Earls Court 2, London

I was going to include this photo in my Graduate Fashion Week feature, then I
decided Rosanna deserves a blog post to herself. Aspiring fashion journalist and
fellow BAMMJ, Rosanna Cole wears a palette of blues with a beautiful golden
necklace for today's GFW show in London. Having had a peek at The Telegraph's
fashion webpage, it would seem Rosanna's on the right track with her bright blue
trousers, for coloured trousers are now trending on the catwalks and carpets.

Sneak peek: Graduate Fashion Week

To be honest, I wish I were among those photographers standing before the catwalk.
Maybe one day I will be. But today, Rosanna and I were seated with the audience,
snapping away with both our cameras. Check in tomorrow for a full feature (including
photographs) of the Bournemouth & Salisbury catwalk shows at Earls Court 2. And
remember... You can stay updated with all the latest Graduate Fashion Week news
by following @OfficialGFW2011 on Twitter.

Tomorrow at Graduate Fashion Week...

Two tickets for the exhibition, another two for the show - I just hope seats K31 and K32 aren't too far away from the runway! Earls Court 2 is my destination tomorrow, where I'll be attending Graduate Fashion Week, accompanied by the lovely Rosanna Cole.

Catwalk shows kicked off yesterday, leading to a tweeting frenzy from dozens of journalists and fashion students. And although I was admittedly glued to my laptop for most of the day, reading all those tweets has got me hyped for tomorrow's experience. Today, I again plan to stay updated via Twitter, but alas a couple of hours of shorthand practice is also needed for the 80 words-per-minute exam I will be sitting before I head off to London.


If you want to keep up-to-date with the latest Graduate Fashion Week news, here are two Twitter accounts you should follow:

Simon Chilvers (@simonchilvers) - assistant fashion editor at The Guardian. From all the photos he's been uploading to Twitpic, I'd say he's sitting in the front row. Follow him for constant updates on both the beautiful and not-so-beuatiful pieces making an appearance on the runway.

GFW2011 (@OfficialGFW2011) - as suggested by their username, the official Twitter account for Graduate Fashion Week 2011. Follow for updates on the goings-on at Earls Court 2 and plenty of Graduate Fashion Week re-tweets. They're especially keen on seeing and re-tweeting all the real-time photos being taken and uploaded by bloggers. This is perhaps the one time I regret not hanging with the cool kids by not possessing a smart phone. Technology, eh?

Alternatively, search for #GFW to read all tweets on this exciting event.

As for my blog, I'm afraid you'll have to wait until tomorrow evening for any photos or even a whiff of a feature article. Nevertheless I can guarantee I will do my best to grab some great content for a blog post or two. Or maybe even three - after all, it's also a fabulous opportunity for some style spotting! I'm certainly looking forward to it.
