London Fashion Week Day 2 SS 2014

Pandemonia and Snowy had a bit of a lay in, knowing they had a long day ahead, dressed, then ready to face the world, they headed off.

Their first port of call was at the Bloomsbury Set Event, for Nico Didonna 1pm show.

On hand to give P&S the latest update, was their soul mate Cristina Polizzi.
Cristina said "this season, Nico has teamed up for 2 time, with accessories designer Nadia Minkoff London, who will provided the jewelry and bags".



Pandemonia and Snowy sat next to, Nico who did a quick hello to P&S and singer Beverley Knight & her posse, then raced backstage. Nico ran out, his staple diet of elegant silk jersey dress, tailored jackets and skirts & pants, paired beautifully glass-beaded earrings and matching necklaces, Nadia's homage to ancient princesses gems.



Next up at BSE, was Pritch-London 4am runway show.
This season the label designer Arina Pritch pulled out all the stops. Aided and abetted by Hair by Ollie Blackaby and Headmasters team for L'Oreal Professionnel UK. http://www.headmasters.com/

Plus her favourite sidekick and international DJ, Sacha Muki. Sacha had flown in from South of France and played a live set, directly after the church organist classical intro to Arina's show.

Culminating a electrifying runway show, featuring intricately cut jackets made out of the finest summer weight leather in on trend colours that won rapturous applause.

At the Ptich-London post show reception, Pandemonia and Snowy were treated to delicious red wine courtesy of Enologia.



The wine perked P&S up for their next jaunt to the Charing Cross Hotel, for the second batch of designers at Fashion International show. Feeling a little peckish Snowy and Pandemonia made a detour to TV chef Enzo Oliveri’s gaff. Fratelli La Bufala 40 Shaftesbury Avenue, W1D 7ER.
After they'd been fed and watered P&S said their goodbye's to cooks and hopped a cab to CCH.



In the hotel show space fashion designer Yuvna Kim spotted Pandemonia and Snowy. Yuvna, divulged  "I missed the chance to chat with you fabulous pair yesterday evening and want to say you’re amazing".  P&S thanked her for the compliment & took their seats.



There they found themselves next to the statuesque fashion designer Nina Nuastdal.
Nina enquired, "have you both received my invite to the Amy Winehouse charity fundraiser show I’m doing at Mayfair Hotel on the 19 September". P&S responded with a nod and lights went down and music went up a notch, for Gianni Lilliu to parade his latest collection. A sight that threw Snowy, having seen this Gianni's line the night before?



This was then followed by Luna Sky collection and then Pakistani designer Omar Mansoor.
At the post VIP after show party 90s singer Shola Ama, actress Elaine Cassidy & stylist Angharid Merry rubbed shoulders with the designers.

And Pandemonia took a look at the clock and whisked up Snowy & headed for the exit. Only to be stopped in their tracks by the lumbering fashion designer Omar, who collared P&S for quick snap in the hallway. P&S did the dead and then raced outside, to catch a cab for home, knowing they needed to be fit for following days activities.
