Last week I was invited by the British Arab Council to an International Fashion Showcase ‘Fashion Utopias’ at Somerset House during London Fashion Week 16′. The showcase brought together the optimistic visions of more than 80 emerging designers from 24 countries. Presented by the The British Fashion Council the exhibition celebrates the ‘universal relevance of fashion in contemporary culture’ and covers 5 continents arranged by country each fused with a specially curated fashion installation. Moving from room to room the talent, presentation and diversity was evident, I must admit my own slight bias towards the Lebanon room, where some of our talented Fashion Forward Dubai (FFWD) designers: Nour Najem the Label, la Terre Est Folle, Timi Hayek, Mirna Hayek, Bashar Assaf (under the patronage of the Starch Foundation in Beirut) were presenting their utopian vision, but other highlights included Slovakian designer Petra Kublikova, the Czech Republic, Korea and the Phillipines.

Roadtesting the fabulous shapewear range from Queen of the Crop, this super sexy ‘The Hourglass’ slip is from the new ‘Covet Collection’ colour Godiva – a rich Earthy Mocha. I literally want to wear this out, ‘I do love a bit of underwear as outerwear’
My favourite bit is the rear panelling that gives you a Kardashian-worthy derrière and the overall support flattens and firms thighs, sucks in the tummy and hips and overall give you a vava voom shape
Available online at www.queenofthecrop.co.uk and via Facebook @ www.facebook.com/queenofthecrop with currently 30% off the shape wear collection

Amazing night hosting the red carpet at this super slick feature film premiere. Directed in his debut by Naeem Mahmood BYT weaves a tale of triumph over adversity, young people with big dreams, determined to succeed against all odds.
From a fashion perspective the films wardrobe is vibrant, oozing individual style and really made this film come to life. highlights for me were lead male Paul Chiedozie’s character Terrell Macintosh – officially the coolest man in London and Kimberley Marren’s depiction of party girl Shaz – suitably vulnerable at times and then all feminine sexuality and power.
super cool soundtrack with the theme song Empire written and performed by D Double E feat Havva
