L'Oréal Fashion Week: "It" Week

The fashion-induced buzz (possibly fueled by strawberry-flavoured Rich Prosecco in a can) under the FDCC big top is about to come to and end. Last night I caught Saniya Khan, whose sari-inspired collection was a contrast to all the cocktail gowns and streetwear I'd seen so far. And today, the fashion masses left work early to catch Paul Hardy's presentation, an absolutely charming collection of floaty, fluffy dresses and sophisticated, voluminous skirts all set to a fairytale-type soundtrack.
Following Paul Hardy was Nada Yousif, who presented her first runway show. The former Degrassi: The New Generation extra chose candy colours and lollipop stripes and added kangaroo pockets to mini dresses and skirts giving the range a fun, youthful air. Four of the cast of Degrassi sat in the front row to support Yousif and after the show she was whisked off to chat with Jeanne Beker, an interview that was broadcast live on screens around the tent.
All in all a fun, crazy, busy, exhausting fashion week - as usual. I am retiring to my bed for 24 hours where I will try not to think about fashion but may end up planning my spring wardrobe anyway.
