I start getting excited about London Fashion Week days before it starts. In fact, on the first day of New York Fashion Week, I was already thinking about London and what I'll be seeing there both on and off the runway. Here's a peek the events on my schedule you'll be reading about this week:
- Ossie Clark is relaunching for fall '08 with young local designer Avsh Alom Gur at the helm—the appointment was a shock to a lot of people in the industry, but I think Gur's languid 1930s sensibility could fit in beautifully with Ossie's iconic long-and-flowy dresses.
- Selfridges will be unveiling a "World of Stella" at its Oxford Street store, and the title alone set my heart racing. Rooms upon rooms of Stella McCartney dresses, denim, and her new line of lingerie—what could be more appealing?
- New York-based Brit Andrew Buckler, who opened his second store in SoHo two weeks ago, is opening his first in London with a special performance by the Paddingtons. If you want the perfect pair of boyfriend jeans (or really any borrowed-from-the-boys piece), look no further than Buckler. He's the best! —Jen Ford, Fashion News Director
