Your faithful Fash Pack would recognise a certain semi-mulleted 'former' rapper anywhere. And what I'm saying is that Kanye West took his new girl, Amber Rose, and an abbreviated posse to the Peter Jensen and Ann-Sofie Back show tonight. Seems he's serious about that fashion career because he picked one of the week's most buzzed-about shows to (nearly) upstage.
Although Rivkie, Naomi and I were just as pleased to see the short-haired blonde directly in front of us. Kate Lanphear (fashion director of US Elle) showed up to the Topshop venue, and it's seriously the jackpot of the fashion lottery to sit a foot away from the person who can even make High School Musical actors look badass.

Seen and Overheard: Making an Entrance
Naomi tends to be very thoughtful, which can either come in handy or get Fash Pack members into difficult situations. Like hauling a Red Bull refrigerator into the champagne lounge of the tent.
"Need a hand?" Naomi asked a poor young thing with a fridge wedged between one hip and two gate posts outside the Natural History Museum. Unfortunately, the girl said yes. This turned into the three of us taking turns holding a side of the fridge, carefully navigating tourists with whining packs of children, and eventually climbing perilously narrow metal steps to the lounge.
At which point, the organiser of the Young Entrepreneur of the Year Awards pulled Naomi, Red Bull girl and myself aside for a scolding. "Check with me the next time you bring over deliveries. That was kind of awkward."
Thanks, Naomi.

Roving Reporter: Ones to Watch
Just managed to run from Leicester Square back to Vuaxhall Fashion Scout to make it into the Ones to Watch show in the nick of time.
Ones to Watch is a new Vaxhall Fashion Scout initiative with an interesting combination of four young designers showing back to back in a group show.
