Erin O’Connor - muse, brand ambassador and vice  - chair of the British Fashion Council - took some time out of her hectic LFW schedule to talk to t5m about everything from her favourite shows to  her opinion on London as a fashion capital.

Having just come from Luella, Erin describes the show as ‘bright, playful and a bit naughty’ and as ’summing up London’ with it’s daring, eccentric and original looks. She then draws comparison with the more rigid, controlled and demure look at Todd Lynn - well, apart from the horseman shoulders which Erin ‘doesn’t think she can pull off! Even though we’re pretty sure she could…

Erin even has a go at predicting what Christopher Kane might come up with for his spring/summer show using her goodie bag as inspiration - however, fortunately for all of us, there were no alligator’s embossed on any of his designs!

And, just like us, Erin can barely contain her excitement at the return of British institution Burberry with the help of Christopher Bailey - believing it is shows like this which have made London a credible fashion capital.
