When it’s LFW, one of our favourite things to do is to check
out Front Row of all of the best shows to see which celebrities and fashion
influencers are present. It was very much to our surprise however, to see the
Queen sitting next to Anna Wintour at designer Richard Quinn’s show.
This
is the first time that the Queen has attended London Fashion Week, as she was awarding Quinn the ‘Queen Elizabeth II Award’ for British
Design.
When the Queen spoke about Quinn's success, she described the
award as her "legacy" to British fashion which Mr Quinn had won for
his use of bold prints.
BBC News said, “There was a
hush as she entered the room, with the audience standing up to greet the
monarch and, of course, raising their phones to get that all-important social
media picture.”
What an honour
to have the Queen attending your LFW show, while looking so stylish herself!
Our MD Lesley and one of our team members Gayle are
challenging themselves for a great cause this year by trekking Kerala in
association with Evening Chronicle’s Sunshine Fund and TravelEyes.
The trip will involve trekking Kerala, India whilst guiding
blind travellers.
"As a sighted traveller with Traveleyes, you’ll see more of
the world as you guide and describe the sights to a different blind traveller
each day. This is a highly sociable experience and sharing your sight often
results in an amazing sense of fulfilment and appreciation for the world around
you.”
THE CHARITIES
The Chronicle Sunshine Fund provides specialist equipment
for children with disabilities or special needs, to improve the quality of
their lives. The fund is helping North East children in special schools,
learning units, hospitals and also individual families.
Lesley said, “I am so happy to be going to Kerala with a group of 12 wonderful local ladies and working alongside two
fantastic charities that provide such positive experiences. This trip will
allow us to appreciate what we have and help others to have an
amazing adventure too. We are spending our time in the lead up to the trek
fundraising for the charities and we would be truly grateful for any help that
you can provide.”
HOW YOU CAN HELP
Take a look at Lesley and Gayle’s Just Giving page to make a
donation or keep up to date with their planned events for fundraising.
VIN + OMI are a brand known for sustainability and saving
the planet and this show was no different. Using recycled bottles and sustainable
wool, the pair make their own textiles and encourage people to think about
the waste created by our clothes.
The slogan of their show, featuring TTM Models in east
London, was "we are not sheep".
We asked one of the girls, Deeann, about her experience. “Behind
the scenes is always very hectic however there was a fantastic bunch of people
on the team. It’s a really long day for everyone but as VIN + OMI use the same
models often it’s a great chance to catch up with the people you met in the
last show. Their designs
are so creative and I can’t wait to see what they have in store next season!”
FROW included Ex reality star Nicola Hughes and MIC's Ella Willis.

What Makes a Great
Influencer?
Great influencers think
like business people. They are entrepreneurial, they understand that they
themselves are brands and their contribution is the key factor to their own
success and the companies they promote.
Great influencers have
three kinds of reach:
A great influencer
has Explosive, Relevant Reach. This means he or she can make
your brand stronger as they are already engaged to a potentially
ready-to-buy audience.
A great influencer
has Transparent Reach. A good influencer should have clear
data relating to their audience, too.
A great influencer
has Real Reach. This means that their following has
grown organically and over time. Their followers are real, engaged fans. Always
earned – never bought.
