It Brits, street style, parties, shows, and more from London Fashion Week. By Piera Gelardi
If you've been reading our Twitter lately, you'd know we've been in London. Straight off the tails of New York Fashion Week, we hopped a plane to Heathrow, Tubed it to the May Fair hotel, and then straight on to the Opening Ceremony/Chloë Sevigny party…no rest for the wicked! London style is so much more exuberant (just look at Susie Bubble!) and that translates to the runways as well—the catwalks here are often bigger, brighter, and more experimental than back home. So, needless to say, we had fun documenting all the leopard, hats, veils, and color on the street, runways, and parties during our stay. Enjoy!

On the way to the Opening Ceremony/Chloë Sevigny party we had to snap a pic of these two girls in the Tube wearing their matching hot pink leg warmers. Love that they're also walking in synch. My little fashion twin!

We shot this girl at the Double Club our first night and then again outside of the Topshop show space. Turns out she's the new fashion editor of Love!
