Olanic during London Fashion Week

Friday, 19 September 2008

Sooooo proud of our Niki! She hadn't really planned to show during LFW, but Vauxhall Fashion Scout offered her the chance to show on their catwalk, so our darling jumped at the occasion.

And there was no stress whatsoever. No first time jitters, no flaws, no weirdness. Just one spot-on show full of quirky, wearable pieces. Half way through the show we realised how big and varied the collection actually was. There were sweet jersey pieces in blue and peachy pink prints for the beach, 50s-rockabilly frocks in sky blue for town, some surprisingly polished numbers in petrol and black, and rockstar-style skinny trousers and cropped jackets in red/black. My favourites were probably the Macintosh coat with a huge bow on the back (done with the actual Macintosh people) and the gorgeous beige cocktail dress with a sequined bustier for next summer's wedding season.
