F**k the fashion

London Fashion Week is coming to an end, and to sort of celebrate this, Your Mum's House is throwing a huge party! Of course, me and Michelle are going! There will be free drinks, Le Corps Mince de Françoise will be performing and vogue's in house nail girls will do people's nails for free! I am seriously looking forward to tonight.

The party is called "Fuck the fashion", and clearly tells you to ignore the trends and just dress like you don't care or something, but I am still worrying about what to wear tonight...

Pure report - Monday

Ok, so I went to Pure today. The event consisted of two different exhibitions - Pure London and Pure Spirit. It was very big and a lot to take in. I walked around (a lot) looking at the exhibitions and I saw two fashion shows.


I really hate to do this, but you will have to see the rest of the pictures in my personal blog. For some reason, I can only upload one single picture in this post... I will look in to this.

You can find the rest of the pictures on my blog here

Fashion ahead!

I can't other than agree with Michelle when she's saying that Pure London will be exciting! Though, since I registered pretty late (late, as in approx. five minutes ago), I will pick up my badge when I get there.

But Pure London is not the only exciting thing that is happening next week! On saturday, me and Michelle are going to an event called Wearable Art. There is going to be a fashion show and a party aferwards.

I am equally excited about both of these events and it feels like we have a good week ahead of us!

Backstage

Me and Laurea worked backstage as dressers last year at the AIU Fall Fashion Show 2010. After watching this film, we both thought that some designs were very creative. Working backstage as dressers was fun, but a lot of work and a stressful environment. We both hope that maybe next year we will work backstage at London Fashion Week.

Exclusive interview!

Since I'm sure our readers would like to know a little bit more about the ones behind this blog, I, Laurea, decided to try to get an interview with Michelle, so that you readers could get to know her. Luckily, I managed to get an interview with her, even though there is so many others waiting in line. She wanted to be there for you, dear readers.

She was very casual when I met her for the interview, and gladly let me in to her beautifully decorated room. I cannot help but notice that her roomate also have an excellent taste in decorating. (The fact that I'm her roommate does not colour this interview at all!) They have quite different styles, but has managed to combine these styles to give the room a very nice feel. Michelle has her laptop on her bed, but is politely ignoring several messages to answer my questions.

Ok, let's start with an easy one: Why did you decide to come to London?
- London is one of the biggest fashion capitals of the world, so studying fashion in London has long been my dream.

Nice, so what do you think of your stay in London, so far?
- It's been an amazing experience, I really love London! I love, the smell, the people and I love that it is so big!

Have you tried fish and ships?
- Yes, I've tried it once. I actually like the crispy taste of the fish and I can't get enough of the greasy chips!

What do you miss the most about Sweden?
- I miss my family and my friends very much. And I also miss the marabou chocolate and the swedish chips, because they are not the same here.

As this is a fashion blog, I'm sure that our readers would like to know something about your style. Is there any kind of garment that is a 'must have' in your wardrobe?
- Hm, I think I have to check my wardrobe! No, I'm kidding. I like things that I can use both in my everyday life and when I'm going out. I have a black dress that I really like. It brings out my curves.

What is most likely to find in your handbag?
- My afro comb, my calender, a lot of receipts that I haven't thrown away, my camera, hand lotion... Besides from that it is mostly the usual stuff like keys and money.

Now, over to some more personal stuff. Do you have a boyfriend?
- Oh, that's too personal! Michelle sais mysteriously.

Oh, ok. I bet our readers will be very disappointed, but well well. Do you have some embarrasing things to share? Do you have any weird habits?
- Hahahah! Oh, do I really want to share that? Well, I have one habit from when I was younger. Every time I step on a manhole cover i pat myself on the back three times so that I wont get bad luck.

Thank you for letting me interview you! Now, let's just finish with two quick lists:

3 things you love:
  • Fashion!
  • Friends and family.
  • Twix. I could live the rest of my life, eating nothing but twix!
3 things you hate:

  • To be honest, I hate doing the dishes!
  • Spiders. Yuck!
  • Running

Presenting our Market Sector 2morrow

Been missing us? Yes? Well thought so...

We have been busy this weekend, well we both have been spending time with our beautiful families, but now we are back on track. Tomorrow we are presenting our group project which is "All Saints". Its a British clothing brand, which is more of a quality brand. Their clothes are very british, more of technological and antique feeling. Their target costumers are people who can pay more money for quality. We like their clothes its very, raw and comfortable looking. Anyways, lets see how the presentation goes!!
