I LIKE THE COMFORT OF SMALL ROOMS FOR FASHION SHOWS

Despite being revolted about my 91 pairs of shoes discovered unused, I am still totally addicted to the world of fashion.  I am officially a hoarder.  I am constantly in the state of fear that there is about to be a war, and I am taken in by Tim Blank's and Hamish Bowles wonderful writing during the fashion shows, as indeed my 'eyes are bigger than my feet'. 

 I am constantly asking PR's nicely for tickets but by the time I get through, it is often too late and I am lucky to have a few make up artists and hairdressers who allow me to stand comfortably in the wings of great halls.  I am not a snob.  I do not need first row tickets, although I do feel good when I naturally get one, as I did from the Phillip Treacy show or indeed Jasper Conran's show.  I actually prefer exhibitions.  A natural lover of art I am happiest when some effort has been put into showing clothes in an interesting way.

MICHEL KLEIN

 For example Rushka Bergman's brilliant show for Bebe or Edeline Lee's at the National Geographic, Tom Ford's too.  Michel Klein also has an interesting way of showing clothes which are done in his atelier paradise in St Germain. 
 I prefer this to the shoving, the heat, the standing in the freezing cold, treated like shit by big bouncers that loath fashion.  

Edeline Lee's wonderful clothes were inspired by the writers and artists of the Bloomsbury Group. Beautiful and structured, they are classically designed with a twist, this Canadian Girl should be watched.  The viewing was pleasant and we were able to take photographs as the girls performed.

PARIS                                 LANVIN

Lanvin was on the funway as usual. As usual his show was slick and wearable showing clothes that I want straight away. It is a pity I am on a diet from shopping. Black dresses in wearable sexy shapes showing bits of legs, arms, structured yet not. 

I loved Olivier Rouseing's clothes for Balmain influenced by Miami, Cuba and like Balenciega's Nicolas Ghesquiere these two houses are brilliant at keeping everything up to day.

I have come to the big conclusion I like the comfort of small rooms for fashion, fuck the traffic.

NEW YORK FASHION WEEK: RUSHKA BERGMAN's NEW CLEAN DIRECTION FOR THE BEBE

Having filmed in Los Angeles I am now New York for Fashion Week and to film the rest of "Winging It". Although exhausted I have never been happier. I have managed to enter places that are normally out of reach and people have been very kind.

BEBE's 2013 COLLECTION BY CREATIVE DIRECTOR RUSHKA BERGMAN

I went to see the new direction of the brand Bebe this afternoon under the brilliant guidance of Rushka Bergman, fashion editor for L'uomo Vogue and stylist for Michael Jackson. This is the way I like to see fashion.  I am so fed up of the shows, that unless the designers do something quite incredible, as McQueen and Galliano did,  shows are irrelevant.  They are a huge expense, and leave most of the editors bored to tears. Rushka is clever enough to keep the attention, and showed Bebe's latest creations from circular boxes in a gallery. The fashion was clean and clear, just as I expected, and well made wearable dreams.  Thank goodness for her clean eye and beautiful lines. She really knows what suits a woman. This time in a Givenchy and Dior 1950's Audrey Hepburn type way.  She wishes to encourage beautiful dressing. Let's hope the bondage bandage girls grow up and want something elegant and graceful instead. Bebe should be thrilled after all there are few people with the taste and vision.
