What.A.Night! When I heard about Fashion Night Out, a global initiative by Vogue, I knew it would be an awesome night. As the list of London participants grew, so did my anticipation and it didn’t disappoint. As I stepped off the tube at Bond St, I could feel the buzz in the air and couldn’t help but covet well, pretty much everything people were wearing! I met up with my friends and headed to Selfridges for a make over by Dior, which was gorgeous.
I had to fight my way into Browns, there was a big crowd and an even bigger cloud of smoke outside. It was more than worth it though, I was served by none other than Marios Schwab!! He was doing his stint at the till. I was so in awe I could barely speak, but I did manage to get two signed tshirts!! Antonio Berardi was deep in conversation most of the time I was in the store, and Roksanda Illincic was giggling away with Jonathon Saunders. It was very surreal!
DSM was a bit dead by the time we got there, but my friend, who has just started her fashion design course, met one of her idols – Hussein Chalayan. I was pretty gobsmacked to have been in the same breathing space, but she could barely talk. Definite high point of the evening! I also stopped by the Anya Hindmarch store to have a which photoshoot with a bag, it was awesome it was a real mini studio and the photographer was hilarious! I’ll scan my picture soon 🙂 I also stopped off for some ultra cheesy snaps by a FNO sign…
All in all, it was such a fantastic evening, I was shattered and my feet were killin me but it was more than worth it. The girls and I discussed the night’s shenanigans on the train home and we all felt so fortunate to be there and be part of history. It’s the first time a global fashion event like this has been held, and I really hope it’s not the last.

Hi Reena, It was a great vibe on the streets indeed, there were so many places to go and so much to do… nice photos and it was a busy evening for you, wasn't it? The Dior make over, how fab!See you soon.

Ho fun! Great shoes!
Oh, I'm so glad you posted this! I was looking for a recap of the FNO London event. I was only there for a bit of it (mentioned it in my last post) and witnesse a bit of Browns mania. Amazing, wasn't it? Henry Holland was trying really hard to sell me a clutch 😉 I think they definitely had the best event. I heard from DSM the next day they hardly sold anything, which is a shame. Glad you had such a blast!
Those leather thigh highs look SO amazing!! Hope you're having a lovely day dear 🙂
Hi doll. I'm such a big fan of the London designers, so the Fashion's Night Out there would have been a dream for me! 🙂 thanks for sharing your experiences and fun pictures! Marios Schwab = swoony!
Sounds like it was a fabulous night. I think I would have died if I met Hussein Chalayan! The man is a living legend. Love those Topshop boots! Not in love with the price tag 🙁
Don't you hate that when something so amazing is SO unaffordable? This looks like so much fun though! I'm so jealous!
What a blast! Those boots are gorg, but seem a bit expensive for Topshop no?
Sounds like you had a great time and you are so lucky to see or even meet so many amazing people!
