The Look Show coming to Westfield Stratford City

We’ve got less than three weeks  till the launch of Westfield Stratford City on 13 September which, in itself is exciting enough, but then just a few days later on the 17 September, we’ll be watching the high street’s best on the catwalk for The Look Show right there in the shiny new centre.  We can’t contain ourselves so of course we won’t.  Here’s what to expect.

Autumn/Winter Collections

Gorgeous new ranges from H&M, M&S, Monsoon and a divine collection from personal favourite Mango (just look at the floaty maxi) are just some of the things you can expect on the runway.

Famous faces

Last year several British and international celebrities joined the front row and this year Sarah Harding will be strutting her stuff on the catwalk this year.  The Girl’s Aloud star can add modelling to her already multi-talented CV when she makes her runway debut on 17 September.

Brilliant bloggers

Look launched a blogging competition to be a VIP at the show and an amazing 300 bloggers entered.  Here are the top 20 who all wrote about why they should be on the front row.  They all make really great reads so do take a look:

The final five will be chosen this week by members of the Westfield team, the Look team and blogger extraordinaire Catwalk Queen.

Caped crusaders

Wondering how to update your wardrobe for the new season? One of the must-have items this Autumn/Winter is the cape, in all its swirling glory.

Cashmere cape, COS £219

It was seen on many designer catwalks. Favourites of ours were Celine, Chloe and Halston. Versions are now arriving daily in high street stores.

You may think the cape is hard to wear, but believe us, it’s not. It is the ultimate statement piece. Just throw it on and get an instant fashion upgrade. It suits all sizes and shapes too. Be warned though – you may feel compelled to swirl around in it like some kind of highwayman or Sherlock Holmes!

The wool cape is the ideal winter cover-up, but we’re also big fans of this trench-style cape from H&M.


Mac-style cape, H&M £34.99

Look out for capes in a range of colours. There are easy-to-wear, elegant styles in camel and black. Styles embracing the season’s military trend in khaki or stone with metal buttons and detail. Or you could stand out from the crowd in bright reds and bold checks.
