Nina Naustdal's 2nd year anniversary party

Pandemonia and Snowy were feeling a tingling in their toes as they dressed and put the final touches to their wardrobe. Snowy's eyes almost popped out of their sockets when Pandemonia put on the perfect complement to her outfit—a pair of salmon-pink Linda Farrow sunglasses.  Ready and dressed, they burnt rubber to get to Nina Naustdal's Walton Street store for its second anniversary party.



  On the red carpet, Snowy got extremely excited to see his party pal, the gorgeous Noelle Reno. Noelle introduced P&S to the latest babe on the circuit, Layla Young, the 19-year-old daughter of pop crooner Paul Young.

Noelle's smile said it all—her squeeze Scot Young was back with her out on the town. Scot is now free from Her Majesty's nick and has a buff bod, which, he says, is the result of "the prison diet and exercise" tapping his flat tum.

 

Stepping into the store, Pandemonia and Snowy struck up a conversation with celebrity fashion stylist Kelvin Barron.  The conversation touched upon the importance of colour coordination, and Snowy noticed that Kelvin was wearing a River Island shirt that matched P's outfit to a tea. How in tune that is!



  Moving on, Pandemonia and Snowy shuffled their way in to find the bar, only to be hindered and go toe to toe with their adorable chum Zoe Griffin and editor of Live Like a VIP.

Zoe was pushing the a la mode boat out tonight in an ultra-short fuchsia fringe dress with matching shoes and the compulsory glass of bubbly.  After downing the last bubbly drop, Snowy was given a gentle squeeze from Zoe before she scarpered off to her next VIP gig.



  The next encounter Pandemonia and Snowy had was with TV presenter and all-round good egg Amal Fashanu.  Amal was wearing a dress Pandemonia and Snowy recognised from Nina Naustdal's ready-to-wear Gold catwalk show that took place in March. Amal said, "I'm still doing my TV stuff, and to earn some more cash, I've signed up to Storm Model agency."  P&S wished her well.



  They continued on with the bar search, only to find the evening's host, Nina Naustdal, taking a breather after her photo call. Nina let it slip, "I can't believe it's been two years since I opened my store." And before she could utter another word, Nina was ushered off for more snapping.



  Eventually, Pandemonia and Snowy reached the tented terrace, where the bar had been set up along the back wall. Armed with a glass of champagne, Pandemonia clinked glasses with Catalina Guirado-Cheadle. Catalina explained to P&S, "Since my dad, artist Juan Antonio Guirado, passed away, I've taken up the mantel of highlighting his artwork by turning his paintings into beautiful textiles, starting off with scarves."  P&S can't wait to see them in the stores.



  Heading back into main throws of the bash, Pandemonia and Snowy got locked in the doorway with Karolina Kivimaki, journalist and contributing editor for Lake Como Lifestyle magazine. Karolina confessed to P&S, "I've had a bit of a day of it—a three-hour lunch at Bulgari Hotel, followed by a private champagne reception with jewellery designer Noa at Thea Jewels Ltd in Library of the Arch Hotel, and now here."  Snowy wished he had KK's stamina and clear head.



  From one busy lady to another, P&S got to meet Clare Beckwith. Clare told Pandemonia and Snowy, "Don't you dare leave without the goodie bag; it's got my Kangen water in it." P&S promised they wouldn't and headed towards the exit, only to be sidetracked by OK anchor Liz Cundy and fashion designer Nico Didonna.



Liz wanted to get Pandemonia and Snowy to have their picture taken outside, but Nico was thirsty, having only just arrived, so all went their separate ways.



As time was ticking, Pandemonia could see Snowy melting, so P continued to make haste towards the exit, only to run into the band Times Red, whom Snowy and Pandemonia had spent many happy hours with at various runway shows during London Fashion Week.
The lads confessed, "We are still on a high spirits after our launch of the new single 'Not Listening' and invited P&S to their gig at the British Grand Pix at Silverstone in June." 

  Pandemonia and Snowy bid them au revoir, tumbled into a cab, and then made an escape for home, only, this time, to be hauled up by Dee Vesali's PR team, who popped a goodie bag into the taxi—always a welcome sight.

London Fashion Week Day 3 AW 2013

Pandemonia roused Snowy from his slumbers and chose to don a new mint-green costume for the day. Once dressed, they made haste to Fashion Scout for Kiev fashion designers show. The Ukrainian designers were Anna October, Paskal, Yasya Minochkina, and Anna Kolomoets.

These designers gave P&S insight into their vision of what a European woman should be wearing this winter: from sixties-inspired monochrome tale to mid-calf-length dresses and tailored coats— all jazzed up with aid of some silver thread—to panels of iridescent leather.

After the show, Pandemonia and Snowy hopped a cab to Mayfair Hotel to meet Hannah White, publisher of the Fashion Monitor. Hannah and her team had organised a FM pampering suite and showroom.



After being pampered, Pandemonia and Snowy ambled into the adjoining suite. There, they met Italian fashion designer Danilo Gabrielli. Danilo had cut his teeth in USA, working at Tommy Hillfiger, Anne Klein, and Club Monaco. Dan divulged, "The reason I wanted to show here was that I didn't want to be lost in a sea of exhibitors."




Time was marching on, and P&S decided they need to nip home. Upon entering the hotel lift, they found themselves in the company of two gals from First Models. These delicious females with autocratic features snapped into professional action and struck a pose with Pandemonia and Snowy.

Later that night, Pandemonia and Snowy arrived at Karen K and Pritch LONDON fashion show at Baku. K&PL show gave the straight guys a hot flush, with fit females striding out in sexy high heels, fine leather jackets, and leather leggings by My Love My Leggings— a sight that left the women lusting after Karen's shoes and Arina's butter-soft leather multi-interchangeable jackets.



This look also brought a smile to Paul McNicoll, one of the deans from London College of Fashion. Paul told Pandemonia & Snowy, "It was a good show," before he vanished to the bar to cool down his ardour.



Snowy proceeded to wriggle—a sign that indicated to Pandemonia that it was time to leave for the Kristian Aadnevik show. On the pavement outside Baku, P and Snowy got a big thank-you hug and a kiss from Arina, designer of Pritch LONDON, for coming. Then, they clambered into cab to Royal Horse Guards Hotel, One Whitehall Place.



In this magnificent setting, Pandemonia & Snowy chatted with Chimere Cisse, a PR from Hearst Publications Group, about the mad schedule of shows over the past four days. Once seated, Kristian kicked off his show with house lights up and kept them up throughout the show, thus enabling his guests to see his intricate designs and masterly use of fine fabrics.

Backstage, post show, Pandemonia and Snowy complemented Mr K Aadnevik on his superb show.



Then, Pandemonia & Snowy took a closer gander at Kristian's handiwork on his luscious runway models.



Stepping aside to let others admire the models, Pandemonia and Snowy got to chatting with actress Kari Kleiv.



Purring with self-satisfaction over her vintage mint-green dress, Kari said to P, "Mine matches yours. I'm in love with all things synthetic, especially polyester."

As the KA well-wishers crowded in, Pandemonia retrieved Snowy from Kari. Then, P&S said their goodbyes and made tracks for home to catch their favourite late-night radio show.

Day 2

  Snowy sat patiently in his comfy basket, while Pandemonia slipped on this season’s new petrol blue dress.

Then P teamed the dress with red belt, scarf, gloves, Melissa Westward shoes and off they set to meet Kady Z at the  "One's To Watch" at Fashion Scout.

This show consisted of 3 completely different design offers.



First up was the Yeashin Kim tale…. young girls hiking through the woods in oversized footwear. To Patrick Li, ran out, short and long elegant dresses, all cut on the bias with asymmetric hem lines.  And Yuila Kondranina, dresses were in solid jet-black, monochrome or rainbow colours.



These tasselled like dresses, made up of long threads, created a femme fatale spiders web garment. One that any unsuspected male would enjoy being entangled with, if the femme resembled the runway models.

  Since the shows were back to back, Pandemonia and Snowy sought refuge in VS media centre. Awarding both Pandemonia and Snowy the chance to put their feet up before Dans Le Vie, the next show. Rested and refreshed, it was back to the main hall for the Dans La Vie collection designed by Rira Sugawara.



Pre show, a delightful girl approached and asked to be photographed with Pandemonia & Snowy. This accomplished, P&S settled down to see this season stamp.



Models marched out, in skin-tight balaclavas, solid block panelled garments with print inserts. The silhouette tailored to create a severe look, softened only by a peplum and a feminine line skirt.

  Back at the FS Media centre for refreshment and then again to the hall for the Carlotta Actis Barone show. Carlotta departed from previous colourful upbeat range.



This season's garments were in either solid black or white, or monochrome combination and plunging necklines, and all in ones with wavy panel button through front and knickerbockers bottoms. In addition black dresses with transparent chiffon inserts that sent Snowy dizzy. OoooLaaLaaaah!



Ms Actis’ best items it was felt were her ivory cape, although the finale dress she wore herself-both won the crowds applause.



  In the Lobby after the show, Pandemonia and Snowy meet an adorable junior fan whose mother stepped up and asked, "can my daughter have pictured with you two". P&S sprang into action, did the pap shot and took their leave, home at last. Calling it a day, knowing that tomorrow was going to be a late one.
