It's hard to believe London Fashion Week is over!
We are still recovering from the roaring success our colleague Rose Perkins -FashionSistas CEO - had in debuting her "R 'n' R Back to Black collection" last Saturday at The Angels of Fashion show in support of The Prince's Trust.
The evening was organised to benefit The Prince's Trust by Savita Kaye of Lady K media who said: "I want the world to celebrate together and witness never seen creations. This platform will help many designers as a springboard to the next level without spending thousands of pounds. Also, gives the next generation of designers hope that their collection can have the same media/press platform like the top designers around the world."
Rose herself is a Prince's Trust ambassador, supporting 18-30 year-olds. The R 'n' R collection is in collaboration with designers such as Szimonetta Szabó, and a young intern, Rukhsana, who Rose is currently mentoring in business and fashion.
Szimonetta told us: "I met Rose in February at an event. I was wearing one of my own dresses which Rose loved and ordered for her store. We have been working together since".
Rose auditioned an eclectic mix of stunning models to represent her experimental designs. They all had a funky step in their walk and a couple of the girls showed off the comfort and versatility of the garments through dance. During rehearsals, Rose told the models: "Tell a story through movement".
FashionSistas' outstanding catwalk told a story to Amy Winehouse "Back to Black", Jay-Z and Kanye West "Otis" and Jay - Z and Justin Timberlake "Holy Grail".

The outro was particularly fun, as Rose - who usually likes to stay out of the spotlight - was given her plaudits on the runway and was encouraged to replicate the "Back to Black" dance-off!
The collection sparked a lot of interest with incoming sales and the success of the night extended to two of FashionSistas' models being scouted. One of those is Hungarian Vivian Vanda Varga who spoke to us: "I have worked with Rose on and off, it was really competitive I had to audition for her via video link and I was so glad to make it, I've made good contacts here at London Fashion Week". Her look is other-worldly.
Now the FashionSistas journey is expanding in full hip-thrusting motion - they have been inundated with requests across the UK and internationally - they have even been in talks about going to New York and Paris so get styled by them as soon as you can!
