Tuesday we went to Moda, a fashion show at the NEC, P came with me again which suits me because he drives and we usually get lunch out. I wasn't looking to buy unless something really caught my eye, just keeping aware of the trends for Autumn/ Winter. It's not as good as the London shows but they had a fair amount of new exhibitors, particularly from the far East and Asia. There's so much nice stuff on display at these shows it would be nice if you could buy one-offs for personal use but of course that's not allowed.
So aside from the bags they had footwear, skirts and dresses, lingerie, bridal gear, beautiful tops, jewellery and a men's section which we didn't even get to. Models on every corner, all very colourful and a complete change from the office, I particularly liked some of the leather clothing (did you know they do leather bras, I knew they did PVC) and the high length knee boots. P said some were the kind of things women on my slutty telephone kiosk cards wore. I told him I liked them, he just looked said hmmm. We did a double take on the 'Spanx' stand, for those of you who don't know them they're underwear and swimwear to slim your bottom and tum and all those other bits you get when you get older. I didn't see any signs of spanking not even the tiniest innuendo and the girls looked bored silly.
Moving on from there we turned into a new aisle and there it was ahead of us 'Hermione's Collection'. I couldn't believe it, Hermione coming all this way and not telling me! The dresses were all silk, long, beautiful colours, I asked P to get a photo of the stand and be sure to get the name on it, he did but too far away and it's blurred. (you may just be able to make out her name if you increase the picture size.) So we went closer right into the stand and he went to take another snap on his nokia when Miss Prim came over and told us 'no photos' because they wouldn't do justice to the dresses, I felt like saying kindly fetch Hermione over, she'll let me take photos, but instead Miss Prim handed me one of their catalogues and said it was better than photos. I didn't like to tell her we only wanted to snap the name on the stand and didn't give a hoot about the dresses.
So Hermione, were you there? Should I have asked for you? Fancy hiding your creative talent under a bushel, very naughty :)
