Creative Fashion in London

Where do I even begin with the fashion in London. As you have seen in my previous blogs I have mentioned fashion here in Rome, as well as Paris, and now London. Many think of Paris as the center of fashion, but after visiting London this weekend I now know the difference and have made my own decision on what is my favorite. Paris is more of just a high end, classy, couture fashion area. London on the other hand is home of the creative, self-expression area of fashion. I really enjoyed seeing this area of stores I have never seen or heard of before. The way people dress there on the street is also really different and so fun to look at. There is one area of London I visited called Camdentown. This is an area of vintage shops, and cheaper outdoor markets of some of the trendiest styles and clothes available. To me that is what fashion should be about, not necessarily the most expensive, but what makes you feel good and happy. That mentality is precisely how the people in London look at getting dressed in the morning. Camdentown reminded me a lot of South Street in Philadelphia times ten in craziness and business. If you ever visit London, and fashion is on your things to experience, make sure you visit Camdentown, and it’s not only for fashion lovers, anyone who wants to see something different this is a place to see.

I really like you post, and I completely agree about the London fashion being on the more goofy/personal/fun side of the fashion world. I don't know if you're in the area but I was doing a search for upcoming London fashion events (how I found you!) and got what sounds like a fairly interesting event coming up in my area:

Thanks for the post, I'm looking forward to reading more from you :)
