London Fashion Week Favourites

This post took an incredibly long time to put together but I think it was almost compulsory for me to have a Fashion Week round up post so here it is. I found it really difficult to actually narrow down the designers to 3 a day as there were so many I liked (especially on the Monday) but I finally managed it...

Holly Fulton Spring/Summer 14

I had a really great time yesterday when I went to see the Holly Fulton show at London Fashion Week. Not only did I get to see the collection but I found the courtyard in Somerset House was the best place to people-watch. There were a lot of very exciting outfits there (...as well as a few mistakes). As everyone there was dressed in Autumn/Winter clothes, it gave me quite a few ideas and I'm actually really liking the trends for next season. One trend you really couldn't miss, was the amount of black clothing (literally everywhere you looked someone was sporting the all-black look). The show was amazing of course and I loved the use of colours and the different patterns and prints. Going to a show really makes you appreciate the way in which something is worn and the way it moves and fits on the body, something which really can't be shown in a photograph. I had a good view luckily, and the layout had changed from the classic catwalk to a sort of walk-around-the-room arrangement, making it a lot more spacious.

What do you think of this collection? Did anyone else go/is going to LFW?

5 standout collections at LFW...

... apart from Sass and Bide and David Koma which you can find here and here. I thought London Fashion Week was really great this season. All of the collections seemed to be exceptional and all designs were incredible both from regular designers and new designers. I've picked out my personal 5 favourite collections. Here they are...

Antonio Berardi

I'll admit I haven't taken much notice of this designer before, but scrolling through his latest collection I must say I was really impressed. Although, these designs aren't the most creative and 'out there', they're extremely well designed and still exciting to look at. I'd definitely wear one of these designs myself - I mean look at that red leather dress!

 Christopher Kane

Everyone loves Christopher Kane, and so do I, but the truth is I hadn't been feeling 'it' over the last couple of seasons, but this collection has made me love his designs again. I felt that his last collections were quite simple and there was never that spark or that unique quality. This collection, however, is far more exciting and unusual. 

Fyodor Golan 

 This collection is seriously exciting. The shapes and textures are all brilliantly designed and there is a wonderful mix of different designs and garments. I'm definitely going to be looking out for this designer next season. 

Marios Schwab

Again, another designer I hadn't noticed much before. This collection is stunning.  Velvet and leather is always the perfect mix! (Look at that stunning blue velvet dress!). I can't wait to see what else this designer creates next season.

 Peter Pilotto

I was seriously impressed by this collection. It's quite weird to think that this is a winter collection what with it being so colourful and vibrant, but I love this! The sculpture and shape here is brilliant and the prints are really exciting (a slight Mary Katrantzou feel about them).
