London Fashion Week 2012 and chocolate

If something in this post title doesn't tickle your fancy then I'm not sure we can be friends anymore. It is of course London Fashion Week 2012 and after pouring over photos and videos of the shows so far (something I have the luxury of doing when my iPhone is the only thing I am solely responsible for and it doesn't require entertaining at the weekends!) I have to declare my new fashion love...

The highlight of LFW 2012 so far for me has been Turkish Central St.Martin's graduate Bora Aksu's A/W 12 collection which showcased victorian inspired undergarments mixing mesh, layered corsets and ruffled silk fabrics that floated down the catwalk. The pictures do all the talking...

London Fashion Week 2012's website is showing videos of all the shows with delights including the gorgeous garments and pretty bicycles from PPQ, Orla Kiely's vintage dresses and dainty collars, the 90's grunge take on 2012 from Unique and the Men's Day wear show. More highlights to be posted as Day 3 has just hit the site but until then there are videos to pour over with a cup of Hotel Chocolat Caramel Hot Chocolate; may I suggest you do the same and enjoy a very fashionable, chocolatey Sunday afternoon...
