Just over a week to go and we have 25 shops and 21 models booked for the Brighton Fashion Show on Sunday 6th September.

Shops include - French Connection, Velvet, LK Bennett, Posh Totty, Hobbs, Hugo Boss, Hope and Harlequin, Benetton, Ju Ju, East, Get Cutie, Prime Brighton, David Clulow, Moss Bros, Dot Dot Dot, Coast and Peter Werth,

Ambrose Harcourt and Guy Lloyd from Juice FM have confirmed they are appearing on the catwalk.

I am organising schedules and meeting the models at their shops for fittings. Rehearsals start at the Grand Hotel - we need a large rehearsal area as the catwalk/stage area is 52ft long.

Autumn ranges coming into the shops


With the new season ranges filtering into our shops and boutiques - what is new for Autumn? Colours dominating are silver, greys, rich autumnal colours, fushia and mauves. Coats and suits are very structured and tailored, notice the exaggerated shoulders. Knitted coats and jackets are popular with layering and draping a big autumn feature. Black leather jackets are back together with boots covered with studs and buckles. Handbags have got smaller, but big enough to include everything a girl needs!

It is worth looking at the sale rail in the stores there are some fantastic bargains with very discounted prices. You could well bag a good bargain to refresh your summer wardrobe while we still have a few weeks of summer to enjoy.

The photo is one I styled for Knitting Magazine. I selected the model, sourced the clothing to go with the knitwear and found the fabulous location - Wiston House in Sussex. The photography is by kerbe.co.uk.
