London Fashion Week Day 2

Not many royal styles out and about at the tent this morning . . . maybe saving themselves for the Westwood show later . . .

We did bump into the lovely Elena Corchero, (recent Central St Martins MA Textile Futures graduate) in a dash of tartan who had just received a commendation from the hands of Hilary Alexander for the British Fashion Council UK Young Fashion Entrepreneur of the year.

The night took us to the other side of town for the launch of Maiden Britain's AW09 Immigrant Collection at Shoreditch venue Beach Blanket Babylon. (Keep an eye out for Kendall's full coverage of the show including backstage footage.)

Ziad Ghanem's Maiden Britain ready-to-wear line is a collaborative label that integrates elements from contributing artists, illustrators and designers. All the fabrics are ethically sourced and re-worked into provoking designs.

We bumped into the stunning Bosaina sporting an amazing studded leather jacket and skirt and union jack 2.55 Chanel (she even rocks it better that Agy!) Very Alaïa-Punk-Chic! Bosaina has her own label, Basbousa and it turns out she's quite an Anglophile herself. Take a look at her latest collection DIY Rocket Science - a great mix of studs, bleached denims and badges.

We also rubbed elbows with stylist and costume designer Nova Dando and her assistant Myles in Burberry and tartan.

Roll on fashion week!
