It has been a relentless month for everyone in fashion, from the designers to the photographers, hair and makeup artists, and stylists behind the scenes. London brought its week to a strong close, with the return of McQueen, Christopher Kane's debut at Mulberry, and Daniel Lee's Burberry closing the schedule, proving the city's creative energy is as potent as ever.

The industry has now moved on to Paris Fashion Week, which runs for nine days from 28 September to 6 October and will define what we'll be shooting, styling and wearing come spring/summer. After weeks of early call times, fittings and late nights, it's the final push, so here's to everyone in the thick of it.

‍One of our MONDE Members Noemie Schelbert was on the ground attending events across London and styling Hector MacLean’s new SS27 collection.

Here’s what she had to say about the experience.

“I loved working with Hector Maclean. It’s one of my favourite ways to work when I’m involved in the whole process - from casting, finding teams, hair, makeup and nail decisions and obviously, fitting and styling. I think it can be seen in the outcome that we were a great team and talked through decisions together. Alex, our consultant and producer, was also an important part of our team. She seems to be able to do anything - definitely a wizard, especially in how she managed to find another venue after we lost the original one less than 24 hours before the show.

Hector’s approach to this collection was layered on so many different levels, from the no waste pattern cutting to how he used colour throughout the collection. Creating around loss and grief, this was reflected in the colour and the lineup, going from dark to light and then into colour, all connected within the Rorschach.

Backstage was hectic, I did like the buzz and had my great team supporting me. But I was so tired after the show, that unfortunately I didn’t even make it to the afterparty. I’d love to see Hector succeeding, and I strongly doubt this is wishful thinking. He’s definitely one to watch closely.”
