I interned for Vauxhall Fashion Scout during LFW. I mostly did PR work, so front of house work which involved greeting really well dressed people with 7 names, who are permanently glued to each others cheeks. They were generally pretty pleasant though...Janice Dickinson even smiled at me with her mouth totally mobile and open, that made the week to be honest.
It was a busy week of 10 hour days, alot of standing around, running around, lifting, filling goodie bags, smiling, directing, greeting, and generally was pretty fun with a fair bit of hard work!

There was alot of exciting stuff going on all week, and alot of really good and successful shows, HOWEVER my camera also decided to have a stroke, so I ended up using my amazing Nokia camera phone, while standing 'manning' the front row, I felt rather stupid trying to look professional while snapping away with a mobile phone....

I had an interesting experience dressing for the Marsha Ma show, which I was happy to do but I did miss the show which was apparently pretty good.shit.
The model I was dressing was a bit arsey though, and it made it awkward trying to fit her tits into a top when she was scouling at me, while trying to dress another naked model behind me who was trapped in her top.....It doesn't matter though because after all the clothes were pretty damn good, and the collection was very well recieved ( i know this for sure as floods of people came backstage after crying and I once again witnessed people glued to each others cheeks...)

The highlight for me had to be the Swedish School of Textiles BA collections, once again I had no means of photography for this but I have popped a few pics from the VFS blog on here instead. It was one of the most inventive, and exciting collections of the week for me. I'm sure it wasn't for everyone, with models wearing rather sinister looking magazine cut out paper mache face masks by Elinor Nilsen, and sunglasses complete with hair! The styling was adventurous, and bold, with sculptural 3D structures pertruding from the models bodies in bright pastel colours to compliment the bursts of polka dots, and structural head pieces by Sara Anderson, who opened the show.
