Last Night Yetty and myself from Side View Magazine were invited down to attended the Dolci Follie & Paolita Summer Soiree.

The evening was a showcase for not only the beautiful boutique Dolci Follie but for the sensational swimwear designer Paolita.

Above are some of the sexy swimwear designs by Paolita, one of my favorite London based beachwear brands designed by a Greek designer Anna Paola. The designs ooze a Greek goddess feel mixed with the signature style of playful colorful prints. The designs are very flattering and there is something for all body shapes including us more curvaceous girls. The collections consists of bikinis that you can mix and match, Swimming Suits,  Monokinis, Minikinis, scarves, sarongs, and beachwear. Another design aspect I love is that with the sarongs and beachwear (like the kaftan you can see in the above picture), you can transform them from daywear to eveningwear. By simply accessorising them and throwing on a pair of heels.  To view more of there cute collections check out there webpage: www.paolita.co.uk

There was a very warm welcome with summer cocktails from the designer Anna Paola and Joseph from Paolita and Simona Walters, the Dolci Follie store owner and Constance Karol Burks. They presented us with some of the most outstanding handpicked designer lingerie designs from luxury brands from the UK, Italy, France 
and the USA such as Lascivious, Yes Master Black Label, Christies, Chantal Thomass and many more. Simona supports new and up-and-coming talented designers by platforming their designs within the store, which gives her clients exclusivity to exquisite designs.

Dolci Follie is a luxury lingerie beautiful boutique. The store is elegantly decorated in the style of an opulent Venetian Palazzo. Making it very inviting to approach with not only the gorgeous gems within but the friendly and not pushy staff making it easy to view the collections clearly in a relaxing and friendly environment. There is nothing worse than a hard-nosed, unfriendly, pushy sales team, which sadly is something that a lot of high-end boutiques are notorious for. So I would definitely come back to the store, as when buying something as intimate as lingerie, it's important to have confidence, and feel at ease. Simona was also expressing that one of her main passions is personal touch for her clients to help them find that perfect piece of lingerie.

Left the lovely Simona and Constance.

I have to say Dolci Follie is every girl's dream; it was like walking into luxury lingerie HEAVEN. There is something for everyone from sophisticated sensual to the seductive temptress.

So why not head to the boutique and browse the gems for yourself and release your Sexy Summer Seductive Side. For more information check out the webpage: www.dolcifollie.co.uk

Victoria Hill Style Editor of Side View Magazine also known as Mizz V and photographer Fab Pix, second day at London fashion week included some of the following:

ZOE JORDAN FASHION SHOW

The collection was very luxurious, with hints of femininity, with an effortless elegance. There was a mix of beautiful draped dresses that depicted the 30's glamorous era. "The interwar style is referenced throughout the collection; smoking clubs and martinis, picnics and punting, cricket being played out on the lawn. The garments are named after English country estates."

(Pictures by Fab Pix)

The colour palette consisted of rich browny/camel, ginger, nude, bronze, silver, olive, blue and dusky pink. The luxurious fabrics were a mix of layers of silks, tweeds and chiffons. The use of colours and textures created a sophisticated and sleek silhouette.

THE BELLE SAUVAGE FASHION SHOW

This was a very strong collection by the design duo Christian Neuman and Virginia Ferreira in their fourth season at London Fashion Week. The opening dress of the show definitely had the wow factor and was a very powerful dress. (shown below)

(Pictures by Fab Pix)

The collection was very stylised and screamed the signature look of a Belle Sauvage collection. The placement of prints on the pieces was well considered. Pastel shades of lilacs, yellows, mint greens and a magenta range were the colour palette on the fabrics. A subtle sense of colour blocking and vivid digital prints was portrayed throughout. The silhouette was a mix of sharp tailoring mixed with flowing cuts.  A great mix of fabrics such as leathers, pleats of soft light silks layered up with heavier contrasting luxurious silks, chiffons with prints and French embroidered tulle.

The collection on the whole was styled in a clean cut way, with perspex head pieces and sharp white ankle boots. Head pieces can be seen in this backstage picture below:

Here you can see the flowing collection in the finale.

THE EXIT & ADIDAS FASHION WEEK AFTER PARTY

In the evening we were invited to the Exit Magazine and Adidas after party. The Music was a back-to-back DJ set by Creep + Romy XX. There was a lively  buzzing atmosphere at the party, and Absolut vodka cocktails were on tap.

The magazine "Yeah It's Shyy" (as shown in the above picture), is derived of an interview with the blogger Cheyenne and a photo shoot which showcases Adidas sportswear modelled and styled by Cheyenne's natural, sports-influenced streetwear aesthetic mixed with her personality. This is shown in the tear out below:

The crowd consisted of the likes of Cheyenne who's known for her blog Yeah It's Shyy and who was the face of the Adidas x Exit magazine shoot, Jamal Edwards who is the founder of one of the UK's leading new media youth broadcasters SBTV, and Preeya Kalidas who played Amira Shah in Eastenders.
