Feels like forever since I've written! So much has been up, from London Fashion Week to getting keys to the Love Flat (Georgia et Albie's), the farewell Compeau bbq, decorating the flat, working, PS3'ing with the boxing (I take my EA Fight Night very seriously)...everything!
The flat has been the biggest thing taking up my time though, with stripping walls, washing walls, making walls smooth, painting. REPEAT for each room. Tis long but worth it in the end.
Anyways, London Fashion Week was upon us. I went for the first couple of days and a half going to so many great shows as per usual.

The last couple of days, I spent stripping walls with Georgia Goodrick et Mark Doogan. However, I did send my writer friend Jenna Dzonlic to report on the happenings at the shows. I'll be writing and drawing my happenings soon enough...
But for now, for the first time Playtime Customised by Albie Espinola has a different voice...presenting Jenna Dzonlic!
Orschel-Read
by Jenna Dzonlic
Mesmerized by the electric milieu of fashionistas strutting their stuff around Somerset House; you got the feeling that this was an exciting week for London. London Fashion Week has a special vibe, untouchable fashion direction, eclectic mixtures of high street and designer, sophistication and coolness.
My first show was Orschel-Read who were showcasing their Spring/Summer ‘10 collection. Their designs were based on Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night and Hindu art; so I was quite excited to see the result of such a diverse match.
The result was an altogether third itinerary, grass green leather trenches, high collar jackets, black bat like capes, skeletal painted faces and green dye Mohicans.
The show was structured in two parts, the first focused on perhaps more accessible clothing, tailor made black jackets, long chequered shirts and trousers.
The second part was very daring and more for the gothic exhibitionists; long dark sleek hair and long green snakes skin trench coats.
It was a nice experience and taster for what was to come in the following days of London Fashion Week.
David Koma

After viewing Orschel-Read’s show, we made our way to the David Koma. David Koma was winner of Vauxhall Scout Merit Award.
Unfamiliar with his earlier work, I was pretty impressed with his designs. David Koma used oblique and spheroid shapes with a mixture of bold primary colours on white and black tight fitting dresses. Plastic multicoloured mosaic type accessories were placed around models’ arms.
The distinctive dresses seemed to be influenced by the 1960’s futuristic theme. My favourite pieces were the dresses that had carefully constructed beading sewn around the circular shapes, circles around the sides and in the front of the dresses showing plenty, yet it still managed to look neat, tight and polished!
