Boy George on the sound system . Nothing puts a smile on face like ‘Victims’, my all time favourite track. Very clever collection Mrs Prada. You always makes me think, keep my brain ticking over. Kept getting texts throughout the show from me mates to say I was on live stream, front row and centre. Me and my teeth of grief. Good God. I think it may be time to start traveling with a hair and make up crew.
Then total panic. Need to catch my train. Had to drop Mama at Le Bristol to meet Roland, Be and Cedric – handsome man over load. Lucky girl! Next, the Alaia to pick up my bags and onto Gare du Nord to catch my train. Praise be Baby Jesus, I made it. Thank you Fred, your driving skills are unparalleled. Now back in London, home in ten towers thank the Lord.

Hermes has gone all John Stead/ Avengers on us. A bowler hat with every look, a cane here and there, a copy of The Times, it’s all about the English gent. A suave English gent. An old school James Bond, more an Ian Flemming really and Duran Duran’s ‘View to a Kill’ playing over the speakers. Used to really fancy Simon le Bon, then he got fat and I fancied him less. Why must they always get fat. Don’t they know getting thin is the new thing. Look at me. Question of the hour though, where is Miss Moneypenny hiding that gun? There’s no way it’s concealed in the top of her suspender belt. Haven’t had this much fun. Bloody brilliant way to spend the afternoon if you ask me.

Boobs are back! With a vengeance. Heaving breast hit the runway! Flirty fifties and a lustful handbag with every look. Jaw dropping. What more can I say?

I’m tired, I’m emotional, I’ve gone all teary. I’m a mess. It’s a sad day today. The end of an era. An era of a special kind creativity and showmanship is over. Never to return in quite the same way. Farewell dear Lee. You’ll be missed very much.

What a nice name for a label – wunder and kind. Two right words together. Right good collection of tribal urban gear in hues of gold and red. Very opulent looking and perfect for both the boys and the girls in your life.

Its the last day so I don’t even mind getting up this morning for Elie Saab. It’s home time kids. There’s a Eurostar ticket with my name on it in my pocket. Oh yes. Anyway, what can I say about Elie here. Frocks, frocks, followed by yet more frock. Flowing and body – con. Lace and sparkle. Perfect for a cocktail do. Perfect for a black tie do too.

Last show of the day and its only five o’clock. Almost feels like a part time job today. I have to admit though, everyone is getting a bit bored of being freezing cold. Anyway, here are Ten very important, you could even say vital, bits pulled from the press release.

1. Digital romanticism.
2. Noir innocence.
3. Candid and dark.
4. A natural instinct of creating.
5. A woman of the world.
6. Reconsideration and reinvention of elegance.
7. Favouring unexpected liaisons.
8. Couture constructions.
9. Aggressive by exasperation.
10. Digital poetry.

Marlboro Lights. No, I mean Camel Lights. Truth be told I have no idea what I mean. Anyway, it’s all about masculine tailoring with a feminine touch. Layered textures in a rainbow of camel shades. Very seventies American working girl even. You know, the kind Tom Petty sang about. In fact that should have been the show track. Loved the fly away hair bouncing all over the place and the Whitney come back sound. Luxe, luxe, luxe.
