Hey!

Welcome to The Very Simon G. My blog has been going for nearly a decade, but there ain’t getting away from me just yet! Come in for fashion, fun and everything in between. Enjoy!

Crystal Clear

So we all know that New York fashion week is fully under way, and the designers have, up until now, shown collections that are creative, colourful (always refreshing for autumn winter) and just downright fabulous, but it's been difficult to get a glimpse of the action. Well, thanks to Swarovski TV who are partnering with a few lucky bloggers, you can all have sneak peaks from the shows, behind the scenes, and exclusive interviews with some designers and models.

Thanks to the crystal masters, WE can all now decide whether we like the new clothes or not, rather than just reading someone else's opinions (obviously mine are worthy, no?). And there's more... you probably didn't know that for London Fashion Week over 3 million crystals are being used by Swarovski sponsored designers this season - that's A LOT of bling (imagine a suit dripping with them - heaven!). Included in the elite group are: Mark Fast, Antonio Berardi, Erdem and the might Marios Schwab to name a few and once again, thanks to Swarovski, lovely reader, we are able to check out the fashion shows as they are streamed live! AHHHHH it's all so exciting!

Sunday Times Style magazine's editor, Tiffanie Darke, and my fabulous friend Katherine Ormerod (one insanely talented fashion journalist for Style mag) will be providing us with commentary from the shows and I will also be getting exclusive designer interviews and stories from Tiffany. OMG it's fashion overload, and I can't friggin wait!!!

I'll update you as and when you need to watch, but for your own fashion-sanity, and so you don't miss anything, please keep tuning in with The Very.

Thank me (and Swarovski) later.

HofH
