London-based fashion designers

Some of my favourites:

1. Matthew Williamson- known to me for his silk mini-dresses, embellishments, flowy, printed cocktail dresses... things you'd want to have with you for those summer vacays! (I want his entire S/S collection now please!) Ibiza anyone?

Spring/Summer 2010 RTW
Fall 2010 RTW
2. Temperley London- Alice Temperley combines iconic British styles and elements to her designs (topping most of her collections off with hats and cool accessories). I love the mix of prints and how everything is so wearable. The new Alice by Temperley line makes for some more affordable options!

Spring 2010 RTW

Fall 2010 RTW
3. Burberry- if you asked anyone on the street what is one fashion brand which you would associate with Britain I think many people would think of Burberry's classic trench coats...simple but classic style. Christopher Bailey has been adding more sophistication to Burberry Prorsum with the last 2 seasons take on the miltary trend, draping, belts and more amazing outerwear...not to mention the nude wedges!

Spring 2010 RTW

RST 2011
4. Vivenne Westwood- and who could leave out the quintessential and iconic British designer...eccentric and fun, her designs and runway shows never fail to be different and unique.

Harvey Nichols, SKYY VODKA and Sex and the City

A fabulous fashion and beauty event took place at Harvery Nichols in Manchester on May 13th to celebrate the launch of the highly anticipated fashion film of the year, Sex And The City 2! Harvey Nichols and Skyy Vodka hosted an evening full of fashion, beauty and cocktails. A fashion show with looks from the film, beauty demonstrations and a range of delicious Skyy Vodka Sex and The City inspired cocktails and American snacks were enjoyed. Those who attended left with a goodie bag with Skyy Vodka, cupcakes and a range of skincare products and treatments to look and feel just as fabulous as Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda!


Can't wait for the Sex and the City 2 UK release date! We already have an entire night planned for next Friday including a screening of the 1st movie and cocktails, celebrating Laura's 24th birthday and off to the cinema to see the new film!
