KTZ London Fashion Week A/W 2012

Extract from Pandemonia Front Row Report



Pre KTZ, Pandemonia and Snowy were hopping in & out of their seats, to catch up with this seasons partner in crime, Christopher George of 55 Factory TV. Chris and P&S accompanied him, at chewing the fat with Rochelle Wiseman of the Saturdays.



Pleasantries over, next up, was P&S glamours playmate, the adorable Lizzie Cundy in her low cut, body con red dress, one that had M8 security men wishing they were employed in fashion.



Then back to their perch's, the shows music pumped out in time with the various permutations of tartan, either in black & White, Red or Yellow with black, in frock coats, jackets, shirts, kilts, trousers and shoes. A vision that would make Vivienne Westwood proud with it's modern execution.  Then another equally comprehensive narrative using white on black motif's, these snaked their way from cap to footwear. At no point did the show let up, the music & the clothes were in sync. KTZ delivery was reminiscent of a Westwood, Boy London and Patricia Field high energy catwalk shows. One that held Pandemonia and Snowy attention throughout. As P&S vanished into the night, with their feet tapping to the previous shows beat, they snuggled up and minds drifted over their LFW and what a great one it was.

Ashley Isham A/W 2012

P was still blushing from TB, as P&S bundled into a cab for Goldsmith Hall, for Ashley Isham show.



While Pandemonia settled Snowy on her lap, Charlene Jumbo, the creative director of Cakes&Tarts, parked herself next to them and produced a C&T colour co-ordinated cup-cake, one that matched Pandemonia's garb. P love it.



Ashley's lights went down and he rolled out a collection of garments, in leather, jersey, lace, metallics and floral prints in some subtle gold, teal and grey. Tailored suits that's leather piping gave definition line and floor length draped dresses in silk jersey. 



On the exit stairway landing, Pandemonia and Snowy came face to face, with some of Mr Isham's luscious models and took this opportunity to congratulated them keeping the elegant vibe rolling, throughout the show.  They said "is was easy", gave Snowy a hug and then they skedaddled.

Extract from Pandemonia Front Row Report



The next day, Pandemonia and Snowy headed to Vauxhall Fashion Scout at Freemasons Hall, Great Queen Street, for Fam Irovoll fashion show. Fam whimsical nursery tale of google eyed monsters, in pastel coloured baggy knits, leggings, baby doll dresses and printed brothel creeper's.



Post show Pandemonia & Snowy encountered LA's new rock band "Early Morning Rebel" ranked by Cosmopolitan magazine as the new IT band, these guys railroaded P&S into coming to their gig that night at Roof-gardens. Snowy was delighted to go, knowing there was a huge garden if he got caught short.

PPQ A/W 2012

Extract from Pandemonia Front Row Report

On route, in the courtyard P&S got hood winked into giving a sound bite to Fashion TV and then breezed inside.



On the front row, Pandemonia was snapped and tweeted by Hilary Alexander from the Telegraph.



Followed up, by a quick how-do-you-do with the Lord Mayor of Westminster Susie Burbridge, proceeded by a quick chat with Jameela Jamil.



Jameela divulged to P, I'm not only presenting on TV, I'm also working at BBC on the radio and enjoying that to".



Seated, PPQ show took a grown-up turn, with emphasis on 50's hollywood glamour, with their full length skirts, mid-length draped chiffon dresses that were cinched in at the waist on models with cascading tresses, a vision Pandemonia felt akin to.




In the scrum to leave P chatted with Joe Wood and party princess Zoe Griffin. Jo let it slip, "I've worn her best a pair of leather trousers", the sight of all that leather, sent Snowy howling.



Later, Pandemonia & Snowy joined Arieta Mujay and the rest of the River Island team for the launch of a brand new initiative FASH/ON FILM sponsored by River Island staged at foyer of BFC space. P&S hooked up Fiona Mcham and Catherine Hudsan from Junior magazine for a tipple.



Time was speeding on and it P&S said their goodbye's, to Roberta Resta and her pal Catherine Zangranodo, to rush across to TRG for the rock show.



Outside in the shadows of the BFC ramp walkway, Pandemonia a Snowy literally stepped into a bunch of knee high punk infants. The sight of which gave Snowy cause for concern, until a relative of their's stepped up and asked to take picture of P&S with modern day brat pack.



P&S hopped a cab to the The Roof Gardens for EMR performance. Where in the RG-VIP room Pandemonia caught up with singer/song writer Stacy Jackson to discover Stacey is releasing a new single "Is This Love" after her on whistle stop tour of the USA withThe Soushaker and eSquire remixes of 'Live it Up' ft collaboration with Snoop Dogg.



From one hot gal to another, Made in Chelsea TV star, Gabriella Ellis. Snowy thought, Gab looked fully recovered from being dumped fellow star Ollie Locke and ready to take up a new challenge, could it be S mused, the new lumbering hunk of Hollyoaks TV series, the ex Neighbour's soap star Dan O'Connor, S says watch this space.





An equally devilishly handsome singer/performer Angelo, used all his charms to coerce Pandemonia and Snowy to agree, to attend his act on Monday night at Freedom Bar, Soho.

Pandemonia and Snowy left Angelo for home, to check their email responses to P art work on "Pushing the Envelope" a charity auction between 12th and 22nd March 2012 to help raise money for the National Literacy Trust. And get some sleep, not wanting to have any bags under their eyes for rest of London Fashion Week shows.

Ziad Ghanem SS 2012

After Shenzhen fashion fashion show, Pandemonia nipped into VFS media lounge to put her feet up and drink, Vita Coco coconut water of course.



There P met New York photographer Dennison Bertram , who had a quick snuggled up to Ms P pooch, before jetting off to Monti Carlo for glamours shoot on the Gucci yacht.



Rested, P scooped up her bag and hightailed it to Ziad Ghanem show, inspired by Polish film maker Matka Joanna.



The show was cinematic delight, from the opener, with young couple holding hands, that resembled extras from "Rocky Horror "cult movie.

The show then switched, to darker vamp side, with chic in black sheer chiffon dress with white veil, more in keeping with hammer horror.

Followed by equally macabre white face guy in high heels and red gloves, think Lindsey Kemp in black.

To a modern Pasolini Christ like figure, in black thorns crown, white lace top, half corset and jodhpur pants

In the middle of all this ballyhoo appeared a dainty young nymph, who came striding out straight from "Alice in Wonderland", who P discovered was Janet Younan, the designers favourite cousin.



Next Marnie Scarlet a saucy, Fellini gal in white latex balacalva, full white dress and red "splat" umbrella.



David Lynch type in a micro mini dress with cross ruffle. An Issac Julian hunk, wrapped in what resembled a Jackson Pollock painting.



To a statuesque John Walters kinda women/performer in ankle length opium red silk satin dress

At the end of the show, Pandemonia jumped a cab for home, to wash her hair, ready for another day of fashion.

The Rodnik Band

London Fashion Week SS 2012.

Day 1 16th September St Martins Lane hotel.

Dressed in Marlboro Red Pandemonia drops in on The Rodnik Band.



Combining pop art and fashion, Philip Colbert’s sea world-inspired Spring 2012 The Rodnik Band collection included plenty of fantastically eye-catching garments. While some, like the sequin-made submarine dress and one with a crab peeking up from the top would be fitting for few aside from Lady Gaga, a fan of the brand, others like a mod-ish fish scale-inspired dress and Navy SEAL-inspired separates could easily translate into girl-about-town wardrobes (think Sienna Miller, also a fan of Colbert’s work).

Giving his designs a somewhat political message this season, the designer partnered with the Environmental Justice Foundation to create he says, “A strong message behind the clothes […] they are a leading Environmental charity, and have done amazing work to reduce Pirate fishing, which has greatly affected the worlds fish stocks, causing massive damage to the wider marine ecosystem and the food security and livelihoods of poor coastal communities in developing countries.” Colbert went on to explain that he’s always had an affinity for the aesthetic the sea – “from Fisherman’s outfits to sailors uniforms. ”
