This Lovely, our last from London, has a slightly sportif vibe going in her checked sweater and sweatsuit-grey trousers, cuffed extra wide.

Karen Munnis is a London-based Canadian stylist who worked backstage on Mark Fast’s Fall 2010 show. Read on for her first-hand account of the action and some backstage shots.

Although preparation for fashion week happens months in advance, show day is always an exhilarating, albeit stressful, time for a designer. Saturday’s presentation of Canadian designer Mark Fast’s Fall 2010 collection on Saturday was no exception.

The fittings and casting at the Ten Manchester Street Hotel went well into the the night before the show (meaning 1 a.m.), the morning start is at a sensible 10 o’clock.

The shapes were simple enough at Mary Katrantzou‘s London Fashion Week show–long- and cap-sleeved shift dresses, a high-collar vest, a pencil skirt. There was maybe a ruffle or an asymmetric neck, but otherwise all the detail came as a clash of jewels, bows, lace and folds–all prints. It was a clever mix of the new […]

This Lovely’s riotously-coloured look layers fuchsia and teal and chartreuse (oh my!) but our favourite detail is her lilac specs.

Mark Fast showed his fall collection in London on Saturday. The live feed, didn’t work out, unfortunately, but we have the video now. Fast again populated his show with a few normal-sized models–including Crystal Renn–and showed a parade of his signature short, tight open work knits.

Is there anything you’ve always wanted to ask Donatella Versace? Well, you officially have the floor. Fans of Versace’s Facebook page can ask the designer questions today, and she will answer via video this Friday. [WWD]

Maternity leave has never seemed so short for models; Heidi Klum walked five weeks after giving birth to her daughter; Gisele was back on the runway six weeks later, and now Jourdan Dunn made her return yesterday at LFW 10 weeks after having a baby boy. The scariest thing about this trend is that 10 weeks now sounds like long leave of absence. [Vogue UK]
