Nanette Lepore last week brought her spring/summer collection to the UK for an exclusive preview.

Brightening up a downright gloomy London evening (you know the score: rainy, cold, um, dark!), the champagne was flowing in her Westbourne Grove boutique in Notting Hill, with the neon-bright, new-season collection the main attraction.
In the capital for a quick 72-hour stop, Nanette gossiped with fashion bloggers (most exquisitely turned out in head-to-toe Lepore), traded shopping tips with eager fans and swapped London restaurant suggestions with the rest of us.

After her UK trip, Nanette was back to New York and then off to Miami – an idea that seemed all the more brilliant as we stepped out into the freezing London evening.
