Fabulous - Fashion - Faux Pas

London Fashion Week ended on 16th February having showcased some of the world's most fêted designers. During the course of LFW, fashion editorix(es) scrutinized, frowned on, and gave their unanimous nods of approval to the creative talents of fashion heavyweights - Marc Jacobs, Nicole Farhi, Christopher Kane and 'It' designer of the moment, Giles Deacon, amongst many others.

Did you know fashion reports are quite a hoot? To read, that is. I found that out when I started surfing the web on LFW, having had my interest piqued by the large marquee setup outside the Natural History Museum.

After religiously surfing the Net for hmmm... 2 days, I'm proud to announce that I can do an A~Z listing of fashion brands or designers, tell you Anna Wintour (editor-in-chief at Vogue) is THE Miranda Priestly, Posh favours designs by Robert Cavalli, and the hottest hair trend to sweep London city is the elfin platinum look. And oh, I can spell M-A-N-O-L-O B-L-A-H-N-I-K at last! There!

But 'label dropping' is not my thing. Neither am I fascinated by intricacies on a garment, the composite of colours, or the ingenious use of material. I'm more interested to know who wore what where, who had frontrow seats, who's the belle de jour/celebrity muse for say, Lagerfeld, or what the scoop is on the 'size zero' issue. Oh, and did you know Alexander McQueen married his documentary filmmaker partner on a yacht off Ibiza, and Kate Moss was their bridesmaid?

I remain, and probably always will be - a tabloid junkie.

Anyway, back to fashion, or more explicitly, runway fashion. I gawped at some of the 'designs' that made it to the catwalk.

Oversized Bearskin
(palace guards wear them on their heads, skinny models wear them to keep warm )

Eyelash coat
(prefer them curled? Use Volume Shocking Mascara by L'Oreal)

The 'barb-wire' headpiece
Looking at the world through 'obstacled' eyes

Danielle, it seems, is quite the fashionista. She sported a new fashion trend by putting this newfangled 'hat' on. And guess what, Prada had the same idea for their Fall collection 2007/08!

Tea cozy caps... they're all the rage this coming Fall!

Absolutely fabulous, dahh-ling!
