IN DA PINK: Fashion Shenzhen- Vauxhall Fashion Scout

Last year around this time, I was helping out at the China Image Film Festival and this year I helped out at the London Fashion Week. No, not exactly AT the London Fashion Week, hehe I wished! I helped out at one of the shows/exhibition at the Vauxhall Fashion Scout, the Fashion Shenzhen.

A little info about Fashion Shenzhen...
This is the third year that Fashion Shenzhen is taking place in London and the exhibition displayed lots of emerging brands and designers from Shenzhen, China. Read on and you'll see the pictures I took of the clothes.

What was I doing?
I was distributing leaflets outside the entrance to non-Chinese people (yep doesn't sound too exciting); I was told to aim at westerners in order to promote these Chinese Brands.When it was almost time for the catwalk show, I stood by the entrance directing people into the catwalk. I know doesn't sound too fun, it wasn't. I must say I enjoyed working at the China Image Film Festival last year more. But I still enjoyed myself because I enjoy meeting people and talking to strangers lol. And I saw some weird people, actually I take that back. I mean I saw people with some unique style lol.

These were the flyers that I had to hand out.

I had a look around at the exhibition during my break. Had some free food and drinks, they had finger foods like; prawn dumpling (dim sum), crispy spring roll, prawn toast, samosas, etc. Ok, I didn't go there for the food lol. But it was there and couldn't resist. Below are some pictures I took when I was at the exhibition.

Qi Pao- Traditional Chinese Dress

The dress above has a very Royal feel to it, probably because Chinese Emperors used wear gowns with these patterns/ dragon images on.

Other Qi Paos- the design wasn't all that but I guess they may look better once you wear them.

This looks like a maternity dress. If it's not one, I still think its a good dress for pregnant women if they were to attend some glamorous event/ red carpet event.

Dress from Lizzy

Out of all the outfits that were displayed this was the best one- in my opinion. This is a design from Lizzy, they had the best designs. But having saying that I wouldn't really wear their dresses because they were too over the top. More suitable for red carpet, proms, weddings, etc.

Dress from Océane

This is another one of the nicest outfit that was displayed at the exhibition. It's very sexy, sassy and glamorous. It will would perfect with a pair of black Louboutin or even silver.

Here's me at the exhibition posing lol. I was wearing a Julien MacDonald dress from the Diamond Collection, shoes are from Joy & Peace in Hong Kong. Don't think you can see my earrings; I'm wearing Rocawear earrings (yep, still into my hip hop brands lol). Without being big headed, I must say I think my hair looked quite nice that day lol. I didn't really style it, I was too much in a rush to do so. I just put a little bit of hair cream and just gave my hair a few scrunch. Less is more!

Posing again

Moving on to the weird people I said I saw there...
Some of you probably have seen this "lady"

Not the one on the left smiling lol, the one wearing a blue dress with the big hair.

Not clear enough? Here's a closer view

Fixing up before going into the catwalk show since "she" will be sitting at the front row.

This is the closest picture I could get

The security guards there told me that this "lady" gets invited to sit at the front row of the catwalk shows every year. They said it's actually a man inside and every year he wears something similar outfits like this; the big hair. Have any of you guys seen him/ her?
