LFW Launch: Toni & Guy Catwalk Show

London Fashion Week launched the spring/summer 2012 campaign with a Toni & Guy ‘Hair Meets Wardrobe’ catwalk show at Somerset House on Thursday night.

The catwalk show was introduced by Naomi Campbell (I still can’t believe she’s 41!) and featured four signature looks: casual, glamour, creative and classic. Each signature look was personified with striking hair, make-up and outfits worn by the models.

I had no idea what to expect of this catwalk show. What would the theme be? What would the format be? Would fashion play a role? However, Toni & Guy seemed to really understand the correlation and importance between hair and fashion (despite a couple of debateable outfit choices on the catwalk, namely a pink-swimsuit with one-legged fringe trousers). It even inspired me to go and try a few of the looks at home.

The fash-pack party then continued at the Royal Hospital Club in Covent Garden, which involved expresso martinis, mini ice-creams and a whole lot of dancing. Let London Fashion Week commence!

Pick Me Up, Digital Art Exhibition, Somerset House

I recently attended the launch night of Pick Me Up,

the digital art exhibition at Somerset House.

It was the best exhibition that I have been to in a long time

and I'd highly recommend it to you all!

The exhibition featured twenty top digital artists,

whose work was on sale to buy there and then.

The work on display was both of a high quality and extremely varied.

I loved the live screen-printing demonstrations,

the fact that most of the artists were on hand to discuss their work

and the digital art medium,

and best of all the DJs hiding in various corners.

Visit Pick Me Up until 27 March.

Live screen-printing demonstrations

Artists working at exhibition, all artwork then went on sale that night.

Live feed of artists drawing on projector stream.
