You may have noticed some radio silence yesterday; well that's 'cos I was unchained from the shackles of my desk (again) and finally embracing the best that
London Fashion Week has to offer.
My highlights from Somerset House will follow, but fresh from The Exhibition I zoomed off to a v cool
Off-Schedule show courtesy of model/designer
Anna Popovich. As you well know, I'm not into dangling unaffordable (if delicious) designer garms like a golden carrot beneath your noses, so you'll be pleased to hear that Anna's debut ready to wear collection is colourful, crisp and not beyond the realms of possibility if you fancy treating yourself.
From colour pop maxis to simple gold pencil dresses (and a camel coat to get giddy over) Anna's AW12/13 collection - much like its designer - is fresh, pretty and graceful, with a glint in the eye. Uber-friendly, and flanked by her lovely parents, Anna mingled with the audience after the show - as did her models. Walked to very laidback, classically-tinged tracks, in flats or wedges, this collection looked effortlessly cool. And the post-show buzz from the crowd at a bustling urban venue in the depths of Waterloo would suggest that Anna Popovich is well on the up. Good on her!
