*click here to see pics from Sep 2009*
Ok this time I wasn’t too adventurous and didn’t take many photos around Somerset House, what more people (unlike last year). The photos in this post aren’t too exciting but I wanted to publish this anyway for my records.
Somerset House is a beautiful place
And during Fashion Week, it gets inundated with scores of beautiful people. Mostly wearing also beautiful shoes.. although I just can’t understand running around the whole day in pain-inducing footwear. I’m much more practical these days. Try to be anyway 😉
Most of these pics were taken in the evening when the crowd had tapered down
Entrance (ramp) to the BFC Showspace
This is where people would queue for shows held at this venue
Met Kristabel there on one of the days
Top Kookai
Pants Topshop
Shoes vintage (Etsy)
Scarf vintage
Think I need to start exercising/stop eating so much
I can see now that I’m bigger than my normal size >.< 
Jazmine + Kb + my bag
I just love this photo cos of Jazmine’s totally SLY-looking face HA ha ha
Also met Winnie for the first time but unfortunately we haven’t got a photo together
Mac + Toni&Guy in the press lounge
Apparently you can book appointments to get your face/hair done
But I couldn’t be bothered hehe
This wall was what you’d see as you entered the courtyard through the Strand
Nature vs Fashion
On the last day that the womenswear exhibitions were on
I made my way to Somerset House again with the intention of looking at whatever I hadn’t seen earlier
Which was mainly the Topshop NEWGEN section, accessible via the terrace (facing Embankment)
But as I stood outside the entrance to the tent
I looked up at the sky.. it was clear
BRIGHT, SUNNY, WARM
Which meant, I simply couldn’t pull myself away from it all, into SHADED premises just to look at CLOTHES AND SHOES
Sometimes, nature really just trumps fashion
Leaning against the balcony I breathed it all in and felt so thankful that London was blessed with one more, possibly last, semi-summery day before the leaves fall and winter takes over
In that moment, fashion was a far, far away thing in my mind
Insignificant
And I was so glad
*sigh* it’s my dream to go to London Fashion Week, or New York! The location is so beautiful.

Wow, Fashion Weeks.. Seems so great! Oh, what do you do, um, professionaly?
I love your take on fashion week; it seems everyone can get something out of it, no matter how random it may seem.
