THIS IS ICON: LFW 26

October 1, 2026

THIS IS ICON

If you’ve seen my work before, you’ll probably know who I am. If you’re new here, welcome. I’m Darrick D. Neptune, a Creative Director working across the performing arts and media. I create content for artists, brands and companies, with a particular interest in photography, fashion, arts and culture.

I attended This Is Icon as both a photographer and creative, capturing the evening from my perspective and documenting the people, fashion and moments that caught my eye.

This isn’t intended to be a traditional fashion review. Rather than tell you what a designer intended or analyse every garment, I want to show you what I saw through my lens - the collections, the characters and the moments that made the evening memorable.

And what an evening it was.

This Is Icon brought together fashion, awards and live entertainment for a star-studded night featuring appearances from Kelly Osbourne, Colin Salmon and Tee Green. The evening eventually moved beyond the runway, closing with a live auction, where a painting sold for almost £45,000.

But at the heart of the evening, were the designers.

Each collection brought its own identity, craft and personality to the runway. Rather than ranking them, I’ll let the photography tell that story.

Below is my photographic record of the designers and some of the moments I captured throughout the night.

This is an ongoing feature, so as I discover more about the designers, collections, and stories behind the evening, I’ll continue to build on it.

Welcome to This Is Icon - Through my scope

The Other House

August 29, 2023

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at the other hotel. From the moment I walked in, I was captivated by the stunning decor that adorned the premises. Not only that, but the range of facilities they offer truly impressed me. Whether it was a peaceful workspace or a setting for intimate business discussions, their rooms catered to every need.

Indulge me in calling myself a bit boujee, but I've developed a bit of a penchant for hotels with top-notch gym and spa facilities during my travels. This hotel did not disappoint in that regard, as they had a gym and spa that perfectly met my requirements.

The staff at the hotel were an absolute delight – friendly, attentive, and always up for a pleasant conversation. They truly enhanced the overall experience.

Regarding my room, it was splendid overall, albeit a tad on the smaller side. Yet, it had everything I needed, essentially resembling a cozy mini apartment. I felt at home amidst its comforts.

While there were many aspects that I would wholeheartedly endorse, there were a couple of things that didn't quite meet my expectations. The culinary offerings, unfortunately, fell short. I vividly recall ordering a recommended Caesar salad with salmon on the first day. The taste was decent, but the presentation left much to be desired. The following morning, I opted for a full English breakfast. While the presentation was impeccable, my eggs and toast arrived cold, which was disappointing. That evening, I decided to venture out to a different restaurant for a birthday celebration, and there I was treated to a genuinely sumptuous Caesar salad that could put a smile on anyone's face.

Moreover, it's important to mention that the hotel seems to apply a service charge for nearly everything they offer. This did come across as a bit excessive to me. Fortunately, the area is teeming with alternative dining options, many of which offer heartier and more satisfying meals.

Despite these minor setbacks, I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel/apartment for both brief getaways and extended stays. It's a haven of comfort, luxury, and convenience that shouldn't be missed.

Bristol, a city brimming with vibrancy and diversity, holds a captivating blend of old-world charm and contemporary allure.

In fact, Bristol has earned its place among the top 10 happiest places to work, making it a tempting choice for those seeking both professional satisfaction and personal contentment. Even I, with no ties to London, would seriously contemplate relocating to this vibrant city.

Now, let's delve into five intriguing facts about Bristol:

• Did you know that Ribena, the beloved blackcurrant squash, was invented right here in Bristol? This refreshing beverage has been enjoyed by millions around the world, and its origins can be traced back to this very city.

With its fascinating history, lively ambiance, and unique offerings, Bristol beckons as a city that leaves an indelible impression on all who visit.
