This summer, whilst in London I made a point of visiting as many top fashion events as I could, to get inspiration and ideas to bring back to Panama to take our Glamavida events to another level.
Amongst the events I visited, one of the best was London Fashion Weekend in Somerset House.
This event run by the British Fashion Council is a unique event showcasing top fashion brands, independent designers and boutiques and being in London it is of course considered to be at the forefront of fashion and THE place to shop for something unique.
Highlights included:
Vintage
Vodafone London Fashion Weekend and Wayne Hemingway joined forces to create a truly exceptional area. With live music, vintage concierge, vintage photo booths, dressing up and carefully selected vintage dealers. If you have always wanted to take the plunge into vintage but never had the chance then this was your perfect opportunity.
The Shoe Studio
With shoe designers such as Atalanta Weller, David Wyatt, Finsk, French Sole, Michael Lewis and Rosemary Twang, you were in for a real treat this season. I wanted to buy so many shoes but couldn’t fit them in my suitcase back to Panama!
Boutique Street
This year was the launch of ‘Boutique Street’ – a fab new hub of London’s hottest boutiques including KJ’s Laundry, Pipa, Infusion, Winter Kate & House of Harlow boutique plus many more. Designers sold in this area included American Retro, Alice & Olivia, Hudson, Folk, Humanoid, Rebecca Taylor & Tucker.
Something for the boys
This year boyfriends and husbands were encouraged to come, not only to buy their women lots of treats and enjoy a lunch on the terrace, but there was also some dedicated men’s designers at the event including DKNY Jeans, Elizabeth Lau, Bolongaro Trevor and Designer Studio Mens… so he can keep himself busy while you shop and get pampered :)
The Weekend Boutique
In association with The Fashion Retail Academy, this year they launched The Weekend Boutique. Here you could shop for designer bargains from amazing British designers such as Holly Fulton, Body AMR, Liz Black and Louise Dalton.
The Weekend Retreat
After I had shopped till I dropped, visited the catwalk and sipped champagne in the VIP Chambord area, I made my way over to The Retreat and booked myself in for a mani/pedi, a brow shape and a relaxing massage to totally top off my day of fashion perfection!
Watch out for some great ideas straight from London to be incorporated into our next Glamavida on December 14th. More information coming soon or email me leanne@glamavida.com
