London Fashion Week A/W 10/11
Gems from the first few days. I'm very much enjoying the
live coverage of the shows, i expect it to be the only chance to grace the front row whilst wearing your pajamas.
Charles Anastase (20/2/2010)A mixed bag of a collection, in the best sense: felted wools, beautiful
peacock blue highlight colour, layered chinese silk trousers. Entitled
Winter garden the collection was inspired by the strange occurrence that summer fruits and exotic flowers are available even in the depths of winter. A nod to the issue of
climate change in the form of a painted skull on one of the model's faces.
TopShop Unique (20/2/2010)I always pay particular notice to Unique because, quite frankly, it's the only collection that sits somewhere within the student budget. Every element of the show had wit, charm and just enough chaos.
A ferrel- woodland nymph- boy scout- 'where the wild things are' cocktail. Reinvented country classics, over sized blanket-style coats, longer length chiffon wonders accessorized with
super sized mittens and Emma Cook animal hats.
Mary Katrantzou (20/2/2010)Lace, jewels, medals and sashes. Katrantzou's juxtaposition of
elaborate rococo decoration and digital printing make for a collection that has broken the trend for the minimalist, geometric print that in the past, London has been characterised by.
