London Fashion Weekend: Somerset House

I was invited to attend London Fashion Weekend by Elizabeth Arden. Is it part of LFW I hear you ask?

What is the difference between London Fashion Week and Vodafone London Fashion Weekend?

London Fashion Week is a trade event for fashion industry professionals who must register or be invited in order to attend. Vodafone London Fashion Weekend is the consumer event that follows directly on from London Fashion Week, using the same exhibition and catwalk venue. Vodafone London Fashion Weekend is essentially a designer shopping event, where members of the public can shop from designers of London Fashion Week calibre, from the high profile to the emerging, at reduced prices.

Upon arrival, we were greeted with a tasteful buffet breakfast. After a quick catchup with some other bloggers and the Elizabeth Arden team, we were taken to the E.A stand. Make up artists were on hand to offer makeovers and tips and Juicy Couture had it's very own stand with a Juicy model boy for people to oogle.

Surrounding the stands were dozens of accessory brand names such as Lola Rose and Anna Lou selling at discount prices. This year, a vintage section was set up. You can not deny that the London fashion pack has gone vintage crazy, original, cheap and special. Others brands included Elizabeth Lau, Muuba, Sass & Bide, Vivienne Westwood, DKNY the list goes on.....

After a spot of wandering around, it was time to take our seats for the catwalk which was presented by Grace Woodward.

I would urge anyone who has not yet been before to take a look next season. Tickets can be purchased online and anyone over the age of 18 can take part in the fun. We were sent of with goody bags containing goodies from Elizabeth Arden and Juicy Couture which I am looking forward to using!

If you missed it this season, LFWend will be back in February when LFW kicks off all over again.
