With London Fashion Week approaching, are there any particular fashion collections you are looking forward to seeing?</b><br /><br />I love <b>Versace</b> and <b>Dolce & Gabbana</b> and look forward to seeing their designs on the catwalk. I know that fur & leather will be a big feature this year. I’m excited to see what transcends to the high street & also affordable pieces that we can showcase to our customers. I always keep up with this information via <a href="http://www.fashionblagstheblog.com/">@fashionblag</a> on twitter she is an incredible blogger, always at the forefront of the latest trends straight from the runway.<br /><br /><b><br />5. Do you think London Fashion Week 2013 needs to have more fashion models and fashion designers from diverse backgrounds?</b><br /><br />Yes, I most certainly do as thats why I appreciate urban fashion more as I'm able to see a range of colors and sizes. The high street is also seeing that fashion is for everybody and now showcasing peoples individuality as opposed to one specific look. I do appreciate <a href="http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/naomi-campbell-fashion-more-racist-2277409">Naomi Campbell and other models highlighting this issue and being ambassadors of change.</a><br /><br /><br /><b>6. What’s been the most popular item sold on your boutique this year?</b><br /><br />The most popular items is our <a href="http://www.billionairebeautydolls.com/#!vintage/c127k">Accessories Collection </a>as it gave a feel of old school 80’s Hip Hop / Pop fashion with the big gold chunky chains & big pendants. They worked well with everyday looks & nights out. We have now stocked more fashion items such as the latest celeb style dresses as seen Rhianna, Nicole Sherzinger, Keyshia Kaoir, Paris Hilton, Khloe Kardashian & the list is growing. We are excited about the new direction of the store and look forward to a new relaunch this winter and look out for us in 2014!! </span><br /> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdz6BvdPudjFBwDXayTPQRqgrj_pmMRmRfI8mZRHZeBfGgML-nGNizkpZoYXsTYp2FmY8F1q_5nXQuPiK0BfNemaLdzQvmmQLgj4ROD8-CLa0thhXo7RRxaGUy-PUDb36OQcWXX3ZMXO8/s1600/1feace_57562d0b1bb8a0362712bc6f54a63ed6.jpg_srz_354_400_75_22_0.50_1.20_0.00_jpg_srz.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdz6BvdPudjFBwDXayTPQRqgrj_pmMRmRfI8mZRHZeBfGgML-nGNizkpZoYXsTYp2FmY8F1q_5nXQuPiK0BfNemaLdzQvmmQLgj4ROD8-CLa0thhXo7RRxaGUy-PUDb36OQcWXX3ZMXO8/s320/1feace_57562d0b1bb8a0362712bc6f54a63ed6.jpg_srz_354_400_75_22_0.50_1.20_0.00_jpg_srz.jpeg" width="283" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Love this necklace!</td></tr> </tbody></table> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioJKx-lkb1NQJ-VJAuxLn59NpOa66XgrxQqqEl5pzoHN1FE0uYNYobpk7ZaARKdgAsqZjJDrI_9Qu9sGwXDkAj69J1CaJEjLrEN-egsl0cVCswH5JDlwCo87YtUNZNI0Qu0n4-1_mOqJQ/s1600/0-1.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioJKx-lkb1NQJ-VJAuxLn59NpOa66XgrxQqqEl5pzoHN1FE0uYNYobpk7ZaARKdgAsqZjJDrI_9Qu9sGwXDkAj69J1CaJEjLrEN-egsl0cVCswH5JDlwCo87YtUNZNI0Qu0n4-1_mOqJQ/s1600/0-1.jpeg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGorCy4KPHGrR8mRAFClWRSmywMmNdvLQ6_hwXV16EwslA0kR08Ox0Lr9nenHut9gfaACLHwpTjIqejR8fSmr6jieJ-2H37VES6M3Psn2PXTqR1VU8aKfivgqIRp1p2Dtmfx5treOfS34/s1600/0.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGorCy4KPHGrR8mRAFClWRSmywMmNdvLQ6_hwXV16EwslA0kR08Ox0Lr9nenHut9gfaACLHwpTjIqejR8fSmr6jieJ-2H37VES6M3Psn2PXTqR1VU8aKfivgqIRp1p2Dtmfx5treOfS34/s1600/0.jpeg" /></a></div> <br /> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><br /><b>7.
