DAY 3

ACNE

AN ULTRA-COOL COLLECTION; TRES CHIC AND SHARP, YET STUNNINGLY LAIDBACK AND WEARABLE.

RICHARD NICOLL

A SURPRISINGLY GOTHIC OFFERING FOR SPRING. I PREFER THE LIGHTER PARTS OF THE COLLECTION- GENTLE NUDES AND THERMO-CRIMPED PLEATS, LOVELY.

MICHAEL VAN DER HAM

CREATIVE, UNIQUE AND WORKED WITH AN AIR OF SUSTAINABILITY.

MARY KATRANTZOU

AN INVENTIVE AND CONCEPTUAL COLLECTION FOR KATRANTZOU'S FIRST CATWALK SHOW. IMPRESSIONISTIC GRAPHICS GRACE BODY-CON DRESSES WITH THE CONCEPT BEING "TO PUT THE ROOM ON THE WOMAN RATHER THAN THE WOMAN IN THE ROOM". MAGRITTE WOULD HAVE BEEN JEALOUS.

DAY 4

CHRISTOPHER KANE

NOT ONLY DID KANE NOT USE BLACK, HE TOOK A COMPLETE DIRECTIONAL SHIFT- OPTING INSTEAD TO EMPLOY EVERY COLOUR THAT CAME TO HIS PREVIOUSLY-MONOTONAL-MIND. 'PLEATHER' (PERFORATED LEATHER) MIMICKED LACE LIKE TEXTURES; TEAMED WITH THE LIKES OF ARGYLE KNITS AND GRAPHIC PRINTS, THE COLLECTION DESERVES TO BE PACKAGED IN MR KIPLING BOXES.

ERDEM

CLEARLY NOT READY TO LET GO OF HIS FLOWING FLORAL DRESSES QUITE YET, ERDEM'S OFFERING WAS BEAUTIFULLY FEMININE. (NOT TO MENTION THE INSANE BEAUTY OF THE MODELS- WHERE DOES HE FIND THEM?) AN ECLECTIC MIX SAW WHITE LACE, HARLEQUIN PATTERNS AND ORGANIC WASHED OUT PRINTS, THROWN TOGETHER WITH STYLISH CONSIDERATION.
