She’s a major fan – as you’ll probably be able to tell from her report on the show and her interview – but it was generally the concensus of the super fashionable crowd that attended, including the always stylish Dr Georgia Lee who sat front row with David Gan, that the Chalayan show was the perfect end to the week of fabulous fashion.
