#LFW: a twitter tale

While I’ve been acquainting myself with the inside of a not-so-glamorous gym to get fashionably trim, over the last week real fashionistas have been busying themselves with a little thing called London Fashion Week.

: The LFW Daily Newspaper, 23rd Feb

I’d love to have been one of them, documenting the goings on from the catwalks’ front rows, but unfortunately my bloggersphere influence has not quite reached the level where glossy show invites are dropping through my letterbox (one day!). Never fear though, thanks to the medium of Twitter we can all now share in the highs and lows of the ‘gruelling’ five days that will define my A/W 2011 cravings. Any fashion bod worth the Louboutins on their feet is sharing their daily fashion lives with their avid followers, 140 characters at time.

In case you aren’t as much of a stalker/wannabe as me, my best twitter bits of #lfw 2011—straight from the mouths/hands of bloggers and fashion editors et al—are below. I hope you enjoy.

The start

LondonFashionWk:

The exhibition is open, the shows have started… www.londonfashionweek.co.uk has all you need, it’s hot!
#LFW is the top Twitter trend in London! What a start!

The transport

Love people’s expressions when they see the Orla Kiely Citreon car… Zipping over to Topshop now… Yes, I ‘zip’ in this car, not speed

(You can see pics of Susie’s ride, on her blog: http://bit.ly/flwuRl. She can also be seen below (left), taking time out from the shows to give a masterclass on blogging from the front row to newbies like me at Topshop, Oxford Circus)

When will I ever learn…public transportation and fashion week don’t mix.

If I don’t survive this, remember me as the girl who rode her bike to fashion week. In her Erdem dress.

The outfits

jo_elvin:

I think my outfit must be fashion week-worthy because I’m bloody freezing.
