edgy underwear label Marlies Dekkers hosted last night's party at Le Baron which drew a reasonable crowd of celebs. see if you can spot them all.
today is the first day of paris fashion week and from tomorrow you will be able to see all about who wore what on glamcanyon. until then, here's 2 folks from paris who hung out in in the streets of east london these past days.
...tight(s) on the bottom.
look who i ran into while vintage-shopping in shoreditch - it's those dancing days - coolest girl-band evurrr. so cool in fact that i used their fun-song 'dischoe' for my sony rolly video a few months ago. they're playing tomorrow at camden barfly - y'all should go!
and how lovely they looked...
i'll be stalking the prettiest dressed men of paris fashion week from the 26th for canadian men's magazine TORO
on se verra a paris! xx
greek london-based designer ioannis dimitrousis has impressed the pants off me with his a/w 08 collection so i was exited to see what he'd come up with for spring/summer 09.
click on the slideshow to breeze through some of the photos i took at the show.
Finally i went to see the Afshin Feiz show and since the choice was either sitting in the last row (i got there late) or getting cozy with the other photographers at the end of the runway, i went for the last option and enjoyed a perfect view.

later today i went to a show at on/off in which Oli presented up and coming designers alexander koutny, mark fast and rozalb de mura. now Oli can invite me to any party the like because they have proven their generosity by putting this fabulous PPQ fusion purse into the goody bag. yey!
some randomly selected front-rowers... (ok, maybe not entirely randomly)

stumbling out of the tube and into the tent i ran into this lady who was racing between shows. love the dress.
after the morning shows we headed for the opening of this shop which -hurrah!- did not only offer freeflowing champagne, they also had a lovely buffet, just right for the fashion-hungry. Kokon tu Zai sell designer labels such as Vivienne Westwood, PPQ, Gareth Pugh and many others.
here i found her:
i had hardly left the justin smith show when somebody waved me into the Kaviar Gauche one, a fashion label from germany that had made waves during berlin fashion week. i was a little dissapointed with the selection of models but the clothes were beautiful and had the romance factor of a jane austen novel.
click on the slideshow for a few glimpses from the second row.
so today was my first day at london fashion week after some half-hearted partying around last night. with my alarm set on 7 am i was meant to photograph the backstage of the justin smith show which was kinda fun, despite the early morning hour. justin makes wonderful hats of buttons, feathers and plastic and puts them on performers (and not models).
click on the slideshow below to check out the backstage photos as well as pictures of the fashion show.
..a beautiful visitor.
ps: i know, i know it's fashion week in london. i did notice. i will go. eventually.
funny funny funny when 2 out of 5 girls i photographed in 5 days happen to be fellow street fashion bloggers! i swear they both were selected perfectly randomly and i knew of neither who there were before i popped the question if i could take their photo. looking at those two i have to say i'm in excellent company.
this is the lovely Saga from reykjaviklooks.blogspot.com who just moved to london for a degree in fashion photography. kind of an ideal subject for her since she obviously understands a lot about fashion and, take my word for it, photography.
another shining star on the street fashion blogging sky is Lotta here from youcatwalk.com. she's no longer an active blogger for her new jobs is taking up the better part of her time and motivation.
disco blood bath last night at VISIONS could have had better music (as in much better music) but the crowd was pretty cool and since last night east london was as dead as britney spears's career it was by far our best bet. click on the photo to see folks and funs.
NUKE THEM ALL last saturday happened in a run-down warehouse space in hackney wick which reminded me a lot of berlin. i've always had a soft spot for this night and taking it to this spot was definately a winning idea. good times.
