On Friday we went to London Fashion Week to look at people street style and hopefully to get into some shows. Previously, LFW has been held at Somerset House but this year it was moved to Brewer Street Car park in Soho. I think they moved it here because soho is an urban area and the car park is quite an edgy show space.there are also lots of shops in the area which encourages people, especially tourist to spend money shopping.
However, I found that the venue wasn't a suitable place for an event as big as LFW. There wasn't enough space, people were crowded and shoved into small spaces and the roads near it were congested with traffic.
Unfortunately it was practically impossible to get into a show without a ticket. We went on the first day of LFW and with it being s new venue I think everyone was too stressed to even think about anyone who didn't really matter, I.e. a group of fashion students without tickets.
Luckily we were able to see lots of people wearing the most amazing outfits so I took lots of photos which I'll be able to use as inspiration for this project and others that I do in the future.
Also me and a couple of friends managed to sneak past security and get into the designer showrooms. I saw some beautiful clothes, met loads of designers and got a lot of business cards.
