I hope you have enjoyed the My London Fashion Week series so far.

This aim of this series has been to share how varying people attending LFW, are getting ready for it.

London Fashion Week is now shortly upon us, with the first shows kicking off on September 17th.

It is my pleasure to feature the next installment in the segment.

Name: Neely Reyes.

Occupation:

Founder & Managing Partner of ethical modelling agency, Sapphires Model Management.

My Personal Style in 5 Words:

Retro, Contradiction, Vivid, Comfortable, Demure.

1. Two things that are absolute musts in your bag for fashion week?

My BlackBerry and business cards. Work never stops!

2. Three things that you are doing to prep for fashion week?

-Preparing our show packs to send out to designers for London Fashion Week
castings.
-Arranging schedules for our models.
-Making the most of quiet London before it gets chaotic!

3. One reason why London Fashion week is amazing?

LFW is amazing, not just because of the fantastic shows, but also because of all the weird and wonderful people who attend. My favorite thing apart from watching the shows, is watching the people.

4. Your fail safe tip for getting through the hectic back to back show schedule?

Plan ahead and if all else fails, run!

5. High heels or flats at fashion week?

Heels for the first day or two until my feet say no more, then quietly resign to wearing flats.

6. One outfit you will be wearing at fashion week?

I wish I planned that far ahead! Last season I saw a man wearing a fez,slippers and a smoking jacket. I will have to work hard to top that!

I loved her answers! The one about the man in the Fez hat and a smoking jacket put a smile on my face as I remember seeing him too.

Her stance on the flat or heels at fashion week debate is similar to mine. I wear heels till my feet revolt and then it is on to flat biker boots or chic brogues.

I look forward to seeing beautiful Neely at fashion week.
