Your support makes all the difference.After New York kicked off September Fashion Week in showstopping style last week, all eyes are now on London. But before the shows begin in earnest, the fashion set toast the new season trends at a handful of exclusive parties. On the eve of LFW two of the hottest tickets in town were the H! by Henry Holland party and the Melissa x Westwood Anglomania bash. No invite? Not to worry, we were there. So sit back and let us take you behind the scenes.
Henry Holland’s celebration set the scene for his upcoming catwalk show with a pop-up shop offering the designer’s signature bold slogan tees. Singer Vanessa White sung his praises explaining, “What I love about Henry Holland is he’s so out there”.
Meanwhile at the Melissa x Westwood Anglomania event we got a snapshot of some futuristic footwear. Guests included Ella Eyre and DJ Princess Julia, who shared her perspective on Fashion Week in the capital: “Creativity makes London a standout city”. Our thoughts exactly, Princess.
