these pictures Jen, I’m so happy I can catch up on fashion week through yours, Shini’s and Kits vivid photos. xx
OMG these are amazing photos! I really love those dresses form the John Rocha collection..the details are stunning! I so wish I could’ve been there ..
