Paris Fashion Week AW 2012/2013....Kelli

Estonian model Kelli Lumi (DNA), after John Galliano, Paris, March 2012.

Adore the heavy eye make-up and the way the fur is framing her face. It was horrid weather (I remember it clearly....it was raining and cold) but Kelli managed to look serene and beautiful.

Instead I scurried around with layers comprising two thermals, one dress, one jumper, one coat, one cape-coat, plus knitted hat and gloves....and I was still cold!

London Fashion Week AW 2012...After Vivienne Westwood Red Label

The hair and make-up at Vivienne Westwood Red Label, complete with hand/leg/neck tattoos, was wild and simply breathtaking. Not sure that the "drawn-on" tattoo look would work off the catwalk (perhaps with a very steady, practised hand it might just work - get it wrong and it will look like you were bored at school/work/in front of the tv and have accidentally doodled on yourself!).

Recreate model Bo Don's look (kind of):

Current/Elliott The Ankle Skinny leopard print Jeans (in sapphire blue)
MiH Jeans oversized white cotton shirt or Madewell perfect ex-boyfriend shirt (cute name, huh?!)
Alexander Wang Rocco studded bag
ASOS parka with detachable faux fur lining
