LONDON FASHION WEEK JSTREETSTYLE

It's that time of year again when fashion week comes to town. Trouble is, all over the world people seem to be saying that same thing. I'm having a whinge due to fashion week fatigue and we've only just started the season has. My eyes hurt. Make it stop. Don't get me wrong.
You all know I love imagery and fashion but I need a break.

OK. Whinge over.

The weekend of the 16th - 19th September saw all that is fashion come to good old London town. The stars came to visit their favorite shows. The actresses, models, style icons, super editors, the bloggers and the worlds top street fashion fans all descended on the centre of town.
For one day only, even the sunshine paid London a visit all be it very brief as the dominant side of British weather always has the last word, It spoke in volumes on Saturday evening and wouldn't shut up for ages. Rain,rain, rain. Bla, bla, bla.

Well when the sun shined earlier, the cameras were out. Tommy Ton, The Sartorialist, Facehunter, WGSN. the usual crown plus a whole lot more. While the Holly Fulton show was up next to feature its offerings for what we'll be wearing for the spring of 2012, the streets were packed. Rammed with bodies most of them cameras in hand. It was exciting thought.
I love people watching. Who doesn't? It all happened in front of your eyes and what a site.

Elle magazine fashion editor, the lovely Kate Lanphear chasing Tommy Ton. Anna Dello Russo. The fashion editor to Vogue Nippon, you know, the Italian woman with the most amazing legs who showed up dressed in a white trouser suit with matching hat & cute Bottega Veneta clutch bag. What an entrance she made. Showstopping. It was a packed and most eventful weekend.
I met many new faces from many different places.

Join us for a brief journey through the images from that weekend that was Fashion Week in London.

socks and Lita boots she rocks, the latter by Jeffrey Campbell

Here's a familiar face you'll see at London Fashion Week.

VINTAGE AT THE SOUTHBANK

You all know we have a passion for vintage fashion here at Jstreetstyle so it was a thoroughly enjoyable time when London's Southbank was transformed into a Vintage wonderland for a weekend on July 29th to 31st. Conceived by designer Wayne Hemingway, the event that saw a fantastical sunny day for British weather brought out the most amazingly and stylishly dressed people from all over the nation with a singular passion. The love of vintage fashion. With fashion shows, shops and stalls, even a sea of beach stylish huts were among the many sights. Others included people jitterbugging, even flash private jitterbugging with headphones. Cinema on or rather in retro stylized vehicles and so much more.

Here are a few of the people we saw there.

This is Yuki from Japan dressed in Vintage style

Blue is the colour, Vintage is the game. We're here together.
Enjoyment is our aim.

Couple of old dears! Hardly. We think these women are amazing.

Style and energy in bundles.

We'll have some of whatever they're on please.

Shear elegance and style and sadly here but for a while.

Tartan and stripes. Umm! Very nice Very nice

An here's our very own Milk Maiden

Another spiffing couple looking so very nice

Just to add a bit of modernity to the colour and procedings
here's a chirpy woman happy and flirty in her jersey dress
from Prada SS 2011 collection.

Eye Eye. What have we here, lurking in your hair?
Some king of ephemera dare I swear.

You wing it girl. Either way you look cool in your shades.

A big smile for a little inspiration we think. Wink Wink!

paying their dues in blues and hues

We think it's very likely that this is Holly but don't quote us on that

More evidence of the black and white lurking in the shade.

Between you and I she looks pretty convincing to me.

Girls, Swirls and Curls.

Hat a girl. you show us what you're made of.
All fine and dandy, all sugar and candy, We see that smile.
Very very handy

You all know we have a soft spot for J Crew in J style
so here's Aki from Nagoya wearing a 70s style Maxi.

On the same tip, here's the uber stylish Lady Kamikaze

The trousers are her own design tailor made by Golden Needle

and the up self customised. This is a wold class DJ and hostess
of the renowned Lady Luck club.

The fire bomb of energy in the 60s dress is Lia Grandi
of The Style Eye

Redheads. Always too hat to handle. Adding extra heat
with her uber discrete glasses from Lulu Guinness.

Here's one silver lining we'd like to stick around a little longer.

Reworking her 30s wedding dress into a 60s style mini.

What the hell! Let's have another shimmy.

A Chinese beauty on The Pink Bus

A statuesque beauty doing her duty so let's give thanks
to Geoff Banks for the dress that she's filling rather well.

The perfect balance of colours with her accents of pinks
blues and purples.

Here's looking at you doll. That's if you're up to it!

Wayne! More of the same please?
