Try not to judge too hard if you please - sometimes the traffic is really bad and often we have been up really late and really do need a coffee. Sorry.

• "I'm so tired, my skin is terrible"

• "Where's my driver?"

• "I'm tanned? Thank you. I've just come back from St Barths/Mustique/Mykonos/Almalfi"

• "I am a model, blogger and DJ"

• "How are you surviving London Fashion Week? [said with the level of sympathy usually bestowed on the bereft]"

• "I can't remember the last time I could feel my feet"

• "Do you have any of that coconut water left?"

• "Why do fashion labels make invites the size of A3 paper?"

• "I am OBSESSED with [insert inadvisable, impossible-to-wear trend]"

• "Do I look ok?"

• "Our driver is stuck in that one way system around Soho. Urgh traffic."

• "I've only eaten pop chips and vitamin water today. Can we stop off at Itsu before Kane?"

• "I miss Cara"

• "That's so chic" [the most overused fashion world in fashionese]

• "They should provide earphones for babies on front row. This show is so loud."

• "Is that Sienna on the front row? Oh no, it's Mollie from The Saturdays."

• "Oh I just threw it on."

• "Where did I get it? Oh I think a little vintage shop in rural China, sorry."

• "Can't we get closer to the car? [car has reached the door]

• "I'm SO gonna blog that"

• "Maybe she's born with it; maybe it's an Instagram filter"

And finally... five Fashionese terms decoded:

• Homage = blatant plagiarism of a look, era or designer

• Transitional fashion = clothes to wear inbetween seasons

• Tricky trend = utterly impossible to wear

• Directional = something that looks completely bonkers now, but will eventually be diluted for high street purposes (aka the quickest pieces or trends to date)

• An investment piece = a means of justifying an expensive item
