>> When people ask me how I am, in the course of many, many fashion week small talk chit chat sessions, my default reply has been “Oh you know… just chugging along.” Chugging, as in moving slowly through the motions as opposed to downing kegs of beer. Whilst I’m doing all this fashion week I’m going to indulge in a bit of outfit recapping. I’m just going to assume that none of you are rabidly trawling through images of my good self so hopefully it’s not all old hat to you. An editor said to me that if I showed up wearing all black at a show last, she’d be mega sad. Well amongst the floral, the prints and the from from fluffiest, I have been attempting to dip my sartorial pen into a black inkwell, albeit decorated with iridescent splatters (Julien David) or black crochet flowers (Simone Rocha). Funereal black my way. I did also resume normal Su Bubs style in most other instances with most joyful wearing experience going to the Somewhere Nowhere mesh/furry/marabou candy floss combo sweater. I’m also going to pat myself on the back for finding a jacket from Comme des Garcons A/W 13 collection featuring the crazed artwork by Daniel Michiels at a bargain basement price of £150 in Tokyo…. because obviously that takes errr… real skill and errr… effort.

And finally, for that extra bit of “Me Me Me”, I thought I’d just say thanks to BBC iPlayer for giving London Fashion Week a chance to shine and also making my parents slightly more enthusiastic about this fashion thang, after years of incessant nagging about when I’m going to get a “proper” job. I haven’t yet watched it in its entirety so I am counting on you to tell me whether I sound and look like a complete imbecile in it. I asked Steve to review it for me whilst wearing headphones so I didn’t have to listen to my own voice saying things like “Hi, I’m Susie Lau and I’m a fashion blogger.” He gave it the thumbs up but obviously there is that whole biased boyfriend thing. I’ll let you be the judge of whether it’s up to scratch or not.

2014-09-26 at 2:11 AMThat Somewhere Nowhere sweater is out of this world! I have to agree with that editor–I love the originality of your looks. Even when the masses have shied away from print mixing in favor of norm core, you have stayed true to your “essence” while remaining current. I applaud that!

Watched it on iPlayer when I was off sick from work – made my day and made me feel much better! Love the the way you write about it. Your blog has reignited my interest in fashion that I thought I had lost.
Keep up the good work. xx

2014-10-01 at 9:53 AMThe Comme des Garcons jacket is magnificent, the largely shirt is so elegant and a wise choice faced with such a piece. The looks holds together so well.
