Luton Fashion Week

Morning | Afternoon | Evening

Disclaimer: This whole blog itself aren't for those who may cringe when reading anything with grammatical errors. Sadly I suffer from Dysgraphia Dyslexia and there's nothing I can do about it. When I read things, they seem correct to me but really aren't. So best you stop here.

I have to admit that one thing I love about being in this industry is being invited to events, if you scroll back to other blogs I have given reviews of some. If I am invited on behalf of my magazine only then due to policy I can’t blog about it.

However this one I am because my magazine and my blog were invited to review and enjoy the event: Luton Fashion Week (LFW). I’ve not heard of this event before and I’ve been in the industry for 6 years. The event has been organised by Aneesa Kian-e a talented teacher and designer! She’s fulfilled her passion into a career and enjoys every minute of it!

Luton Fashion Week is an event not for the ‘big people’ more for the inspiring people. It was the students of Bedfordshire College. They showcased their talent to the rest of the people and I’m telling you they were amazing! Honestly they inspired me more and made me believe that their generation will carry on the legacy of: Hard working Talented Individual

Other events that I have been invited to as a VIP has not met the standards of LFW VIP. Honestly I am highly impressed with the VIP service, it was more than what I could think of. They fed us! I mean they FED us! Sorry the only reason I am shocked is, these fashion events never have food and people LOVE FOOD. The VIP room was upstairs so we all got to mingle and network. Alhumdulilah I think I did well with letting people that have been in the industry for more than 10years know of the magazine which is a plus one J We also got front seats (of course!) which allowed us to see the show better. I don't boast about being VIP’s to other events but this event more than me being a VIP I was very impressed with being a smaller event show they pulled it off way better than Pakistan Fashion Week, London Bridal Show etc….

The goody bag needs a separate paragraph! I can't explain to you how AMAZING the goody bag was! Again this was a VIP goody bag, I meant Haute Arabia just threw in leaflets and like one biscuit packets and walah that’s a VIP goody bag! Ugh. We got Ayesha Zia Oud, Swarovski Crystal Studs, Brooches, two cupcakes,

The Event:

As usual any fashion show (Except London Fashion Week) it runs over time, in Asian function it runs slightly more…. The event was supposed to start at 6.30pm however ran one hour late, however I personally was okay with it because one glich over the more amazing stuff that happened I did overlook it.

Another one was the Technology;
Music; I was laughing a lot purely because it happens to me at family events. Some of the music had like a ‘comment’ at the end stating what where it was downloaded from. “Log on to….” At parties I’m always in charge of music and yeah sometimes I download the wrong copy….

Mics; I think this is general, either the hosts speak to into the mics which makes it go down or the mics are just generally weak!

Overall;

The event was too good that I overlooked all these things, which I usually look into. Those things weren’t major for me to want to walk out I absolutely loved the whole event, the atmosphere the people and no I wasn’t a stuck up girl sticking to the VIP’s I mingled with other people too. Alhumdulilah it was a beautiful event, and I guess in the name of charity it exceeded my expectations. Aneesa gave to the poor and Alhumdulilah she got back more respect and high status! I’m an honoured to have been invited to be part of this magical night. I was honestly inspired by Aneesa and hope we can pull off our charity event as well as this!

Photo’s

I was sad that I enjoyed it so much didn’t take much photo’s and due to being short I couldn't take them myself :'( so here they are:
