London Fashion Week wrapped up tonight and what a week it was. Alongside stunning, inspired clothes that could be considered works of art, there were some truly bizarre concoctions. But fashion wouldn't be fashion without them, everything needs balance, right? And like people, someone, somewhere, loves them. It wasn't just the clothes that drew strange looks, however. The celeb element was out in full force for the shows and the celebrations, and while some were on their best behaviour, out to support their favourite designers, others were a bit of a spectacle. Again, it wouldn't be fashion without it, right?
Above, an out-of-place Pamela Anderson sits the front row for the Vivienne Westwood Red Label show, and yes, that's a real person beside her. Rumour has it it's her new pal Michael Jackson. If so, I'm guessing his whole head finally fell off and this was the best he could do at short notice.
Next is Kate Moss, who had a good time as always at the parties and had to be held up as she made her way to a waiting taxi, accompanied by a relatively more conscious Allegra Versace (I'm sorry, for some reason I just had to include this):
Agyness Deyn and Daisy Lowe grabbed some attention at Aggy's best mate Henry Holland's House of Holland after-party. She wore a sheer dress from his collection with strategically placed dots that just covered her naughty bits (the girl just can't look full-on skanky, can she?), and Daisy in the leopard print bodysuit she wore down the catwalk for Naomi Campbell's Fashion Relief show:
So, of the major London fashion scene players we've got Kate, Aggy, Daisy, ...which leaves Alice Delal and a Geldof or two, also at the House of Holland party. Here's Pixie (second), whose massive (Linda Farrow? NHS?) glasses give her a very Anastase look. Loving the smile, I didn't know she could do it:

Finally, a truly gorgeous Dita von Teese at the Vivienne Westwood Red Label show, looking not just a touch more elegant than Pam who was sitting nearby - although that cleavage is some serious competition for the blonde. But the milky white skin saves her from looking cheap, giving her that 18th century French aristocracy look and allowing her to get away with showing off the goods while remaining a lady. That, and she doesn't wear lucite platform heels with fluffy pompoms on them.
This is a really long photo and I've got some space to fill, so I'll just say that there are more shows to cover from London, coming soon. Then Milan begins Saturday. It's all a whirlwind, but there have been some exceptional collections that make it all worth it. And I'm still trying to think of ways I can make large amounts of cash quickly (preferably legally), so I can get my hands on some of these clothes. Unfortunately, they all seem to involve not wearing any clothes. Figures.
