London Fashion Week is back for five fabulous days to showcase what every designer has been working up to…S/S 2013! We at Motel HQ can’t wait to get back to Somerset House after the amazing day we had at LFW in February. This season we’re thinking of working the Bryony Dip Hem Strappy Dress – an easy style statement that can tackle the unpredictable September weather. Representing our cousins across the pond, some flouro Jeffrey Campbell Litas are essential for raising the fashion stakes, upstaged only by some Lennon-esque sunnies and a classic Cambridge Satchel!
