LONDON FASHION WEEK DIARY: DAY 4

07:00 – Wake up bright and early, it may be the last day of London Fashion Week but we have a jam-packed schedule today – lots of exciting shows on the agenda!

07:30 – In celebration of the first show of the morning – Mary Katrantzou – I decide to wear my favorite Mary Katrantzou printed silk shirt dress and team it with a pair of glitter-sprayed Miu Miu wedges.

09:00 – Show time. Mary’s fall collection exceeds all of our expectations. Sculptural silhouettes, exquisite embroidery and playful prints. Divine!

11:00 – Zoom over to the Anya Hindmarch and are all instantly intrigued by the logo-stamped cardboard boxes piled high in the reception room…

Roll up, roll up – it’s the Anya magic show!

Look! On our seats there are cute boxes of Anya ‘Quality Treat’ chocolates – which are said to have inspired her fall collection. Don’t mind if we do…

Just like a candy factory – we see glitter-sprayed totes, metallic carryalls and bejeweled pumps circulate on a fashion conveyor belt. Magic!

Here’s a close up of the fashion conveyor belt (…and some serious arm candy too.)

12:00 – Step on it driver! The Roksanda Illincic show is just about to start…

12:15 – Make it to Roksanda in the nick of time. It all feels very glamorous with the diamond chandeliers!

Collection gets a huge round of applause – we loved the sports-luxe puffa jackets, major trend for fall 2012 (you heard it here first).

13:00 – Hop in black cab to Somerset House for quick lunch and some blogging at delicious courtyard café Fernandez & Wells.

14:00 – On the road again! Back down to South West London for the Meadham Kirchhoff show…

Get distracted by a fabulous Miu Miu bag on arrival.

Inside the show venue, team NET-A-PORTER get very excited upon seeing the multi-colored dance-floor – Meadham Kirchhoff are having a party!

There’s disco lights, metallic streamers and giant sequin stars on the runway too…Oh my!

Meadham Kirchhoff

Everyone loves a candy treat on their seat…

Spotted on the front row: his and hers studded Christian Louboutin sneakers. Love.

Abba’s ‘Dancing Queen’ plays out for the show finale. Everyone starts clapping and singing. Such fun.

16:00 – Hot young talent Aminaka Wilmont is the last show of the day. Strong and sultry collection –the design duo’s signature prints are more muted and pared-back for fall. Make a mental note to pick up one of the sharp-cut leather jackets next season.

18:00 – Home sweet home for some well-deserved fashion week rest. Next stop, Milan!
