First day of London Fashion Week and I was offered champagne before 10am, yes, I love it. Fashion week is brilliant. People can say whatever they want about ‘fashion people’, but Somerset house was full of wonderfully dressed, creative, and amazing people.

I went to Corrie Nielsen’s collection and it was brilliant, any other show will find it hard to top it. The American designer moved to London in 2000 ,but her collection was inspired by Scotland and it takes inspiration from Vivienne Westwood. Though it wouldn’t be fair to say her clothes are not original. It is a nod to Westwood. The show was set to bagpipes. A strong Scottish theme in reference to the designers roots.

There was a lot of structure, the clothes were grand and there was lots of tartan. I loved the hats and the fascinators and the veils covering the models faces. This was grand, statement clothing. I would have bought the entire collection if my bank balance would allow.

Nielsen says her inspiration was “My Scottish great, great, great grandfather John S. Burns who emigrated from Scotland to the United States about the same time as the Revolutionary War; he settled in Arkansas. I’m also inspired by Scottish clans that produced unique hand-woven tartans representing a particular family name, as well as medieval English and Scottish forms of dress and lifestyle.”

And stylish Frost writers Keshini Misha and Kate Hollowood looked glam in the press lounge….
