LFW Top Ten

Wow! London Fashion Week came and went so quickly! Following on from New York Fashion Week, we can see more sherbet shades and acid brights, more bold prints and more metallic fabric. Love, love, love! The most surprising repetition of both fashion weeks to me was all the ostrich feathers, seen at Matthew Williamson, Giles, Oscar de la Renta and Prabal Gurung.

My favourite thing about researching the London Fashion Week shows was reading about all the completely different inspirations. Erdem (who was my favourite as per usual) was inspired by the novel Bonjour Tristesse which is about a teenage girl who spends her summer on the French Riviera with her playboy father as she begins to embrace her womanhood and sexuality. You can really see this character in the collection with Erdem's new sexier angle such as the hot pants with lace side-panelling.

I also love Mulberry's theme of the British sea-side which includes rain coats and ribbed leggings. It was very humorous to see after such a miserable summer!

Below are some of my favourite looks from London, along with a little summery of each collection.
