Weds 30th Sept: RAPHA + LIBERTY







For the last day of fashion week I added a new colour to my spectrum wardrobe - this pale duck egg blue / airforce aqua.  It's a collaboration between Rapha and Liberty's Art print archive which is a first for a performance sportswear brand.  Their graphic aesthetic has brought about a novel selection from the floral archetype of Liberty's heritage series.  The 1930's optical dot pattern begins a two season partnership between the two British brands.  The complete range carries across the active wear to the accessories and city line.  I wore the whole look which fortuitously matched the colour scheme for fashion week, with the BFC's own choice of turquoise.  The new LFW venue on Brewer Street was also only a few doors down from Rapha's London Cycle Club where the line launched to coincide.  It's available at their other international stores and Liberty with a window installation and two bikes built from the pattern paintwork.  I'm mega chuffed with the Musette bag which has upgraded my usual backpack for a more fluid messenger chic!

Saturday Sept 12th: Vogue Fashion Night Out, London = Lizzie King at NIKE vs. Liberty






The best event of London's Vogue's Fashion Night Out was Nike at Liberty with Lizzie King in store for a tie-dye shoelace workshop.  Alexandra Schulman was in amongst the shoppers for the event which was open to all members of the public out for the night.  Flutes of champagne, pop ice lollies and Eliza Doolittle on the decks.  
Head to the newly refurbished concession designed by Rosie Lee and see mannequins styled by Vogue's Lucinda Chambers.
