Hi everyone, before we start on this month’s theme of Childhood we had to tell you about our experience at Fashion Mavericks.
For three London Fashion Week seasons now, Fashion Mavericks has taken place at the Strand Palace Hotel for two days. The event showcases new, up and coming and below the radar designers through exhibitions and catwalk shows. As it was a lot more intimate than the massive bustle of LFW, though still vibrant, it felt as though the designers really wanted to speak to us and there were no massive egos.

BSB have supported Fashion Mavericks since the very beginning so we were thrilled that the organisers went the extra mile to look after us including getting us on front row for every show- something which made us feel very important and like part of the Fash Pack! We all attended on the first day (including our new photographer Sophie; who’s mac is broken trapping the photos!), but it was left in mine and Nicole’s hands on the Monday, hence why I’m writing this now.
Our Favourites
Vibrant patterns in greens and oranges teamed with blacks and metalics to give a warrior like feel which was still elegant and feminine. We also received a patterned fabric bag with a convertible plain and printed and almost concertina folded scarf inside, I know Susie was very envious that she arrived late and missed out on this!
Obscure Couture (jewellery by Bonnie Bling)
By mixing items, styles and materials which don’t traditionally make great bedfellows the Glaswegian duo have created a streetwear collection with a theatrical edge. Teamed with striking knuckledusters and glow in the dark cameo necklaces by fellow Glaswegian jewellery maker Bonnie Bling. The girls were down to earth and a joy to get to know too!
We just wanted to thank Jacqueline from Fashion Mavericks for looking after us and being a joy to work with, here's to next season!
