LFW issue: Behind the scenes

By Stylist Team

15 years ago

Stylist's second fashion issue, celebrating all things London Fashion Week, is a very special issue. Not only is it glossy, but it comes with four different covers from our amazing 'me and my muse' fashion shoot. When we weren't rubbing shoulders with some of the most influential designers of the moment - and the muses who inspired them, we were carefully positioning smoke machines in an M3 underpass for our second shoot, featuring minimalist fashion, a key a/w trend. Cover girls Erin O'Connor and Nicola Roberts weren't the only glamour pusses we encountered this week. Five beautiful cats joined the Stylist team for a shoot with a difference - cats dripping in jewels and gems. Yes, really!

Erin's final touches

Stylist snapped model muse Erin O'Connor at our cover shoot. She was Tweeting throughout the shoot and later had to rush off to meet photographer Rankin.


Henry & Nicola

Henry, who posed with muse Nicola Roberts for our cover shoot, told Stylist that he'd been to his sister's wedding the weekend before and recited the words to Girls Aloud's song Untouchable as his speech. Nobody noticed until he told them afterwards.

Matthew & Valentine

Matthew Williamson teamed up with muse Valentine Fillol Cordier for Stylist's cover shoot. Telling us about his forthcoming collection, the designer revealed: "It's kind of quintessential, I've gone back to what I do best and tried to express the perfect summer wardrobe for a girl."
