LFW diary: A Louboutin-prompted trip, followed by 4 stellar shows by Jean-Pierre Braganza and more!
Jean-Pierre Braganza shot by Antonio de Moraes Barros Filho/Getty Images I decided to kick off London Fashion Week by nearly falling…into my fabulous silver Mercedes Benz sedan. Thanks, British Fashion Council (and ouch, Louboutins)! Not a great start, but all was forgotten once I got to the Jena.Theo show, where an excited Hilary Alexander was already seated, wearing the cutest leopard-print sneakers. Loved the great big hair and red lips inspired by old-Hollywood glamour (fitting for a collection called Fatale).

London Fashion Week diary: Bora Aksu, seat stealing at Mark Fast, and the runway so far
BORA AKSU Spring 2011. Photography by Samir Hussein/Getty Images Friday
The first shows in London were under-attended due to the tornado in New York, but in London the weather’s fine and after a restful night at the May Fair Hotel and a lovely car ride with my assigned driver for the week (thanks, British Fashion Council!), I started the day at the Bora Aksu show. (Loved the ant-trail-printed tights. Wonder if—hoping—those will be produced?)
