London Fashion Weekend

London is known as being one of the most fashionable cities in the world and at the end of February, a not-to-be-missed occasion appears at the capital.

The yearly London Fashion Week is one of the most fervently estimated events in the calendar for the rich and famous.

Though, for those who do not have millions in the bank or a celebrity status, London Fashion Weekend is the perfect solution if they love to see models swagger their stuff on the catwalk and stare in wonder at the stunning creations from some of the world’s most famous design houses.

Held at Somerset House between February 25th – 28th, a special sale offers all manner of discounts from designers such as Emma Cook, American Retro, Luella and Lulu Guinness, who newly exposed to style that she gets many of her ideas when she is in the bath.

Beauty specialists will also be on hand to guarantee that those staying at hotels in London have the perfect hair and makeup to accompany their latest purchases.

In addition, guests can take at seat in the official British Fashion Council catwalk and enjoy a professional show demonstrating some of the top trends for 2010.

This could be the just the right chance for fashionistas to hunt down unique samples and one-off products, as well as past and current stock at special knock-down prices.

Auckland will get its very own edition of the successful Melbourne Fashion festival in March.

The event will focus on the public rather than the fashion industry, and will have collection shows each day in the festival, group shows each evening, and free events around the city.

Fashion Festival organizers expect the festival will create a buzz around New Zealand’s fashion industry by motivating sales and giving the local fashion industry more publicity.

The show will encourage in-season collections and will set the bar for what can be expected in years to come.

In 2010, Fashion Festival will launch with a fashion show and party at a central city venue on March 16, followed by a designer garage sale.

Collaboration with Melbourne Fashion Festival has been confirmed and the Auckland event has been timed so it does not collide with the Australian event.
