LFW SS11

I'M BEHIND. BY A LONG SHOT, AND I KNOW THAT.

REGARDLESS, I WASN'T GOING TO LET LONDON FASHION WEEK- THE CAPITAL OF FASHION WEEKS, GO BY UN-BLOGGED.

MISERABLY, I COULDN'T MAKE IT TO LFW BUT TALKING TO FRIENDS WHO ATTENDED MAKES ME ENTIRELY, SINCERELY JEALOUS. THE ATMOSPHERE, THE MOOD, THE BUZZ THAT SURROUNDS SOMERSET HOUSE IN SEPTEMBER AND FEBRUARY GIVES LONDON THE EDGE THAT OTHER EN VOGUE CITIES CAN'T MATCH. THE ECLECTICISM AND DIVERSITY OF STYLE MAKES LONDON WHAT IT IS, THE FASHION CAPITAL OF THE WORLD.

LONDON

DAY 1

MARIA GRACHVOGEL
A BEAUTIFULLY EMOTIVE DISPLAY OF SHEER ELEGANCE. DRAPE, LUCID FABRICS AND THAT SUNSHINE CHIC YELLOW.

SASS & BIDE
A BRAND THAT I LOVE PRESENTS A COLLECTION WHICH I EQUALLY ADMIRE. ELEMENTS OF HISTORICAL INSPIRATION SHOW THROUGH NECK RUFFS, KNOTTING AND SIMPLE RAFFIA-LIKE TEXTURES. PURSUING WITH THEIR WARRIOR-QUEEN AESTHETICS FOR THE SPRING COLLECTION, I LOOK FORWARD TO SEE HOW SASS & BIDE COLLECTION INFLUENCES THE HIGH
STREET. 

 

PPQ
NOT USUALLY A FAN ABOUT COLOUR, PPQ'S CIRCUS-THEMED OFFERING COULDN'T HELP BUT GET ME EXCITED ABOUT CHROMA. THE CIRCUS-MONKEY HATS, WHICH SHOULDN'T HAVE WORKED BUT DEFINITELY DID, COMPLIMENTED PRINTS, PATTERNS AND CONTRASTING COLOUR CREATIONS.

DAY 2

 DAKS

TO DESCRIBE THIS COLLECTION AS BLAND WOULD BE AN INSULT IF IT WASN'T FOR IT'S EFFORTLESSLY CHIC TAILORING, LAID-BACK LUXE APPEAL AND ULTRA SOPHISTICATED MINIMALISM. MY SPRING INSPIRATION IS SET.

HOUSE OF HOLLAND

ICE-SKATING BARBIE DOLLS WERE THE CLEAR INSPIRATION FOR THIS SPRING COLLECTION. IF YOU SQUINT HARD ENOUGH, YOU CAN PROBABLY SEE MATTEL PRINTED ALL OVER THEIR PRETTY LITTLE KNICKERS.

BODYAMR

THAT COBALT BLUE WITH THAT SHEER OFF-WHITE- WOWWOWWOW!
