As I sit back in the UK writing this my LMFF visit is still fresh in my memory; from the rooftop cinema of Friedrich Gray and Romance Was Born on my first night through to the Sofitel Hot Brides on my last afternoon.
I imagine if you have read any of my comments you will want to know what the high spots were? Well the entire bloody week was a high spot!
I loved every minute and loved so many of the clothes and collections; stand outs for me during the week were Fleur Wood, Gary Bigeni, Friedrich Gray, Limedrop, Jayson Brunsden, Six, Timothy Godbold, Aurelio Costerello, Nevenka, Michael Angel, Jack London, Gorman, Gwendolynne, and two great shows which I loved – Forever New and Target! Akira, Martin Grant, Scanlon and Theodore, Colette Dinnigan, Easton Pearson and others of the establishment showed collections which were of truly international standard – but I knew that already. It was the names which I was surprised by or who were new to me which made my heart beat faster.
The other wonderful thing was meeting up with old friends but making new ones. LMFF must have the single most stupendous Board for an event of this type anywhere in the world – everyone communicated and talked and I learnt things which is surely why we travel and work; to aquire knowledge?! Plus all the teams involved, from the runners upwards were delightful.
I am not going to mention names because it truly was everyone from the drivers to the designers themselves.
So……………….as I wipe a tear away sitting in rain sodden Brighton typing this what is the single thing I want to close with?
Please, please find a reason to ask me back next year……………I promise I’ll do anything you ask.

Hi Tony, today’s wet&grey Melbourne weather is not the only thing to mirror your thoughts and situation in Brighton.. I just wanted to jump on bandwagon to agree with you – an inspiring LMFF that was run with far more style and efficiency than our ailing public transport system which I’m sure you would have heard about (if not endure??) during your time here. Anyway thanks for your writing & hope you enjoy my wrap up of the LMFF Indie Parade – BusinessChic.com.au – workwear inspiration .. Hope to see you next year!
