5 o'clock in the morning, the dedicated Daisy team roll themselves out of bed and make their way to the Big Smoke. And how excited we were. When we eventually woke up (about 3 hours later) excited banter trilled around the car.
Other than driving around 1 square mile of London for 40 minutes, the journey passed off remarkably well. Hotel room not ready for us, but we coped. When we did get in, we preened and made up as only 5 girls in a tiny room know how to. The mess was quite remarkable.
Unsuitably dressed (as we later found out) and about 2 hours late, we headed into the show.
A mixture of stalls, guest speakers and catwalks - there was an awful lot to take in. Thanks to Diana and all the team for the sheer effort of coordinating such an event. (Oh and the mention you gave Daisy Green in your brochure was very much appreciated!)
We learned a lot. Which made all the driving worth while. And we had a great girlie time. Shoes and feet became the theme for the weekend (more of that later.)
Hmmm. The fur spoilt it for me. Actually, just about ruined it to be truthful. FaCshion was showcasing some real ethical clothing labels but wasn't a dedicated ethical show. Fair enough. But, the mix of ethics and fur - well for me, they just don't mix.
In reflection, a really cool weekend. Lots of giggles and belly laughs. And Brick Lane is FABULOUS. Curry and vintage fashion. THE perfect combination.
