London Fashion Week: Day 2 : The A La Mode LFW Catwalk part 2

Today I spent all day at the Charing Cross Hotel working at the 'A La Mode' International Catwalk show. It was not as hectic as yesterday as things like building the Catwalk etc had already been taken care of the day before which was quite nice :)

Below are a few pics of the backstage and general pre-show preps
