Tradition

Maybe I'm a sucker for a good looking guy in a sharp suit, and yes,
maybe I sway too towards outfits that say something a little different
with a vintage twist.... When I spotted West End actor Olivier Thornton
at menswear day during London Fashion Week, I just had to take his
photo. You dear readers deserve to see a, sadly all too uncommon,
example of a traditional English gent who understands and appreciates
great British design.

Mudpie & MOKSPACE for LFW

Last week Mudpie hosted an exclusive networking event in celebration
of London Fashion Week to launch their new blog, the Trend Journal
along with their latest seasonal products. Held at MOKSPACE,
London’s newest boutique gallery in the stunning surrounds of the
British Museum, guests were invited to view Mudpie’s products and
enjoy drinks from sponsors Saint and Wickham Vineyards.

As well discovering MOKSPACE’s latest collection of Korean
photography, guests were treated to goodie bags with the top OPI
nail varnish shades, as used by chief technicians at LFW this week,
every girl’s essential Lipcote and Mudpie’s popular AW 12/13 trend
magazine. One lucky guest even won the exclusive prize of a spa day
at the Norton Park Hotel in Winchester.

The event saw a great response, with the British fashion industry out
in force to peruse Mudpie's latest publications. Designers, buyers
and press collectively paused for breath during a jam packed fashion
week schedule, also taking in a SS 13 trend presentation and a spot
of informal networking.



Myself and Mudpie would like to thank our sponsors of the event,
Wickham Vineyards, Saint and supporters OPI Nails, Lipcote and
Norton Park Q Hotels, Winchester.

LFW Day Three & Four - Visual Diary

A little delayed, but I'm hoping you're not bored of London Fashion
Week coverage just yet? Here's a few visual treats from Day Three
and Four including more wears of the stunning Dannijo Bea necklace,
lent to me by the lovely folk at Wish Want Wear, incidentally, go
check out my LFW highlights over on their blog too...

As you may well know, myself and the MPDClick team were in town
to cover the shows, so be sure to hop on over to our NEW blog, the
Trend Journal for full reviews. I've also been wittering on about some
more of my favourite collections for OliviaPalermo.com, do make sure
you treat yourself by heading over there too!

Day Three began with a bright but casual weekend outfit for me*; the
sixties London inspired Twenty8Twelve presentation; what Soph wore
(check out those boots!); a quick scoot round the exhibitions at
Somerset House, stopping to drool over Erickson Beamon and Buba;
a few looks from around the cobbles; catching lunch; what Coco and I
wore on Day Four; the stunning Far Eastern influenced Osman show;
lastly, refuelling.

*{I'm wearing: Day Three: Kit & Pearl bobble hat, Topshop tie dye scarf, vintage 
Burberry trench courtesy of Hepwrights, Cheap Monday jeans, Topshop boots, 
Dannijo Bea necklace. Day Four: Topshop blazer & scarf, ASOS check pencil 
skirt, Karen Millen turtle neck, New Look boots.}

LFW Highlight: Moschino Cheap & Chic

As one of the most eagerly awaited shows on this season’s London
Fashion Week schedule, Moschino’s first showing of their Cheap
& Chic line in the British capital has been surrounded by hype.
So why did the Italian fashion house consider the move? Arguably,
a kitsch, kooky offering should feel at home in a city that many fashion
folk mirror such a theme? .... READ MY FULL REVIEW ON THE
