Who: Florence Welch, front-woman of Florence & the Machine
Where: At the opening of the Harrods Winter Sale, Florence arrived on a Harrods Routemaster bus and performed an acoustic set
Wearing: A head-to-toe Chanel runway look from the autumn/winter 2011 collection. Underneath her black and silver floor-length knitted cape, Florence wore a sheer grey silk dress and black fingerless lace gloves, teamed with black velvet heels instead of the lace-up boots that were seen in the catwalk look.
Verdict: If anyone could pull this dramatic Chanel runway look it was going to be Florence, who looks incredible, that cape is just simply stunning. What I love most about Florence is her quirkiness, she has an awkward beauty about her that works really well with this gothic princess vibe, and the black and silver colourway is perfection against her fiery red hair.
I was also impressed with Harrods for picking someone a little different, in the past the iconic department store has had the likes of Jerry Hall, Mischa Barton and Gemma Arterton opening their sales, but this was the first time in the stores 177 year history that a sale has opened with a live performance – and what an amazing choice!!!
