It’s the final day of New York Fashion Week and my first show was Ralph Lauren. Said hi to Anna Wintour earlier in her seat. After taking her picture, she asked me if ‘m going to London. I replied by saying I’m going to Milan and Paris; then she told me “I think you should. It’s good!”
I rang my boyfriend after the show and he said, ‘I think it’s a direct order that you should hop on a plane once New York Fashion Week is over’. Anna’s right. There’s a lot of interesting and talented young designers in the London scene, everyone from Erdem to Peter Pilotto, Christopher Kane and my friend Mary Katrantzou, Jonathan Saunders and JW Anderson. If it only wasn’t so expensive to go to London I’d go in a heartbeat but alas, my commercial relationships in NYC and Milan outnumber to my slim-to-none in London. Ahhhhh there’s always next season.
Always so lovely seeing Anna. She’s my heroine!
Next pit stop is Calvin Klein show at 2PM. That’s 45 minutes from now.
nice blog keep it up your own way!……..
good bold fashion is need of every one……….
The ugly & stuck up comment made me laugh, you get that in any big city. I am missing my LFW shows, have to live stream from my sick bed. So funny you say London is expensive, I was in NYC last week and saying how it is more expensive than London.
@ Mlle Meese – totally agree Savile Row is amazing.
I think you should take Anna’s advice and I can’t wait to see you around Milan!

If Anna Wintour tell you to do something, you do it. No questions asked. It’s a shame to miss Savile Row, though.
London is a must!
Have a fab weekend xoxo

Great pictures of Anna. Shame you are not going to London but have a fabulous time in Milan.
London is terrible and full of ugly stuck up people – at least in Paris the surroundings are gorgeous – can hardly say the same for London.
Anna is never wrong:) When in doubt ask what would Anna do? Loving your perspective on fashion week!
I think it was an order, personally would love to see you in London we can catch up and re-live the fun simple dayz of Sydney Fashion week 2008!!
London is the place to go b/c we are young the old establish brands have their audience we as fashion savvy should start supporting our own generation of fashion designers.
aww too bad, i’m hearing a lot of people say thats why they wont go to London because it cost so much!
Elle that is so true. Especially when it’s only a 3-4 day affair
