Wardrobe and catwalk rehearsal at Eudon Choi‘s presentation.
Customised sunglasses with stuck on eye bits backstage at Fam Irvoll, so adorable looking I wanted to steal it.
Fam Irvoll’s mish-mash monsters print on dress, check out those pastel coloured creepers.
Jen looking dazzling with her shocking pink lightning earrings.
The metallic coating on the chocolate balls contain Titanium Dioxide, not sure it’s toxic but I ate it all.
Daks collection never disappoint me.
Kickers-esque loafters by Jackie. JS Lee, I got a right telling off from Jackie (in a nice way) for not turning up her show due to its full capacity at the Embankment Gallery.
2 weeks of insufferable jetlag and tormented by internet/phone bill from HK, don’t ask, I didn’t realised pay-as-you-go option was that expensive as I kept topping up HKD300 (£25) every week (darn data charge), turns out it was enough to pay for a 2 year contract. I suck.

My lovely rant.
London Fashion Week is finally over, nearly a week of no coverage on this blog IS necessary as I don’t feel the need to cover every single shows I attended in real time or delay a day or so, I’ve seen enough uninspired shit contents and random shitness…I like to take a chill pill, slowly absorb the fireworks and gravitate towards its visual magic.
To those who nicked my seats (on various occasions) in both venues resorting myself to sitting back row or standing, you’re in the shit. To those unnecessary amateurs (aspired bloggers/fashionistas/students) who wanted to be part of the experience, you gave us the unpleasant experience of your ill unprofessionalism and immaturity. This is not the world of Devil Wears Prada, it’s real work!

Kit, it was great to see you in London. I hear you – the atmosphere has changed completely. I couldn’t BELIEVE how many hangers-on there were at Somerset House, it was so intimidating. So much competition for attention, which has becoming a damning part sadly of fashion week which doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon.
A few years ago when I was a new blogger, I looked forward to fashion week so much, as a unique opportunity to meet and engage with the designers I admired so much and learn about the industry. Now I’m embarassed to be associated with ‘blogging’.
Also, good for you taking it slow and steady with your coverage. There’s far too much hastily uploaded content which exists to preach ‘Look, i was THERE’ as opposed to commenting on the fashion in context of business or culture.
A la prochaine! x
those sunglasses look so unique
Oh yeah, and I’ll try not to steal your seats next time
There’s nothing wrong with being a snob, the non-snobs just have no taste.
You post is so funny, but you also so true. I can’t believe the amount of bad show review posts Ive seen. I mean OK sometimes your images don’t work out but not writing up a decent piece of copy to make up for it etc, to me it is just plain rude and disrespectful to the designers.
Hmmmm… a part of me begs to differ. I’d like to think that if you’re nice and authentic… work hard and try to be true to what you believe… that people will take notice. Ok OKKK… obviously this isn’t always true and can’t be true for everyone but it’s what I’ve always tried to do.
I think the idea that people in fashion HAVE to be snobby in order to make it – just further feeds into the issue of the fashion industry being snobby.
‘WORK HARD AND BE NICE TO PEOPLE.’ – that’s something I genuinely try to do.
Maybe I’ll get trampled at some point, but I’d like to think I have enough of a backbone to stop that from happening. I have many thoughts on this issue but I’ll end it there.
Kit, I think you’re attitude is HILARIOUS and actually not snobby AT ALL. You’re just pointing out a fact. kiss kiss. love you much. xx
Kit, it’s not offensive at all you explained what you know best because you’re in the fashion industry since forever. Fashion industry is indeed snobbery and boot licking world, it is the only way to climb up the ladder, there is no fast track.
I apologise to those finds my LFW rant post offensive (or hilariously funny) it’s how I express myself, my words fingers towards the silly peeps who couldn’t behave as ‘press’, don’t forget LFW is a press event not a fashion playground. In case you don’t know I’m a freelance stylist by trade, former assistant to numerous established stylists for 7 years…a prominent stylist whom I’m still in touch with gave me a helpful advise, ‘to survive in fashion full of snobbery, be a snob’. There you go, I’m a snobbery stylist.
”This is not the world of Devil Wears Prada, it’s real work!” – LOL, you’re so funny and so true.
oh no that’s too bad. i feel like something bad always happens to bloggers at LFW!
Aiya not again, I have been hearing a lot on the negativism side about lfw, the social media circuit is going strongly as we thought, these children needs are influenced by the internet – bloggers! I hope it will be a better experience next time round.
nice pictures, shame about stealing seats.
Oh no another shitty year at LFW? You always say people’s behaviors are disappointing. I hate people! I like you though :p
Nora
The sunglasses are cute, you should have stolen them
Titanium Dioxide coating huh? Sounds like a bomb.
Love the visual diary.
Unacceptable! What can you do hay? What comes around goes around right, problems will take forever to solve.
Love the visuals Kit. x
I do love those loafters.
Oh no I’m so sorry to hear about your awful experience at lfw, hope you’re okay? I don’t know what it’s like so I can’t judge on that, these people needs a lesson.
Thanks for sharing.
