MBFW Mayhem


The month we have all been waiting for is almost upon us. That's right, in under 12 hours the first show of Mercedes Benz Fashion Week will begin, kicking off four weeks of previews from top designer for S/S 2012 in the worlds four top fashion capitals, New York, London, Paris and Milan (although we all know London's officially the finest :) ).

This year is set to top the rest with the return of Tom Ford and Helmut Langs first show in 5 years. New York will run from Thursday 8th - Thursday 15th, from where London Fashion week will begin.
New York see's 7 full days of over 100 shows from CFDA emerging talent 2011 winner Prabal Gurung to Marc Jacobs.

The week has had various disruptions due to Hurricane Irene with Marc Jacobs moving his show from Monday 12th to Thursday 15th and indirectly causing Bill Bass to move from 5pm of the same day to 12.30 to avoid any possible conflict.

The CFDA also previously announced that all models during MBFW will be required to show valid I.D before walking after it's chairman Diane Von Furstenburg mistakenly hired a 15 year old to walk her A/W 11/12 show earlier this year.

I can't wait to see what S/S 12 has in store for us. Whilst there are over 100 shows, I'm particularly excited for the following....
