So this is my first blog entry on Papierdoll and I am mighty excited about my new post! I am a fashion stylist based in London and I aim to cover interesting events in the UK fashion calender along with designer profiles and snippets of my life as a freelancer. My website www.fashionstylists.co.uk showcases my work as both a writer and stylist- so you can see what I do in the industry.

As you all know the fashion week season will be upon us before we know it and this year will be the 25th year of London Fashion Week. We have some huge name designers fleeing back to our shores this season and its set to be an absolute winner. This brings me to NewGen, created in 1993 by the BFC, it is crucial in supporting the fresh young talent that makes London so unique as a fashion capital. Sponsored by Topshop, the board include ginormous fashion names such as Matthew Williamson and Alexander McQueen. Annouced today was the new wave of designers to receive catwalk sponsorship- these include Mary Katrantzou, Meadham Kirchnoff, Mark Fast, Peter Pilotto and Henry Holland. It is such great news that platforms like this exist to help young designers follow their dreams.  Until next time. x
