David Koma at LFW...

I went out to see the David Koma show last night. I must say it was well worth the trip up to Somerset House. The collection was brilliant (even better in real life). The overall inspiration was taken from vinyl records which quite clearly influenced every single design (even the invitations had a record on them). Apart from this, the collection was very futuristic with bold shapes, sheer fabrics and lots and lots of leather. Black and white were also key players in this collection (I'm sensing a trend coming on here) as well as bright red and blue. I really loved seeing this collection, what do you think?

How is everyone enjoying London Fashion Week at the moment? Which have been your favourite collections? 

WINTERGATE

'Bold lines, caged bodices & armadillo layers create a sculptural silhouette that echoes the manmade. Precise suiting & placement cut-outs highlight sensual zones while fluid silks &sheer panels summon the feminine force. Tonal shades of grey, black & ivory are laced with futuristic chrome, reflective metals and subtle nectar hues.'

Yesterday evening, I went out to see the Sass and Bide show at London Fashion Week. I wasn't disappointed. The show was fashionably late, of course (I swear it must be compulsory!) but there was plenty to look at (there were a lot of well-dressed people milling around and celebrities such as Pixie Lott, Caroline Flack, and Olivia Palermo turned up). The venue (St John's, Smith Square) was a lovely 18th century church in the heart of London, the perfect setting. The show itself was full of wonderful outfits, mainly in black, white, silver and yellow. I personally think the designs were stunning. Take a look for yourself...

What do you think of Sass and Bide's Autumn/Winter collection?

Paisley...

I'm really excited to be going to two designer's shows at London Fashion Week this weekend (sass and bide and David Koma). It's my first ever proper fashion week so it's going to be interesting to see first hand how fashion week really works. Any tips from people who've already been?

Anyway, I'm going to have the difficult decision over what to wear. One possibility is this dress. I bought it in the summer from ebay. It was only £2, so of course I snatched it up straight away. It's served me very well so far and is very easy just to throw on when you don't really feel like creating a complicated outfit. I love the style of it with the collar (I can't get enough of this trend!) and it's always great to have something with a paisley print in your wardrobe. It's also going to be brilliant to wear in the summer. What do you think of my outfit?

Jason Wu

I thought a New York designer was needed today what with New York Fashion Week currently going on. Jason Wu is a brilliant designer. His designs are extremely well made and always very trend setting.  His spring/summer collection in particular is my favourite with a variety of different shapes and textures. One thing, however with these collections is I don't feel they jump out at me for being unique and extremely creative, but that's just my opinion - what do you think?
