0:00:06 > 0:00:08Hi, I'm Grace Victory,

0:00:13 > 0:00:16And my message is pretty clear.

0:00:16 > 0:00:20I'm a size 16 and I really want other girls, even boys out there,

0:00:20 > 0:00:23to feel comfortable and confident with who they are.

0:00:23 > 0:00:26So I'm so excited to be vlogging today

0:00:26 > 0:00:29and taking you with me to London Fashion Week.

0:00:29 > 0:00:31Oh, my God. It's going to be amazing.

0:00:31 > 0:00:36I'm good to go behind the scenes, go on the catwalk, celeb-spot as well.

0:00:36 > 0:00:37I just cannot wait.

0:00:37 > 0:00:39Right, I've got to go,

0:00:39 > 0:00:41but if you want to see the latest trends on the catwalk,

0:00:41 > 0:00:44keep on watching and I'm going to be teaching you how to rock them

0:00:44 > 0:00:46straight from the high street.

0:00:46 > 0:00:48Got to go. Bye!

0:00:50 > 0:00:52- Simon!- Yeah?

0:00:52 > 0:00:55Need your help now, because I've got to get stuff done

0:00:55 > 0:00:57and I'm late, as always.

0:00:57 > 0:01:02I need my powder, brush, my lipstick. Please.

0:01:02 > 0:01:04Lipstick, powder, brush.

0:01:04 > 0:01:08- So, Simon is my boyfriend. - The one and only.

0:01:08 > 0:01:12- It's not just like this random boy... in my house.- The best boyfriend.

0:01:12 > 0:01:15And he helps me with life, basically.

0:01:15 > 0:01:16- And...- Make-up.

0:01:16 > 0:01:19..he's been in my videos before and, like, helped with my make-up.

0:01:19 > 0:01:22And you can contour, can't you?

0:01:22 > 0:01:23I'm getting there.

0:01:24 > 0:01:26You missed a bit.

0:01:26 > 0:01:27Go on, then.

0:01:28 > 0:01:32- Just one nice...- No, my eyebrows! Oh, my God, do not do that.

0:01:32 > 0:01:36Right, bronzer... and then I need this...

0:01:36 > 0:01:40- as well.- What does this do? - Just have some.

0:01:40 > 0:01:41It sets your face in place

0:01:41 > 0:01:44and it's good for, like, a refresh throughout the day.

0:01:44 > 0:01:45Yeah, so, I'm ready now.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48I just need to, erm,

0:01:48 > 0:01:49put this on -

0:01:49 > 0:01:52this is my statement coat.

0:01:52 > 0:01:54Do you like it?

0:01:54 > 0:01:58It's kind of like Hugh Hefner-esque type... Do you like it?

0:01:58 > 0:01:59No, I love it.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01You looked at it like, "You're wearing that?!"

0:02:01 > 0:02:03- Reversible. - Yeah, it's from H&M. 50 quid.

0:02:03 > 0:02:06So you guys need to get out - got to get changed.

0:02:08 > 0:02:09Go. Go! Bye!

0:02:17 > 0:02:20So a few months ago I did the Cosmo shoot.

0:02:20 > 0:02:23It was The Curve Edit for Evans.

0:02:23 > 0:02:26It was just one of the best things I've ever done, I loved it.

0:02:26 > 0:02:29This is me here. I look very different.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32I had, like, a black straight-hair wig,

0:02:32 > 0:02:34skinny jeans, and I had these heels.

0:02:34 > 0:02:37I kept falling through the wood on Brighton Pier.

0:02:37 > 0:02:39Which was not fun. But it was so good.

0:02:39 > 0:02:41Sometimes I can't believe that's me.

0:02:41 > 0:02:43It's crazy.

0:02:43 > 0:02:46I guess I never knew that I'd actually get here.

0:02:46 > 0:02:51I kind of had a difficult childhood and, like, my teenage years,

0:02:51 > 0:02:54so to go through that and then suddenly be in magazines modelling

0:02:54 > 0:02:58and strutting my stuff, it's crazy, like, the journey that I've been on.

0:02:58 > 0:03:01It blows my mind every time I do, like, fun things.

0:03:11 > 0:03:12Amazing!

0:03:17 > 0:03:19Take a look.

0:03:19 > 0:03:24So we're outside the Brewer Street car park.

0:03:24 > 0:03:28And this is where the hub of Fashion Week is taking place,

0:03:28 > 0:03:30and it is crazy.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32There's, like, queues for everything.

0:03:32 > 0:03:37There's paps and people taking photos, bloggers I think.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39Just people walking by.

0:03:40 > 0:03:42I'm scared!

0:03:42 > 0:03:44Right, let's get in.

0:03:46 > 0:03:48While the crowds hover outside,

0:03:48 > 0:03:51hoping to get a ticket to one of the first shows of the weekend

0:03:51 > 0:03:53by Turkish-born designer Bora Aksu,

0:03:53 > 0:03:56I've been given access all areas.

0:03:58 > 0:04:00Right, so I'm here.

0:04:00 > 0:04:02My first show is Bora Aksu.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05He's known for elegance, seductiveness,

0:04:05 > 0:04:07just really beautiful pieces.

0:04:07 > 0:04:09And I'm backstage and I haven't been here before,

0:04:09 > 0:04:12so I actually can't quite believe it. I'm so excited.

0:04:19 > 0:04:22And this is where all the models will do all the quick changing.

0:04:22 > 0:04:23Yup.

0:04:23 > 0:04:27- As you can see, it's quite manic at the moment.- Yeah.

0:04:27 > 0:04:30Let's go through here and I'll show you make-up.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33- All the models should be here by now, but...- Some running late!

0:04:33 > 0:04:35- Some are running late. - Lost somewhere.

0:04:37 > 0:04:38I love it. Crazy.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40- Crazy, it is crazy. - It's, like, amazing.

0:04:40 > 0:04:42Do you want to have a look at the collection?

0:04:42 > 0:04:44Yeah, take us through.

0:04:46 > 0:04:49- This is very much kind of classic Bora.- Yeah, yeah.

0:04:49 > 0:04:53It's kind of very feminine but a bit tomboyish at the same time.

0:04:53 > 0:04:57Yeah, it's really nice, I love the shorts. Kind of high-waisted.

0:04:57 > 0:05:00Yeah, and I haven't actually seen the collection myself!

0:05:00 > 0:05:02I love the colours in that.

0:05:02 > 0:05:04Yeah, especially, I think, for this season,

0:05:04 > 0:05:08there's going to be quite a lot of the peaches and pinks.

0:05:08 > 0:05:10Yeah, coral tones coming through.

0:05:10 > 0:05:14This piece in particular I think is absolutely stunning.

0:05:14 > 0:05:18The crochet, which is on the high street at the moment.

0:05:18 > 0:05:22Net, sheer panels. And also, so on-trend, lace-up peep-toe shoes,

0:05:22 > 0:05:24which are amazing.

0:05:24 > 0:05:28Hi, nice to meet you, thank you so much. How is today going?

0:05:28 > 0:05:32- How are you feeling?- It's going fine. It started a bit of stressful

0:05:32 > 0:05:35- because this is the first time using this venue.- Yeah.

0:05:35 > 0:05:39Move over to this side, because it's not a straightforward catwalk!

0:05:39 > 0:05:40Concentrate.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42So you're a London-based designer.

0:05:42 > 0:05:43- Yeah.- Turkish.- Yes.

0:05:43 > 0:05:46What inspired you to make this collection this year?

0:05:46 > 0:05:48I usually like to do my collections

0:05:48 > 0:05:50really through personal stories or memories,

0:05:50 > 0:05:54and this time I looked back into my childhood memories.

0:05:54 > 0:05:58And the garden, I always remember going in that in mornings,

0:05:58 > 0:06:01and the colours, it was almost like, as a child I see it as...

0:06:01 > 0:06:04- Yeah, sunsets and stuff. - ..magical gardens.

0:06:04 > 0:06:08And that colour's actually inspired me to do the collection.

0:06:08 > 0:06:09It's very summery and fresh.

0:06:22 > 0:06:23I thought it was sensational.

0:06:25 > 0:06:27I think Bora's signature

0:06:27 > 0:06:30is a kind of folkloric craftsmanship.

0:06:31 > 0:06:33And sometimes it's crochet, or embroidery,

0:06:33 > 0:06:35or beadwork, lace,

0:06:35 > 0:06:39but it always has a slightly folkloric feel to it.

0:06:39 > 0:06:43And it's very feminine, but it's not kind of cutesy.

0:06:43 > 0:06:45I mean, there were pieces there, you know,

0:06:45 > 0:06:47that a woman of any age would wear.

0:06:53 > 0:06:55This was just delightful.

0:06:55 > 0:06:58And I love the way you started with those icy pastels

0:06:58 > 0:07:02and then suddenly these firework colours.

0:07:02 > 0:07:05Yellow and shocking pink and orange.

0:07:05 > 0:07:06Beautiful.

0:07:11 > 0:07:14That was an amazing show, I feel totally inspired.

0:07:14 > 0:07:16I'm going to go and blog about it right now, so follow me.

0:07:19 > 0:07:22The go-to destination for bloggers during London Fashion Week

0:07:22 > 0:07:24is The Apartment.

0:07:24 > 0:07:25This is where hard-working bloggers

0:07:25 > 0:07:27grab something to eat and drink between shows,

0:07:27 > 0:07:29get their make-up touched up,

0:07:29 > 0:07:32and report on the latest looks trending from the catwalk.

0:07:33 > 0:07:37"Loved the Bora Aksu show.

0:07:37 > 0:07:41"All those beautiful colours."

0:07:41 > 0:07:42Tweet.

0:07:43 > 0:07:46The highlights for me were the bright orange

0:07:46 > 0:07:49and the bright purple-pink - like a fuchsia colour -

0:07:49 > 0:07:52was just amazing, especially for my skin tone.

0:07:52 > 0:07:53The only problem is,

0:07:53 > 0:07:57obviously this stock isn't out until, you know, next year.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00And the other slight snag is that,

0:08:00 > 0:08:04obviously, myself, and probably you guys,

0:08:04 > 0:08:07can't afford to shop at Bora.

0:08:07 > 0:08:09But I'm going to show you how to create that look

0:08:09 > 0:08:11but with high-street prices.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17If you'd have asked me years ago

0:08:17 > 0:08:18how quickly will a show that we've just seen

0:08:18 > 0:08:20get to the high street,

0:08:20 > 0:08:21traditionally it's spring/summer '16,

0:08:21 > 0:08:24so you would be seeing it drop in March.

0:08:24 > 0:08:27But, of course, what happens now, I've just been tweeting pictures,

0:08:27 > 0:08:31so somebody can see these beautiful kind of lace-embroidered dresses now

0:08:31 > 0:08:33and probably, the reality is, someone like a Topshop, or a Zara,

0:08:33 > 0:08:35or another high-street retailer,

0:08:35 > 0:08:39will probably do something very similar way before then.

0:08:39 > 0:08:42So you'll actually start to see it - I couldn't give you an exact date -

0:08:42 > 0:08:44but very, very soon it will filter through.

0:08:44 > 0:08:47New Look's always a good place to find stuff.

0:08:47 > 0:08:50Now, that is a bit of Bora.

0:08:50 > 0:08:54The detail, the kind of crochet textures.

0:08:54 > 0:08:55That as well.

0:08:57 > 0:09:00I mean, that's a bit more kind of flirty, I quite like that.

0:09:01 > 0:09:04That is definitely not Bora.

0:09:04 > 0:09:05With the high street,

0:09:05 > 0:09:08they'll use the inspiration of the catwalk,

0:09:08 > 0:09:11and that happens everywhere now.

0:09:11 > 0:09:13The designers see that as a flattering thing.

0:09:13 > 0:09:16There will be a girl who will buy that Prada suit

0:09:16 > 0:09:19and there will be a girl who will buy

0:09:19 > 0:09:22a similar-looking suit from the high street.

0:09:22 > 0:09:25This isn't Bora, but fringe is really in this season -

0:09:25 > 0:09:28that whole '70s vibe, which I absolutely love.

0:09:28 > 0:09:30Fringe galore.

0:09:30 > 0:09:32I told you it was on-trend.

0:09:32 > 0:09:33What you see now is,

0:09:33 > 0:09:36yes, you've got all this high-end fashion,

0:09:36 > 0:09:39you'll see it filter down to an audience

0:09:39 > 0:09:42who can then kind of interpret it in their own way.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44Now, this is Bora.

0:09:44 > 0:09:46You've got to pose with the bag, you know?

0:09:46 > 0:09:49Can you rock the bag, Grace?

0:09:51 > 0:09:53Are working it, Grace? You are. Is it worth the price?

0:09:53 > 0:09:55£27.99.

0:09:55 > 0:09:57Quite like that.

0:09:57 > 0:10:00Fashion really has a responsibility to filter down,

0:10:00 > 0:10:02because everything is so democratic now.

0:10:02 > 0:10:05I mean, fashion really shouldn't be for the elite,

0:10:05 > 0:10:07and actually isn't for the elite.

0:10:07 > 0:10:09And, actually, I always laugh about high fashion

0:10:09 > 0:10:10because it's like the older you get,

0:10:10 > 0:10:12you're more likely to be able to afford it,

0:10:12 > 0:10:15but a lot of the younger girls, like our readers,

0:10:15 > 0:10:16it looks amazing on them,

0:10:16 > 0:10:19so you need something like the high street to deliver that to them.

0:10:19 > 0:10:22So I love this belt.

0:10:22 > 0:10:23This kind of detail,

0:10:23 > 0:10:26the flower, the colours, is very, very Bora.

0:10:26 > 0:10:27So I think...

0:10:27 > 0:10:29I'm going to get that.

0:10:34 > 0:10:36So I'm all shopped out and I've got all my goodies,

0:10:36 > 0:10:39ready to help you nail that Bora look.

0:10:51 > 0:10:54# Keep going, keep going Keep going

0:10:54 > 0:10:57# Get up, get up, get up Get up, get up

0:10:57 > 0:10:59# Get up, get up, get up get up, get up

0:10:59 > 0:11:01# Get up, get up, get up Get up, get up

0:11:01 > 0:11:04# Get up, get up, get up Get up, get up

0:11:04 > 0:11:06# Sit back down. #

0:11:06 > 0:11:09So it's day two, I'm super-tired from yesterday, which was amazing.

0:11:09 > 0:11:10But I can't complain,

0:11:10 > 0:11:13because I could be back at home working in my office,

0:11:13 > 0:11:16but instead I'm off to see one of my favourite designers,

0:11:16 > 0:11:17a presentation by Markus Lupfer.

0:11:24 > 0:11:26Markus Lupfer we absolutely love.

0:11:26 > 0:11:28His knitwear is fantastic.

0:11:28 > 0:11:31Despite the fact he's German, he's actually picked up on

0:11:31 > 0:11:34that kind of almost quintessential English sort of kitsch.

0:11:34 > 0:11:37But you can always tell the true Markus Lupfer product,

0:11:37 > 0:11:39and it's very distinctive.

0:11:39 > 0:11:41Yeah, it's just got that tongue-in-cheek

0:11:41 > 0:11:43kind of kitschness to it,

0:11:43 > 0:11:45which is on a luxury base.

0:11:46 > 0:11:50You love it. And the editor loves it, yeah.

0:11:50 > 0:11:53We have Markus Lupfer Day where we all wear our Markus Lupfer jumpers.

0:11:55 > 0:11:57I can't have a bit of glitz and glamour without Markus,

0:11:57 > 0:11:59so it's perfect.

0:11:59 > 0:12:01And it's a pretty-girl vibe,

0:12:01 > 0:12:05but also a little bit tomboyish as well with the flats.

0:12:05 > 0:12:07Just the kind of crazy prints

0:12:07 > 0:12:09and the kind of fun aspects

0:12:09 > 0:12:11that he always puts out every season.

0:12:11 > 0:12:12It's just always very beautiful.

0:12:12 > 0:12:16It's always really intricate, like, embroidery, beading, sparkles.

0:12:16 > 0:12:18And we like the sunglasses a lot.

0:12:18 > 0:12:20The sunglasses are fantastic, yeah.

0:12:22 > 0:12:25Markus - strong, edgy, individual designer

0:12:25 > 0:12:28who is one of London's favourites.

0:12:28 > 0:12:30All the fashion press love him.

0:12:30 > 0:12:32He's one of the darlings.

0:12:32 > 0:12:34It's one of those things that, you know, you want to go,

0:12:34 > 0:12:36you want to see the show,

0:12:36 > 0:12:38you want to see the presentation.

0:12:38 > 0:12:41So if you haven't seen a presentation before, this is it.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43Kind of a static catwalk.

0:12:43 > 0:12:45The models are the art and they don't really move,

0:12:45 > 0:12:47which is kind of weird but exciting.

0:12:52 > 0:12:54Some bomber jackets at the back,

0:12:54 > 0:12:56they're always in,

0:12:56 > 0:12:59with the gold detail, floral print here.

0:12:59 > 0:13:01This is a really nice floral print.

0:13:01 > 0:13:03I haven't seen a floral print like that before.

0:13:03 > 0:13:05I'm going to get a picture.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09Love that.

0:13:09 > 0:13:12Loving the sheer material here.

0:13:12 > 0:13:17Plimsolls with, like, a floral print over the top, which is amazing.

0:13:17 > 0:13:18We've got a lot of embroidery.

0:13:18 > 0:13:23And the main colour, as far as I can see, is black.

0:13:23 > 0:13:25So, for Markus, black is back.

0:13:25 > 0:13:28And I'm excited, because I always wear black.

0:13:28 > 0:13:31When I design, I have, like,

0:13:31 > 0:13:33- this little story in my head.- Yeah.

0:13:33 > 0:13:37So, for example, this time, I was in imagining this girl,

0:13:37 > 0:13:38she is in the desert,

0:13:38 > 0:13:40and suddenly it starts raining

0:13:40 > 0:13:44and it's like... Suddenly the flowers are coming up

0:13:44 > 0:13:47and she stands in this field of flowers.

0:13:47 > 0:13:49And so that whole collection

0:13:49 > 0:13:54is based on this harsh and hard land on one side,

0:13:54 > 0:13:57- and those pretty flowers on the other.- It's amazing.

0:13:57 > 0:14:00I liked the coat with the flowers on, the sheer coat.

0:14:00 > 0:14:03- It was just... Oh, my God, amazing.- Thank you.

0:14:03 > 0:14:06So if you could describe kind of like Markus Lupfer's vibe,

0:14:06 > 0:14:08because, obviously, your collection changes,

0:14:08 > 0:14:11do you kind of have, like, three words that describe

0:14:11 > 0:14:14what you kind of always think about when you're creating something?

0:14:14 > 0:14:16- Or does it always change? - It changes a little bit,

0:14:16 > 0:14:19but there's always something which I think is important.

0:14:19 > 0:14:22It's like, to feel at ease,

0:14:22 > 0:14:24to feel good at it

0:14:24 > 0:14:26and to make you feel special.

0:14:26 > 0:14:29The other thing is chic but it's also casual.

0:14:29 > 0:14:31It's that balance between the two,

0:14:31 > 0:14:33and it's like you can wear it during the day,

0:14:33 > 0:14:35you can wear it in the evening.

0:14:35 > 0:14:38It's always a bit like two-in-one.

0:14:38 > 0:14:40Transition pieces, yeah.

0:14:40 > 0:14:42- Yeah. I love that.- Yeah, you could just put it on and you're like,

0:14:42 > 0:14:44- "Yes, I look amazing."- Oh, yes.

0:14:44 > 0:14:46Oh, amazing. Thank you so much for talking to me today.

0:14:46 > 0:14:50- Thank you so much, thanks for coming.- No, it's fine, love it!

0:14:50 > 0:14:54That was amazing. I made a new best friend.

0:14:54 > 0:14:57He was so welcoming, he was so sweet, took a selfie for Twitter.

0:14:57 > 0:15:00He was, like, just like a normal person.

0:15:00 > 0:15:03It was just incredible and I'm buzzing. Day made.

0:15:03 > 0:15:04Markus Lupfer's a great designer.

0:15:04 > 0:15:06I mean, we've worked with him in the past,

0:15:06 > 0:15:08we've done a collaboration.

0:15:08 > 0:15:10But I think what's so amazing about his pieces

0:15:10 > 0:15:11are that they are really accessible.

0:15:11 > 0:15:13Anybody can wear them.

0:15:13 > 0:15:15You can kind of pair it with a pair of jeans,

0:15:15 > 0:15:17especially his jumpers and his T-shirts.

0:15:17 > 0:15:21So, I love Asos, Missguided and other online stores.

0:15:21 > 0:15:24Pretty budget, but they have such amazing pieces.

0:15:24 > 0:15:26A lot of inspired stuff from the catwalk.

0:15:26 > 0:15:29So I'm going to look on Asos first

0:15:29 > 0:15:34for an outfit that's kind of Markus Lupfer-inspired.

0:15:34 > 0:15:36I'm going to go for, like, a sports-luxe vibe.

0:15:36 > 0:15:40It's comfortable, it's very, very him, and it's just easy to get.

0:15:40 > 0:15:43So these harem pants I think I'm going to get.

0:15:43 > 0:15:45They've got my size. I'm going to get those.

0:15:47 > 0:15:48Trousers in the bag,

0:15:48 > 0:15:50I'm hitting Carnaby Street in Soho,

0:15:50 > 0:15:54the original shopping mecca for all those funky fashionistas,

0:15:54 > 0:15:56to see what else I can find.

0:15:58 > 0:16:01So I'm bound to find a Markus Lupfer-inspired look in here.

0:16:01 > 0:16:04It's Monkey, and it's my favourite high-street store.

0:16:04 > 0:16:07Not many people know about Monkey, but the ones who do love it

0:16:07 > 0:16:11because it's affordable and so on-trend.

0:16:11 > 0:16:14So I'm going to have a look around and see what I can find.

0:16:14 > 0:16:16Oh, I like bomber jackets

0:16:16 > 0:16:17and a metallic skirt.

0:16:17 > 0:16:19If you could style that up...

0:16:19 > 0:16:23props to you, because I could not pull that off!

0:16:23 > 0:16:26I like these, but they're not... I think I could do better.

0:16:26 > 0:16:28What do you think? Do I look good?

0:16:28 > 0:16:30Oh, look, gold - I love gold.

0:16:33 > 0:16:35Oh, my God, yes.

0:16:35 > 0:16:37This is very Markus Lupfer.

0:16:37 > 0:16:40The print, the kind of bomber jacket,

0:16:40 > 0:16:42sports-luxe vibe.

0:16:42 > 0:16:46This, the kind of geometric print.

0:16:46 > 0:16:47Silver.

0:16:47 > 0:16:50I love that.

0:16:50 > 0:16:52So I found my glasses, these are perfect for Lupfer.

0:16:55 > 0:16:58In the spirit of Markus' street-style vibe,

0:16:58 > 0:17:00I'm going to model his look for you

0:17:00 > 0:17:02right here in Carnaby Street.

0:17:03 > 0:17:04# Express yourself

0:17:08 > 0:17:11# You don't ever need help

0:17:11 > 0:17:14# From nobody else

0:17:14 > 0:17:16# All you got to do now

0:17:18 > 0:17:20# Express yourself

0:17:24 > 0:17:25# Whatever you do

0:17:29 > 0:17:31# Do it good... #

0:17:34 > 0:17:37If there's one thing any savvy fashionista knows,

0:17:37 > 0:17:41it's that you can complete an outfit with just one killer designer item,

0:17:41 > 0:17:45and the designer showrooms at London Fashion Week are full of them.

0:17:45 > 0:17:47That is what you call bling.

0:17:47 > 0:17:49Oh, my God.

0:17:51 > 0:17:54I love it. Very, like...

0:17:54 > 0:17:57Big Bird.

0:17:57 > 0:17:59There's a thing called fashion maths,

0:17:59 > 0:18:01and basically that means, you know,

0:18:01 > 0:18:05you wear a high-street outfit - your jeans, your top, your blazer...

0:18:07 > 0:18:09..and then you kind of splurge

0:18:09 > 0:18:11on a timeless...

0:18:11 > 0:18:14kind of amazing piece.

0:18:14 > 0:18:18Now, I need, like, a Markus Lupfer-style bag.

0:18:18 > 0:18:20I love these.

0:18:20 > 0:18:24Like, pop-art kind of slogan,

0:18:24 > 0:18:25statement bags,

0:18:25 > 0:18:28that cost a lot but that last forever.

0:18:30 > 0:18:31So, this - this is it.

0:18:31 > 0:18:34This, this, this. Oh, my God.

0:18:34 > 0:18:38This is like a boarding-pass... clutch bag

0:18:38 > 0:18:41and it says, "First-class...I think".

0:18:41 > 0:18:44And that is me - because I can't afford first-class, and I wish I did!

0:18:44 > 0:18:46That is amazing.

0:18:46 > 0:18:48I absolutely love that.

0:18:53 > 0:18:54Gone are the days

0:18:54 > 0:18:56where people will just wear a head-to-toe catwalk look.

0:18:56 > 0:18:59It's much more about mixing, you know...

0:18:59 > 0:19:02a trainer with a Topshop jean with a Mulberry bag.

0:19:02 > 0:19:04That's the way girls are dressing.

0:19:04 > 0:19:07Hi, guys, can I talk to you about your outfits that you've worn today?

0:19:07 > 0:19:13Yeah. This, I bought it from H&M. But this is also vintage trousers.

0:19:13 > 0:19:14It's vintage and this is Topshop.

0:19:14 > 0:19:18Nice. Yeah, and this is obviously Chanel.

0:19:18 > 0:19:21The way the fashionistas dress, the way they style clothes,

0:19:21 > 0:19:24the way they put outfits together,

0:19:24 > 0:19:26is a really good way of showing a look

0:19:26 > 0:19:27and showcasing a look

0:19:27 > 0:19:30that's a lot more accessible than the designer's vision of it,

0:19:30 > 0:19:32or the designer's vision on the catwalk.

0:19:32 > 0:19:34This is Stella McCartney.

0:19:34 > 0:19:36- Amazing.- This is Monkey.

0:19:36 > 0:19:38- OK, I love Monkey.- Me too.

0:19:38 > 0:19:40- This is charity shop.- Yup.

0:19:40 > 0:19:43This is Vivienne Westwood and these are Swedish Hasbeens.

0:19:43 > 0:19:45I think it's really inspirational to see, as well,

0:19:45 > 0:19:48the diversity in nails and hair and make-up,

0:19:48 > 0:19:49which is really exciting.

0:19:49 > 0:19:52And you only really get that in London.

0:19:52 > 0:19:53If you go to New York,

0:19:53 > 0:19:56everyone is very glossy and very put-together,

0:19:56 > 0:19:59but in London you'll see lots of cool styles.

0:19:59 > 0:20:01Could I just ask who your fashion inspiration is

0:20:01 > 0:20:03and what you're wearing today?

0:20:03 > 0:20:07- Erm...I'm wearing my own designs.- OK.

0:20:07 > 0:20:10- And your shoes as well?- No. SHE LAUGHS

0:20:10 > 0:20:13The blazer. The shoes aren't mine. Vivienne Westwood are the shoes.

0:20:13 > 0:20:15- Nice.- The jewellery is mine. - You look amazing.- Thank you.

0:20:15 > 0:20:19Hi, sorry, could I just ask about your trainers?

0:20:19 > 0:20:21They're from Nike,

0:20:21 > 0:20:24and they are being released next week.

0:20:24 > 0:20:27And they are the Paris version, inspired by macaroons.

0:20:27 > 0:20:31- This is amazing, it's like a cape. - Yeah.- And is this, like, attached?

0:20:31 > 0:20:34- What is this contraption here? - No, this is attached to the top.

0:20:34 > 0:20:38OK, that's a top. Oh, OK. I get it, I get it.

0:20:38 > 0:20:40I really like your outfit, I really like this.

0:20:40 > 0:20:43- Oh, thanks, H&M this is from.- H&M?!

0:20:43 > 0:20:44- Yeah, 50 quid.- Nice meeting you.

0:20:44 > 0:20:47- You too, and your eyebrows. - Thank you.

0:20:48 > 0:20:51I'm off to one of the hottest tickets in town for London Fashion Week.

0:20:51 > 0:20:55It's the PPQ show, a kind of cool DJ vibe,

0:20:55 > 0:20:57and I've also got my boyfriend a ticket too. Let's go.

0:21:03 > 0:21:06# I'm in with the in-crowd

0:21:07 > 0:21:10# I go where the in-crowd go... #

0:21:10 > 0:21:12Everyone always wants a PPQ ticket

0:21:12 > 0:21:15because it's such good fun.

0:21:15 > 0:21:16They have a great front row,

0:21:16 > 0:21:19they've always got all the It girls of the moment on their front row

0:21:19 > 0:21:21so, even just for the people-watching,

0:21:21 > 0:21:22it's a hot ticket.

0:21:22 > 0:21:24Really looking forward to it.

0:21:24 > 0:21:27Amy's one of my best mates anyway, so I absolutely adore her.

0:21:27 > 0:21:31I've been wearing her clothes since before I met her.

0:21:31 > 0:21:33I think they're a really cool brand.

0:21:33 > 0:21:34I think Percy's a really, really cool guy.

0:21:34 > 0:21:37They always come up with really inventive, different things,

0:21:37 > 0:21:38and it's British as well,

0:21:38 > 0:21:41so we should be proud supporters of our home industry.

0:21:42 > 0:21:46They're quirky and they've got a retro feel as well,

0:21:46 > 0:21:48slight '50s thing going on.

0:21:48 > 0:21:50And they do surprise you,

0:21:50 > 0:21:53you'll always think, "Oh, OK, I wasn't expecting to see that,"

0:21:53 > 0:21:55but it works.

0:21:55 > 0:21:57Sorry, come on. Quick, quick, quick!

0:22:00 > 0:22:01# T'ain't no big thing

0:22:02 > 0:22:05# To wait for the bell to ring

0:22:07 > 0:22:09# T'ain't no big thing

0:22:10 > 0:22:12# The toll of the bell

0:22:15 > 0:22:19# Aggravated, spare for days

0:22:19 > 0:22:22# I troll downtown the red-light place

0:22:22 > 0:22:26# Jump up, bubble up What's in store?

0:22:26 > 0:22:30# Love is the drug and I need to score... #

0:22:30 > 0:22:31Yeah, I loved it.

0:22:31 > 0:22:33It was like the most amazing show I've ever seen,

0:22:33 > 0:22:35I couldn't believe it.

0:22:35 > 0:22:39- Really?- Yeah, it was literally so... The front row was amazing.

0:22:39 > 0:22:41And I just loved the pieces.

0:22:41 > 0:22:44I think I need to get a leather jacket that's, like, blue...

0:22:44 > 0:22:48- It's just amazing. - How much are they paying you?!

0:22:48 > 0:22:49No, that was honest.

0:22:49 > 0:22:52This is his first time at London Fashion Week.

0:22:52 > 0:22:53Having fun?

0:22:53 > 0:22:55Oh, I love it.

0:22:55 > 0:22:58The sleeveless blue leather.

0:22:58 > 0:23:01Well, we do a lot of cocktail dresses

0:23:01 > 0:23:04and, for us, when you tailor... For a younger girl, as well,

0:23:04 > 0:23:06when you put a tailored jacket on as well,

0:23:06 > 0:23:07it's a bit sort of, mmm, you know?

0:23:07 > 0:23:11We need to...harden it a little bit, so...

0:23:11 > 0:23:12A bit edgy.

0:23:12 > 0:23:16As soon as that jacket came out, we both went, "Yeah, that's the one."

0:23:16 > 0:23:19It's like biker chic, it was amazing. Good for, like, younger people.

0:23:19 > 0:23:21Yeah, congratulations,

0:23:21 > 0:23:23it was seriously something.

0:23:23 > 0:23:25CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:23:36 > 0:23:38That was cray-zee.

0:23:39 > 0:23:42Leather, a lot of leather, kind of '80s.

0:23:42 > 0:23:45- Lots of blue.- Electric blue. Electric blue is, like, THE colour.

0:23:45 > 0:23:48Which I'm happy about, because I really like that colour on me

0:23:48 > 0:23:51and I think it looks great on, like, a lot of people.

0:23:51 > 0:23:53And the structured leather jacket,

0:23:53 > 0:23:55a lot of, like, whimsical, kind of floaty dresses.

0:23:55 > 0:23:58I think that's probably one of my favourite shows ever.

0:23:58 > 0:24:01Yeah, I really liked that. I might have to take it up. New career.

0:24:01 > 0:24:02There was loads of celebs there.

0:24:02 > 0:24:04There was, like, everyone from Made In Chelsea,

0:24:04 > 0:24:07Diana Vickers, loads of people in the front row.

0:24:07 > 0:24:09Right behind them, the press was going crazy.

0:24:09 > 0:24:12- Absolutely loved it.- It was really intense but really good.

0:24:12 > 0:24:15- And now I'm, like, flustered. - Maybe need a shower now.

0:24:15 > 0:24:17Yeah! It was so hot in there. It was amazing.

0:24:17 > 0:24:20And I'm quite a fan of PPQ.
