We find packing for a one-week stay in Majorca difficult enough, but imagine the stress of packing for an entire fashion month? Lax basics for castings, comfortable joggers for travelling, chic outfits for the shows and glitzy evening dresses for those all important fashion week parties must all be considered. Model Neelam Gill is all too familiar with the process. Now on the final leg in Paris, Neelam gives us a look into her fashion week suitcase and her tops tips for surviving the month...

Neelam talks GLAMOUR through the items she won't be leaving at home this season, including a fitted orange jumper, her necklace phone case (NEED) and some super 90s camo print trousers.

As for those snazzy fashion week parties, Neelam has picked out her fashion week wardrobe with the help of Label/Mix - a new website which hosts a collaborative collection designed with an ever-changing roster of designers from J.Won to Rejina Pyo and Teatum Jones at a more accessible price point. Win, win all round. See the video here:

Neelam's picks from Label/Mix include the furry bag of dreams by AV Robertson, oversized jeans by Rejina Pyo, a velvet dress by Osman and a jersey dress by J.Won which Neelam calls her fave look from her selection.

Oh, and Neelam's secret fashion week saviour? Nandos, of course. Now there's a girl after our own heart...

Label/Mix is available exclusively at next.co.uk.
