So the Clotheshow was pretty good actually.
Susan, aka me: long sleeve top, oh they're different, well they're both Primark anyway, dress - vintage, waistcoat - Oasis, leggings, bag and boots TK Maxx (I happen to be waering everything I've ever bought from there at once.)
Pamela: Orange top - H&M, white tshirt - Gap, blousey thing - Zara, Skirt - vintage, tights - M&S, shoes - Susan's Nan, bag - vintage.
Well anyway it got better, though most of it is a bit 'print dresses and tshirts' we managed to get a few lovely things. But the real joy was the Motorola catwalk which we happened upon. Because Pam was there for 'Textiles research' and me for art, there was a spare place so thankfully Wendy-may could tag along, we had to look at all the little shows. Woo for that. It turned out it was the 20th anniversary of the clotheshow so major desgners were being shown on the catwalk. There was a titchy crowd so we were mere feet away from A/W 20078 collections! And excellently one of them was Gareth Pugh who I'm studying for art! Also Hilary Alexander was presenting the show and we walked past her behind the stage. I said hello and she said she liked my gold leggings so that was nice.
Followed by a Jean Charles de Castelbajac...
And then... Well it was only John frickin Galliano!
And then Kenzo, which I never actually looked at before but will now...
Eek! Gareth Pugh, it was pretty amazing becasue I've been studying his work but never thought I'd get to set it in real life...
And finally Giles Deacon, I have about 10 pictures of that red dress, it was very lovely.
And I will finish with a picture of the always charming Vernon kaye.
It was the fourth year in a row for me and Pam and it didn't start off too well. We went with college, which was wierd, so we went on a tiny mini bus thing with this painfully annoying girl who thinks she invented shiny leggings. and does not shut up. ever. It's strange how a year ago we got dirty looks when wearing black PVC on our legs, now it's painfully common.
Here is what we wore:
Wendy-May: Satin trounsers - Primark, Boots - ebay, Black lace top - vintage, white lace - who knows, green top - Topshop, Jacket - Warehouse, Necklaces - vintage.
Susan, aka me: long sleeve top, oh they're different, well they're both Primark anyway, dress - vintage, waistcoat - Oasis, leggings, bag and boots TK Maxx (I happen to be waering everything I've ever bought from there at once.)
Pamela: Orange top - H&M, white tshirt - Gap, blousey thing - Zara, Skirt - vintage, tights - M&S, shoes - Susan's Nan, bag - vintage.

No way, I've been to the clothes show twice before and thought it was getting a bit too young for me. I can't believe they had those collections on the catwalk, how lucky! I am super jealous!
those are such good outfits and killer boots on the first outfit! and so lucky to see a fashion show like that (catwalk)... ive been a clothes show once but nothing as fab as that.
Wow, those Gareth Pugh pieces are just so amazing, I am so impressed every time I see them....
i agree about the kenzo thing i haven't looked twice before now..
I went to the clothes show aswell it was pretty awesome :P
Love the outfits,
and cant believe how amazing the shows were, wish i got to see them in person!
i need satin trousers in my life! did they have these collections on the arena show??? last year i watched these on a little stage but the main stage was awful and just had models dancing and topless men so i didn't go this year- starting to regret it when seeing these pics!
