London Fashion Week was short – 3 days – but so sweet. And how could it be otherwise, when Mulberry asks you to join them for the show, for an interview with their new Creative Director Johnny Coca, and makes sure you are not any piece to wear short during your stay. Bags, shoes, leather leg warmers – yes really – and so many beautiful AW16 pieces. I am absolutely, positively, 100% sure I could not have had a better London Fashion Week… And it wasn’t even my first time…
London Fashion Week was actually the first fashion week I ever attended. At the time I was so extremely excited and nervous about this whole thing – like a true Fashion Week virgin – and spotting my favorite bloggers from back then was an absolute highlight of the week. The shows weren’t really my thing yet, simply because I didn’t have access to the ones I wanted to see. Which brings me actually to a very important point, the core to being able to do what I do and the way I do it, staying 100% genuine to what I LOVE. Back then I did go to shows I didn’t truly love, but street style had just started then, so those moments around the shows at Somerset House did mean something. Showing your face etc. This has obviously changed over time, but I can truly say it still makes me so proud and happy every time I receive an invite from my favorite designers. I never take any of this for granted!
So when I received the question if I wanted to join the team this season in London, for the Mulberry SS17 show, I was over the moon. Finally I was at Mulberry, a brand I always had a special connection with…
