Day 1: London Fashion Week – Hip Brits

by

London Fashion Week kicked off on Friday at the famed Somerset House. The first day showcased the city’s love of fashion with loads of colour, rocker chic and Britannia cool! Here are the hip-Brits that caught my eye.

SPOTTED: The show space at Somerset House.

HER STYLE:  Mod Annie Hall.

WHY WE LOVE IT!  Stella has perfectly blended bright pops of colour and sparkles with her Jonathan Saunders top and Topshop sequin skirt and shoes. Her colour-coordinated eye make-up brings a sweet whimsy to her look.

WHY WE LOVE IT!  Olivia worked her look around this season’s Topshop pajama pants and Zara denim shirt. She added a rocker-chic Kurt Geiger leather jacket and Hogan boots. Her vintage glasses, which she found in New York, add a Buddy Holly twist.

FASHION WEEK FAVORITE ADDRESSES: “I love to dine at Nobu because that’s a place where you’ll find most of the stylistas during fashion week. I also recommend Bellissima in South Kensington for hair!”
