London Yacht Jet & Prestige Car Show

This week we have been attending the London Yacht, Jet and Prestige Car Show.  

The event is situated at Old Billingsgate Market on the River Thames.

The event has been on since the 8th April, closing today on the 10th at 8pm.  

You do require a ticket to enter the event, however if you are walking along the embankment and fancy a nosy at a Kahn vehicle then we are positioned just outside the main entrance, so you do not require a ticket.

The view from Old Billingsgate over looks the HMS Belfast, Tower Bridge and The Shard. 

Alex & Jamie who are both based in Yorkshire are working at the event!

 If you get chance call down and see the cars, and the guys will be happy to answer any questions.

After my short lived trip to London I am pleased to be back in the office working on some new textiles for the design consultancy and some new lifestyle products!

The office has been brightened up with some spring/summer additions over Easter...

Anyone who follows me on social media may know my news but I thought I had to share it on my blog. I had a very eventful Easter weekend....

The Luxury Network

On Thursday the 19th March, we held a private event in our London showroom on the King's Road . The event was organised through 'The Luxury Network'.
The Luxury network are 'a private consortium of premium brands in each luxury capital of the world.'

The event was a great success and it was lovely to see people networking and making some valuable connections, whilst enjoying our showroom and the luxury vehicles.

 I was at the event representing the 'design consultancy' service that is now available from Kahn Design.   The service is project managed by a designer,   they will be looking at everything from colour schemes, leather upgrades, to unique metal work and embroidery. 

We had many guests at the showroom, from fellow Luxury Network Members to VIP clients. 
A bespoke tailor was in attendance,  Graham from Norton & Townsend. We also had a representative from Blue Harbour Vodka, which sponsored the after party at Le Peep Boutique Park Lane. 

Here are some images from the event at our boutique in Chelsea...

A luxury raffle with prizes consisting of a Kahn Design Swiss Watch, Blue Harbour Vodka & a bespoke suit from Norton & Townsend.

A speech was given from our Marketing Manager Matthew,  who gave details of the vehicles on display.

The event showcased our new Range Rover RS650 in Volcanic Rock, Satin.

We also had the Range Rover Sport 400LE  on show in Aleutian Silver.

London Fashion Weekend

So what can you expect from London Fashion Weekend at Somerset House...

I attended the event on Thursday and Friday last week.  I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of pop up shops at the event. The tickets I had got me a goody bag, seats at one trend show, which this year was put on by the Outnet.com, sister of net-a-porter.  Seats at a designer show, Thursday was Amanda Wakeley, Friday being the fantastic duo Fyodor Golan.  The event is full of fashionistas, bloggers, shoppers & press all there to get a taster of London Fashion Week.  There is so many stalls, from champagne to shoes they have it all!

 Something I really liked was the varied boutiques, unique boutiques that you will have seen on ASOS Market place to Vivienne Westwood & Robert Cavalli. The discounts available at these boutiques is amazing! I would recommend anyone attending, the prices for tickets do vary so if you just fancy a shop the event would be for you!

 I took some photos at the event to show everyone what you can expect from London Fashion Weekend brought to you by Vodafone. What trends are coming up, and my experience...

My beauty favourites that saved me through out LFWend.

Beautiful boutiques in Somerset House. 

I really loved the Maybelline pop up shop, offering any 3 products for £12, 2 products for £10. 
They also had a St.Tropez shop offering discount products and catwalk tans for very little.

I'm going to be putting some images from Amanda Wakeley and Fyodor Golan on the blog this week.
They are from the new spring summer 15 collections and are not to be missed...

London Fashion Week

London Fashion Week may be over but I wanted to include some of my favourite looks from the catwalk for Spring 15.

I'll begin with my favorite ...

Tom Ford, Spring 15 on Monday 15th September.

What I love about the Tom Ford collection is it mainly consists of my favourite colour... black.

The sheer fabrics and high waist lines are beautifully feminine and sexy.

I had to include this image from London Fashion Week, Anna Wintour and Bradley Cooper enjoying the frow at Tom Ford.

Topshop Unique also had some beautiful silhouettes on the catwalk. They showcased these beautiful floaty dresses on Sunday the 14th. One of my favourite looks was this beautiful chiffon dress dripping with beads...

The sunday would have been a dream day for me to attend. The day stole the event for me with Topshop Unique, Mulberry, Sophia Webster and Temperley London.  I have featured Temperley on my twitter and instagram the past few days as I loved the layering and patterns used in the collection.  The simple shapes, clean lines and fabrics are beautiful, classy and perfect. It will be so easy for everyone to recreate this look at highstreet prices aswell.

Burberry London showcased their Spring collection on Monday the 15th. They had a gorgeous mix of soft pastel tones and vibrant colours. I love the make up look, using strong lip colour and face contouring they've made a very soft look very sexy.

That's my round up of my fave looks from London Fashion Week 2014, I'm heading off to London Fashion Weekend today and will be capturing some street styles from the event. I am also super excited to attend Amanda Wakeley & Fyodor Golan!  

Look out for updates this week on my blog, instagram and twitter...

So what have I been up to so far...
Well, I can't believe it I'm in week 3 already!

This week I've been doing fashion research and attended PURE London 2014.  Pure is a fantastic event and I was really impressed at the vast stands and variety of companies in attendance.
 The highlight for me was watching the catwalks and listening to the seminars.

Particularly a seminar from Lee Simpson.  Lee held a talk on blogging, the importance of it in today's digital era and how to use it as a tool to expand your business. Lee's talk inspired me to get back to my office and begin blogging again!


Here are a few photos from the Pure Womenswear catwalk on Monday 4th August, showcasing a few trends which we should be seeing in stores this coming Spring...

There are lots of new and exciting things happening at Kahn HQ.  Follow my blog, instagram & twitter to here all about what I get upto working for this luxurious brand!
