It was the first time ever that I had a chance to be in one of the main destinations of fashion week. I have no connection, what soever, to be sitting in Somerset House while the models actually walked down the runway. What I did for fun though, was to stay outside and take pictures of all the people, who were invited for any of the fashion show. 

Before David Koma’s show at Somerset House, as I was walking in, deep in my mind, I was hoping someone would notice me and perhaps take a photo of my look. I didn’t know if someone actually did or not, but what I realized was that as soon as I took my Nikon out of my Baobao bag, nobody even cared to look at me again. I guessed we all know I wasn’t there for the show for sure, judging from the huge lens I was holding. 

In front of Tate Britain, Topshop Unique AW 15 show was about to start, the rain started pouring down unstoppably. Well dressed people were well prepared with personal cars and having somebody escorting them down the museum’s stair with umbrellas, whereas me, I didn’t even have a plastic bag to cover my camera. Well, you could guess how that went. I was soaking wet, but the experience I got was beyond imagined. It was definitely something I would do again.
