15 things that will happen to you when you move to London.

1. Your bus will be on diversion.
2. You'll be standing at a bus stop for half an hour because some of the passengers have crossed the yellow line next to the driver's cabin and even though there is still plenty of space inside the bus, the driver will not let you in.
3. Getting to convince you to travel outisde of Zone 3 will be extremely difficult.
4. You'll eventually have to go outside of Zone 3 to get a cheap pint.

5. What is personal space in tube during rush hour?

6. You'll get stuck in a mile long queue for literally everything: coffee, pub, restaurant, cinema, galeries.
7. You'll get sick of tourists taking pictures of themselves standing next to red phone boxes when in fact...

8. Everything will be sooo far from your house.
9. You'll stop wearing Primark and start wearing Primarni.
10. You'll become obsessed with detailed travel planning.
11. You'll become a fan of the Queen and the way she doesn't give a fuck.

12. Your bike will be stolen because everyone needs one in London, not only you!
13. You'll get excited with One Direction's new album.
14. You'll mind the gap between the train and the platform and remember to take all your belongings with you (oh, and report anything suspicious to a member of staff).
15. You'll always be tired and in a hurry.

BUT, at the end of the day... nope, it still sucks.

EVENT | London Fashion Week AW14

Now that London Fashion Week AW14 has officially closed, I would like to share a few views of mine, especially given the fact that I attended one of the shows myself. There is no doubt that LFW is one of the most prestigious events in the industry, it definitely is a 'must attend' for people with any kind of connection to the fashion industry.

Luckily, I won an invitation to PREEN by Thornton Bregazzi show on Sunday 16th in National Theatre. I had two days until the show to collect the invitation from the other side of the city and most importantly decide what to wear! I finally decided not to overdress and chose a comfortable set. Having arrived to the venue, everything was so mind blowing to me. Guests arriving by luxurious limos or London Fashion Week vans, dozens of paparazzi looking for some luck and taking pictures of celebs, even the look of the runway. This was my first experience with such a high profile fashion event (actually with any fashion event cause I can't recall attending any) and I must admit that's even though it was pretty shocking to me, I still enjoyed it a lot. The most exciting moment of the event was probably meeting Olivia Palermo whom I didn't recognize at first which is such a shame especially that I knew her before. She looked absolutely stunning as she always does.

The actual show was quite short, it took up to twenty minutes which is usually the time that fashion shows last. The main theme of the show was Star Wars and it's a good thing that the organisers made sure that all the elements of it create a complete experience. The collection, the music, and the space's design, all stuck to the same theme. The team also took care about the WOW factor which was very simple and obvious but also entertaining and unexpected. When the show was over and everyone headed to the exit, a group of star troopers showed up and everyone started taking pictures with them which was very funny to look at. What a good idea to complete the show and make it memorable! I'm not going to evaluate the collection as I don't feel I am the right person to do it, however I must say that I loved the tangerine coat and the metallic green parka. I wouldn't wear a blouse with Darth Vader printed on it and I don't like the idea of it. I think the overall show was very successful and well planned. The only thing that needs improvements is lack of directions to the entrance of the show which was necessary as many guests got confused.

Living in the UK, I had unexpectedly imbued with its culture so I was very much looking forward to see the Burberry Prorsum show and of course the AW collection. It's THE show that everyone is looking forward to and creates the most buzz in the media because of all the attending celebs. First of all, only very few people (out of all the rest who wishes to be) are lucky enough to be invited to attend Burberry's show so it's a brilliant idea that London Fashion Week is live-streaming majority of its shows so that everyone can see them. Secondly, I must mention how much I worship Christopher Bailey, the Chief Creative (and possibly the next CEO) of Burberry. I love the way he combines tradition and innovation. Every single collection captures what's so characteristic for Burberry but also adds a hint of novelty by creating new patterns, cuts and colours. Pure perfection! Judging by the clues, I knew I would love this season's collection, I am just still not over the fact how amazing it was. What I most long for from this collection is definitely the new model of bag - Bloomsbury which will be available in 40 different colours and it's one of the most beautiful bag I've ever seen.

I totally loved both PREEN and Burberry Prorsum shows. Hopefully, this September I'll have a chance to see London Fashion Week from the production side. I'm very much looking forward to it.
