As part of a competition my university held, I was lucky enough to be one of the chosen few who attended Burberry's AW16 collection at London Fashion Week.
And trust me, I can't believe I just said that.
The atmosphere was quite unlike anything I've ever experienced before, A mass of photographers frantically running around trying to get the best shot, fans waiting to see if they could catch a glimpse of their favourite celebrities. This resulted in me having my first experience of being 'papped' (poor people must've be gutted when they realised I was a nobody), which was slightly terrifying and strangely amusing at the same time, with my hair blowing in every direction possible, my massive umbrella probably taking up most of the shot.
(That being said, if you see me photo-bombing any photos from the day, do let me know!)
my look for the day
Staying true to myself, I was running super late. I was cutting it really fine, having about 5 minutes to spare before the show started. Luckily I still made it, along with about 20 other people who were probably having the same train of thought. I finally managed to grab a spot at the back, completely in awe of the atmosphere, the presence of the runway and the back wall of camera lenses staring back at me. The cherry on the cake was being offered a seat as someone has failed to show up, sitting nonetheless behind supermodel Erin O'Connor.
The show itself was thrilling and completely mesmerising. There wasn't a single piece that I did't love, or didn't think I would wear myself. Above everything, I enjoyed the distinct British feel you always get from Burberry, the carried on through to Jake Bugg performing alongside the show (who was amazing live!)
The show ended, I left quickly in order to not get caught up in the sheer volume of people leaving, and take my place nearby to see who else I could spot. After being papped again, I was able to see a few of my blogging inspirations (e.g. Susie Bubble, InTheFrow), alongside the biggest number of 'celebrities' I've ever seen in such a short space of time, including Anna Wintour, Mario Testino, Naomi Campbell, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Ellie Goulding, Alexa Chung, Lily Donaldson and Tali Lennox to name a few.
oh hey Naomi
BEST. DAY. EVER.
This definitely won't be my last fashion week!
