It's a great event for any fashion lover, with lots of designer shopping, events and catwalks on offer.
Alice and I booked "Shop and the Lot" tickets, which gave us access to the shopping areas, talks from industry insiders, a goody bag and we got to see a trend catwalk which was so cool. I may never be F-Row again haha!
The show covered four main trends; Pretty in Pink, Back to Nature, Shape Up and Victoriana.
Pretty In Pink: This feminine trend would normally conjure up images of S/S fashion, however this trend has been adjusted for the cooler months with pastel coats, hot pink knits and luxurious fur. See some of my favourite pics below.
Back To Nature: The clothing from this trend focused on a lot of opulent shades, rich purples, earthy browns and deep greens, all of which are great for autumn and really wearable. Again, there was a lot of fur and texture used to create these looks.
Shape Up: Shape up was all about bold prints and bright shades. This is a really graphic trend and a real continuation of the print revival we've been seeing over the past few seasons.
Victoriana: This was possibly one of my favourite trends. Demure, chic tailoring with sleek silhouettes and a beautiful use of texture. Brocades and lace really complement the high necklines and long sleeves.
If you do get the opportunity this weekend (19th-22nd September) it is worth going along. You can buy tickets once you get there, but as it's such a popular event, you might be safest booking tickets online before you go.
There's loads of interesting things to do, even if you can't afford to do much shopping. A particular favourite was the Canon 360 photo studio, where they take a 360 degree image of you so you can see all angles...
Here's mine and Alice's:
I also bought myself a Kate Sheridan pouch and House of Harlow necklace at a great discount so if you love shopping, this is a good place for discounts.
