I'll be honest - I have very little experience with fashion shows. I usually only watch them at the hairdresser's, although I follow some fashion blogs so tend to see pictures from the bigger shows. So my list is more a wish list - stuff I'd buy and wear the hell out of (I may be waiting a while
). I prefer classic, feminine styles and don't tend to buy many trend pieces.
For dresses/formal wear:
Elie Saab - classic, feminine, intricate, fantastical - he knows how to make women look good. His window for the Disney Princesses Christmas Display at Harrods this year was my absolute favourite
Also, he dresses real princesses too. And the true test of any wedding dress is: Can it be worn with a tiara?
Valentino. (Because, obviously
) Emilia Wickstead, Amanda Wakeley (my trusty LBD is a strapless Amanda Wakeley number and it's divine), Alice Temperley and Jenny Packham. I love this particular Packham number so much it's my avatar!
Classic investment pieces:
Mulberry for handbags (I'm saving for a Bayswater in Bordeaux, and like their smaller ones as well)
Burberry (There isn't much I wouldn't do for the glorious peacock number, but realistically I'm looking to get a beige, below-the-knee trench before next winter rolls around!)
If it's good enough for Anna...
Chanel for... everything. EVERYTHING.
Jimmy Choo - these gorgeous strappy beauties caught my eye on Net a Porter and have been haunting me ever since (also, my mum has a red patent leather clutch and matching courts by Jimmy Choo that I'm forever stealing/borrowing, and I just love them)
That's all in my dreams, though. Generally, I wear a lot of Ralph Lauren, Ralph Lauren Polo and Whistles. Alice Temperley did a great collection for John Lewis called Somerset which I adore. I can also make my Barbour jacket look seriously fierce with knee-high boots and skinnies... (I may spend more time in London than in the country these days, but you can prise my Barbour out of my cold, dead hands
)
