London fashion week 2011

I always wanted to see what fashion week looks like. Every time I saw from bloggers or magazines that they took so many fantastic pictures of people and designers.
However, I am not a buyer nor press, I can't allow to watch runway shows. But I can be a passerby at the fashion week place! So on 20th of Feb, I went to London to check it out!
Well, I did see a lot of stylish people over there. And lots of cameras took pictures of them. It was quite interesting experience. And after standing there for almost 2 hours in the freezing day, I saw Vivienne Westwood! It was like, "oh my god, It's her! Unbelievable!!!"

Although I can't be a part of fashion week, it was worthy that I saw one of the famous designers in the world~

Below are some pictures that I took.

Um... I think I will have a lot of homework to do to check their collections. There must be something super good design that Marie Claire only lists them, not others. 

PS: On Feb 6~12, I went to Paris for Premiere Vision, and Amsterdam as well. 

It was like dream comes true. I always wanted to see Eiffel  tower, the Concorde, and feel the city of Paris. Paris is so beautiful, especially the Louvre. 

Only 5 days in Paris is not enough. I wish I would go there again. It is a fascinating city ever!
