attracts a distinctly more adventurous

While the editors sat amongst Kate Moss Cheap Chanel Walletand Alexa Chung on the Mulberry front row, we made the most of an opportunity to look out for trends and styling inspiration from the bloggers and photographers on the streets. Day Five is owned by London’s cool designers so it attracts a distinctly more adventurous and quirky crowd…

Monday was the day of the British heavyweights. But with Burberry, Christopher Kane and Erdem all ticked off, it’s the turn of the young Brit club. Thomas Tait, Simone Rocha and Meadham Kirchhoff are the names jumping out of today’s schedule. We can’t wait see what they have in store for spring summer 13…Shoes are always a talking point amongst us assistants. Running across town on public transport means we’ve worn flats all week and have spotted some great styles. But with so many beautiful heels on the feet of editors, we can’t help but feel envious…

Nasir Mazhar is never one to show his collection in an ordinary way. Today he chose to set up a hair salon within the Topshop venue’s café, showing off selection of hats (and underwear) while two MC’s Chanel Wallet Womenbattled it out.And so the time has come. One of the most eagerly awaited shows of the season: Meadham Kirchhoff. The question always is: what will they do next? They’ve had primary school ballerinas, can can girls, witch-craft and disco queens. The answer for spring/summer 13 is beautifully, embellished extravagance: Minnie Mouse-emblazoned, cake-eating models to swash-buckling knee high boots and baroque ruffles. Sheer joy and delight fills the show space.

After the Ashish show, we take a quick tour of Somerset House. It’s a beautiful venue, overlooking the river and we probably won’t be back again until February…One of the last shows of the day is sequin-loving Ashish. This season he’s stripped back the labels aesthetic for a 90s, denim clad, Reebook wearing tomboy. We loved it. And want/need/must-own those glitter ankle socks, in every colour.

The day - and week - ends with a well-deserved cocktail (lychee vodka, in case you were wondering) where we finally get to reflect on everything we’ve seen. From the bonkers to the enigmatically beautiful, it’s been a week that has further cemented London’s status on the chanel outlet onlineinternational fashion calendar. And we’ve loved every minute of it.
