If you could choose anyone in the world to wear your jewellery, who would it be?

Kate Moss. She’s beautiful, and so effortlessly stylish. She’s not afraid to be herself and one of the main ideas behind my designs; to be unique and have fun with what you wear.

Where did you get your inspiration for your most recent collection?

My Summer Picnic Collection was inspired by an amazing trip to Brazil over New Year. It’s fun and colourful and it’s full of all kinds of crazy things like footprints, flippers and fish.

What has been the highlight of your life in fashion?

Me and my sister hosting the Moustache Party for Vogue’s Fashion Night Out. We had the party at Yube, we all had one of my True Gentlemen moustaches. It was so cool, so stylish and so much fun!

To have a Blog on Spanish Vogue is something most designers would die for, why did Vogue choose you? 

I have a lot to write about! Designing my collections, living in London; people get a real insight into my life. I think the best blogs are the ones people can relate to. I try to create looks that are a bit different and I think people relate to that. Stylish Disorientation Patricia Nicolas Blog for Spanish Vogue.

Where is your favourite hangout in London?

If I’m clubbing I love Box. East London is a great place to hangout, its full of really individual and creative people and it has this laid back vibe that’s hard to find elsewhere.

 What is your favourite fashion shop in the world?

Yube, of course! They have only the best brands, and only the best pieces. It has a great atmosphere too, not to mention its owned by my lovely sister. She has perfect taste!

What has been the craziest moment you have had in fashion?

This was my worst moment. During the last London Fashion Week, I went to a big party at the club ‘La Baron’. I was wearing my favourite high heels from Miu Miu. The club has a very steep staircase, and at my entrance to the party I fell all the way down from the top. It was so embarrassing but I couldn’t stop laughing.

We met the wonderfully nice Kelsi during London Fashion week. Kelsi had brought over some of the best emerging fashion design talent from our favourite buying trip city, LA. Kelsi is British, lives in LA and is one of the leading fashionistas on the west coast of the USA. Kelsi is not only the Director of the Los Angeles Fashion Council, she also runs two very influential fashion blogs, Two Point Oh La, the Los Angeles union for Fashion, Beauty and Style bloggers. Kelsi’s other fashion blog is the super cool Dedicated Follower Of Fashion. Not satisfied with three Fashion Director roles, Kelsi also runs Stylesmith, which has a long history of producing fun and engaging fashion events—from shop openings to intimate brand presentations to full-blown fashion shows and parties. Kelsi has recently launched an online shop on asos market place called ”Le Shoppe” by Los Angeles Fashion Council, the shop features the work of some of Los Angeles most talented, emerging designers. Where does she get her energy from, must be the LA sunshine!

Why did you start the Los Angeles Fashion Council?

I started the Los Angeles Fashion Council out of sheer frustration! There was a line in Mad Men the other day which sums it up quite well “Dissatisfaction is a symptom of ambition. It’s the coal that fuels the fire.” and that’s really what it comes down to. No one was doing it right, there was no community, no outlet and a terrible global reputation. We’re seeking to set the record straight about L.A and, as our website says “elevate Los Angeles fashion design by creating a platform for presentation on local, national and international levels, as well as by providing education, funding and support”

Whats your favourite hangout in LA?

I’m a downtown girl, I love wandering the Alleys and supply stores in the Fashion District (effectively the wholesale district of Los Angeles), I love “doing lunch” in the various wonderful café’s that keep cropping up. The Tiara Café is an old favourite and The Artisan House, a new one. I also love the vegan cupcakes at Babycakes (sooo L.A – but they started in NYC!) I’m also a massive Los Feliz fan, I love the village feel and a day in Malibu, will always set my spirit straight. That’s what’s so amazing about this city – it’s a million mini cities in one.

Whose your favourite LA Designer?

You realise that’s like asking me to pick one of my children right? Haha. On a day to day basis, I could live in Wren by Melissa Coker – but I love all of them – I love the spirit and innovation in this city. It thrives on dreams and you can see that in the work of our designers.

Whats your favourite fashion shop in LA?

Oof. That’s another toughy! I do love Ron Herman (all over), Confederacy in Los Feliz, Shareens Vintage in downtown, Six Hundred in downtown – which has been super supportive of emerging designers.
