London Fashion Week Guide Part 2: The Phase Eight Team's Four Fashionable things you should do if you don't have a show ticket
London Fashion Week is coming our way and it’s time
to get planning on what you and friends are going to participate throughout the
week. Either that maybe either doing the following things I’ve highlighted in
the first post of the blog’s series ‘LFW Guide’ or even The Phase Eight teams Four
fashionable guide. Either way make sure you’ve got your outfits sorted for
#fashionfridays to your schedule for the week.
This month the glitterati will be swooping upon
London soon as people head to the capital for the biggest week in the fashion
calendar, London Fashion Week. London has such a huge influence on fashion and
so it is not surprising that this is one of the highest profile events in the
world. Designers from all over the place come to show their treats for 2014 and
not to mention all the celebrities, and industry insiders that flock to London
too. Unfortunately even though it is not as exclusive as everyone thinks, it is
darn well difficult to grab show tickets. However just because you don’t have a
ticket doesn’t mean you can’t experience one of my favourite events of the
year.
Four things to do in London if you don’t have a
show ticket
1. Head down to Somerset House
One of the best parts of LFW is the sheer amount of
people watching you can get done. After all, many bloggers and journalists have
made a living from catching unique looks on the street. You can find
inspiration without heading to a single show, and who knows, maybe you will get
snapped by the next Scott Shuman. Also, immediately following the shows at Somerset
House it will be turned into an exclusive shopping venue with catwalks shows,
beauty advice, pop up shops and talks from big industry leaders. Although
remember you will need tickets for this.
2. Visit Oxford Street
Stores on and around Oxford Street are also getting
involved in the London Fashion Week action as there are lots of free and
exciting fashion-focused events around the street. Phase
Eight are planning something
special at the James Street store so keep your eyes peeled, plus loads more
stores will be putting on something unique. From fashion talks to new collections,
you can experience fashion week without even setting foot near Somerset House.
3. Fashion Film Festival
In celebration of LFW there will be a free pop-up
cinema screen in St Martin’s Courtyard, Covent Garden. The line-up of films
include; The September Issue, Grey Gardens and Zoolander. These will be
screened outside in the courtyard as part of the silent cinema so if you fancy
catching a film I suggest having a look at the timetable. Tickets are available
from the St Martin’s Courtyard website and there will also be ones at the
screening too.
4. Cocktails in Mayfair
The Mayfair Hotel is the official hotel of LFW
which explains the special events and cocktails that will be pouring out of the
hotel. Apparently they are having their own shoe bar with each cocktail named
after a few famous heels from Mary Jane’s to Velvet Mules.
