Wow, I’ve just experienced the whirlwind that is London Fashion Week first hand and what a week! I don’t even know where to begin… the glitz, the glamour, the fact I got photographed by Häagen-Dazs for my outfit choice! They were giving out minicups of ice cream at some of the fashion events and also snapping pictures of the best-dressed for their 'It’s Girls Time’ campaign'. I, it would appear, was one of them!
My brain is still trying to process the week’s events but two things I am clear about after the proceedings is that
A) I need a whole new wardrobe for the next Fashion Week and…
B) I really want to go to more global fashion events. It's not as if I have already looked into this BUT here is my run down of the runway for next season:
Hong Kong Fashion Week A/W 2012/2013
January (date to be confirmed)
As the largest annual fashion industry gathering in Asia, the fair hosts over 1,700 exhibitors from 24 countries and draws crowds of over 21,000 buyers from over 92 different countries – talk about global fashion! The event has steadily expanded its World Boutique section, which showcases designer labels from the U.S and Europe. Womenswear, menswear, swimwear, accessories, sportswear, lingerie and shoes will all be presented throughout the week. Phew.
Berlin Fashion Week A/W 2012/2013
January (date to be confirmed)
Germany's most progressive couturiers, including Kilian Kerner, Lala Berlin, Patrick Mohr, Perret Schaad, and Anja Gockel will showcase their collections during the 10th Mercedes-Benz Berlin Fashion Week, which will run concurrently with the capital's biggest street and urbanwear fair Bread & Butter. Sehr cool.
Haute Couture A/W 2012/2013
January (date to be confirmed)
Paris is the home to haute couture week. The week is reserved for the world's most dramatic fashion shows presenting out-of-this-world creations by designers such as Jean Paul Gaultier, Givenchy and Chanel. The field's most prestigious brands such as Boucheron, Cartier, Chaumet, and Van Cleef & Arpels now complement France's most storied couturiers.
São Paulo Fashion Week
January (date to be confirmed)
Started in 1996, São Paulo Fashion Week has evolved into the most important fashion event in Latin America. Expect to see catwalk shows by major Brazilian labels like Ricardo Almeida, as well as by luxury European brands like Versace. The most anticipated event of the week is by far the presentations of sexy Brazilian beachwear lines like Amir Slama's Rosa Cha. I wonder why…
Copenhagen Fashion Week A/W 2012/2013
February (date to be confirmed)
Northern Europe's largest fashion event draws some 60,000 designers, buyers, and press twice a year (every February and August). Danish fashion is known for its unique angle on design, innovation and aesthetics with a more modern approach to femininity and functionality, expressed in fresh silhouettes. Coupled with its leading trade fairs CPH Vision, Gallery and the Copenhagen International Fashion Fair, the Danish capital is quickly cementing its status as a global fashion hub.
New York Fashion Week A/W 2012/2013
February (date to be confirmed)
The event kicks off the women's ready-to-wear season in the four fashion capitals (the other three being London, Milan, and Paris which all follow on from one another), the most important time in the fashion half-year. American designers including Michael Kors, Alexander Wang, and Calvin Klein will all showcase their collections.
Tokyo Fashion Week A/W 2012/2013
March (date to be confirmed)
Japan's design stars including Rei Kawakubo (Comme des Garçons) or Yohji Yamamoto have long been showing their collections outside Tokyo, but the city remains a breeding ground for exciting, up-and-coming talent made in Japan. Japan Fashion Week will be held concurrently with its prestigious global fashion fair Livingroom in Tokyo (March 22-24).
Australia Fashion Week S/S 2012/13
May (date to be confirmed)
Rosemount Australian Fashion Week is the Asia Pacific's premier stop on the international fashion week circuit joining Paris, Milan, New York and London. The five-day official schedule includes on-site collection shows held within state-of-the-art collection showrooms, off-site collection shows, The Gallery and The Presentation Suites at The Westin Sydney.
I’m just not sure how I’m going to afford a whole new wardrobe for each event…
