The new Saatchi gallery in Chelsea has opened its doors with a new and wonderful exhibition of Chinese art. It officially opens its doors to the public on 10^th October 2008 and it’s free admission. This is an absolute ‘must go see’ on my list of things to do.

The Saatchi gallery is well known for its unique and often adventurous exhibitions and this new one is certainly going to grab your attention. 

It’s called ‘The Revolution Continues’ and has a plethora of contemporary Chinese artists exhibiting their work. The work is exciting and occasionally disturbing, but always nothing less than visually striking  There is huge variety of modern paintings and sculptures on show. And with such a varied mix of artwork, that whatever your taste in art is, you will not fail but to be enthralled and provoked by the inrush of this contemporary artwork from some of China’s leading artists.

This is a must go see event and with the credit crunch biting hard, an exhibition of this calibre that is free admission, cannot be ignored.

One of the highlights of my personal year is London Fashion Week. It not only comprises the best designers from around the world, but is also a showcase for the hottest young new designers. Shown from the 14^th to the 19^th in the wonderful Natural History Museum.

Unfortunately due to my busy schedule, I could only attend tuesday this year, so I had to choose one of my favourite designers Amanda Wakely Couture.  

As you might expect London Fashion Week attracts all the great and good in the fashion world and a few extras to boot.

Naomi did an amazing job of hosting and organizing her Fashion for Relief catwalk show, which you have to admit, is pretty amazing when you think of Naomi’s usual antics. It was a star studded event and one done for a worthy cause.

There are too many amazing designers to mention by name, but special reference must go out to Alice Temperley who is one of Britain’s top designers whose designs can regularly be seen on the A-list set.

London Fashion Week has always been one of the best fashion events of the year. Its bitter rival the New York Fashion Week is always looking over its shoulder to see what London produces and in 2008 London has produced admittedly helped by the welcome return of Alice Temperley.

Not to be missed, it is an absolute must go see event, and one I personally look forward to every year.
