Welcome to My Week In Fashion! Every week, Gemma Hayward - Grazia's Senior Fashion Editor - shows us what she's seen, loved and bought. Scroll below to see what she's been loving this week, from her Moroccan shoot to going on a helicopter trip over London to celebrate AirMaxDay….
** 1. Air(Max)wolf**
It's not everyday I'm invited for a helicopter ride over London so I jumped at the chance when Nike invited me to do just that to celebrate AirMaxDay. What I didn't know until I got there, was that the helicopter was, in fact, door-less and I had to swing my legs out to get a snap of my new Nike Air Max’s! I was PETRIFIED, but quite proud of myself for going through with it.
2. Denim Obsessive
I’m always on the hunt for a new pair of jeans, forever searching for that perfect fit and if you are as much of a denim obsessive as me then you need to check out the new Levis 501 CT jeans. Meaning ‘cut and tapered’, the jeans are a limited edition collaboration between Levis and Net-a-Porter.com’s denim buyer Octavia Bradford. They’re handmade in San Francisco and take 72 hours each to make, which explains the £250 price tag, but for denim enthusiasts, they should be on your wish list.
3. Moroccan Adventure
Here’s a sneak peak of my high street story which is published in next weeks Grazia. I love the laid-back boho look (dress by Miss Selfridge), which sits perfectly in the beautiful surroundings of our locations - Riad Edwardand in the rug shop in the middle of the Medina.
4. Working Process
I haven’t managed to get to Savage Beauty yet, but I was privileged to be shown around the exhibition Working Process at the Tate Britain by Nick Waplington, the art photographer. His images Alexander McQueen’s production of his ‘Horn of Plenty’ collection are breathtaking and made extra special as my dear friend (and Grazia’s Fashion Director) Susannah Frankel was part of the project and narrates the exhibition and book. It’s wonderful, go and see it.
5. Pancake Days
I know Shrove Tuesday was a while back but I didn’t get to have any pancakes so when I had a breakfast appointment at Kensignton Square Kitchen last week, I couldn’t resist. With added yogurt, berries and honey it was a pretty delicious. I can’t wait to go back.
