Some Very best highlights from London Fashion Week AW13...

Yup, it's that time of year again lovely reader. Stressed out editors, running around with just a single Starbucks to keep them going, stressed out designers, stitching last minute appliqués onto dresses, and stressed out bloggers, all eager to sit FROW, with smoke coming from their over-active fingers on keyboards.

It's Autumn Winter 2013 time. And so far I've seen some great stuff!

Here's a tiny round up of some of the things so far...


***The Menkes Quiff*** Suzy Menkes, fashion editor for the International Herald Tribune and writer of that feature about bloggers being 'peacocks' is in town people. How do you know? Because her quiff arrives five minutes before she does. Here she is, looking stressed, at Moschino Cheap & Chic. It takes a glimpse of a serious fashion editor for me to know that fashion week is full on underway!

***Best collection of the week, Jean-Pierre Braganza*** He knows how to dress a woman, and for autumn winter, it's powerful, sexy and sculptural. JPB said of his collection: "I'm obsessed with the idea that numbers and geometry have symbolic and cosmic value, with the female form being the ultimate cosmic being" And his cosmic woman was dressed in geometric star print, power shirts and trousers, cocoon shoulders and one of my favourite shapes - that long tunic over skirt look. Gorgeous.

***Best dressed man of the week goes to him...***

***Palmer Harding amazingness*** If ever there were designers to tackle how to do good shirting and genius ways to wear one, these boys have won, hands down. Twice over. Detailing is key to the Palmer Harding aesthetic. Cinched waists, cuff link-like embellishments, origami folds on splaying from the seams and asymmetric lengths all make up another outstanding collection from Palmer Harding.

***Best FROW shot goes to Fashion Foie Gras*** As if L'Wren Scott showing for the first time in London isn't enough, she has a front row that looks like this... Anna Wintour (in Prada), Mick Jagger and Daphne Guinness. GENIUS!

More London Fashion Week stuff to come soon!
