Here is my outfit for day 5 of London Fashion Week.  Shows I saw that day included Holly Fulton's very pink & turquoise collection and the hippie/backpacker/yoga/90's raver/glitter-bomb of a runway that Ashish put together.  My Fashion Insider video coverage above for 1883 Magazine was unfortunately edited poorly by the filmmaker who confused the two shows, but we're trying to get in touch with him to sort that out!

I grabbed this image from WGSN's tumblr page, in a post highlighting grey winter tones seen on men in the street during fashion week.  Huge thanks to Dior, Paul & Joe and again Cutler and Gross for the lending the samples for me to wear.  It was one of the chillier days of fashion week so I made sure to dress warmly & winter appropriately with the layered gloves and the Nordic print tie.

Burger and I went to Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park on Sunday night and he was definitely dressed warm for the occasion.  He got a few comments about how 'Russian' he looked because of the big fur hat (I was also wearing my matching hat) along with his long jacket that he bought at a vintage store on Brick Lane, but Russians definitely know how to dress for the cold so it makes sense.


I love how he wore the silver western style collar tips with the thick gold chain - after the fur hat and the long jacket they are the first things you see.  Then you notice the almost hidden double swallow brooch and they all clash so well together - a perfect mixture of cowboy meets gangster meets grandma.
