London Fashion Week Day 1 SS 2014

Friday morning. Snowy woke and gave Pandemonia a gentle nudge, time to get ready. This was their first day out during London Fashion Week.



In the taxi Pandemonia checked the new hairdo in the mirror and re-arranged the new dress & Snowy's collar as they pulled up to Somerset House, for the 11am Felder & Felder show.

The show was taking place in a newly created space, deep down in the bowels of Somerset house.

This location in P's high heels proved to be more akin to Jules Verne "Journey to the Centre of the Earth".




At the space Pandemonia and Snowy were nestled between Hilary Alexander and Premier Model's new addition Harriet Verney.






Harriet was in a fabulous feathered dress.

The show theme was 'underwater', textures reflecting the ocean bed, coral reef and the odd reptile print thrown in for good measure.

Snowy, imagined Harriet entering the spirit of the concept and diving in like a hungry Humming bird, she didn't though - her wings were well and truly clipped.



Friday morning, Pandemonia and Snowy visited The Bloomsbury Set event in the magnificent BloomsburyCentral Baptist Church.


Here P&S avoided the stairs and took the lift to the lower ground floor to view the Spring/Summer 2014 collections by fashion and accessory designers;

Age-Of Reason-Studio: Duecci ; Karen K: Mymink : Mylovemyleggings: Nico Didonna: Pritch-London and 3 star ex graduates Andreas Feet Martinsen, Helena Dillon and Jorn Olsthoorn

And sample the Lavolio delicious hand made confectionery.







Ali Taylor Mapletoft from Ageof Reason Studio, cornered Pandemonia and Snowy and thrust into P's hand an invite to the Karen K show,


Upon which Pandemonia and Snowy produced their own. The Lebanese supermodel Karen El-Khazen is a very dear pal and they wouldn't have missed the Karen K runway show at 4pm for anything

Karen K show was an entertainment extravaganza; models with elongated sleek pony tails created by L'Oreal Professionnel UK hair art team, spearheaded by Luke Plucukrose & Tom Berry from Saks.





The girls came strutting out in bright swimmer, accessorised by Karen K shoes, bags and cuffs.

Much to the delight of Karen's ritzy customer base.

For the finale, Karen ditched her swimsuit for a floor length red dress with Gladiator sandals, perfect for hot sultry nights in exotic places.

Although, the introduction of a model in a gas mask threw poor Snowy for six.

 

Post show, Pandemonia was introduced by Cristina Polizzi to there latest fan, Massimiliano Mazzanti, the Italian General Consul.

Clutching a bottle of the latest water on the market Iskilde form Aqua-Amore P&S left for the Fashion International multi brand show.


At The Charing Cross Hotel a group of designers were showcasing in the Betjeman Suite.

Pandemonia and Snowy had only just sat down and out popped designers collection from AGA, Dee Duce, Gianni Lilliu, Wajahat Mirza and Yuvna Kim

Yuvna detailed crafted unlined lace dresses, were a bit risque for 4 year old Snowy's innocent eyes.





At the VIP cocktail party afterwards, Pandemonia and Snowy met Iman Sid who declared "you're the most amazing looking couple I've ever seen"

P&S thought what a great compliment coming from the author of "Miss Manners" .

Then Snowy's head started nodding, a sign for home time and good night sleep so as to be fresh for the following day's 'a la mode gad about' .

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.

Hilary Alexander

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

Lord Mayor

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 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".

PPQ

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.

Jo Wood


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.

Roberta Resta and Catherine Zangranodo

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.

Stacy Jackson

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.

Gabriella Ellis

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.

Dan O'Connor

Angelo

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.

After good nights rest and full of the joys of Spring, Pandemonia and Snowy made tracks for Bernard Chandran show....
