It was a real sense of Granny chic at Christopher Kane, just look at those headscarves! There were a lot of florals in artistic, abstract prints on dresses, vertical stripes on maxi dresses, beige hues and of course, classic black. What is ground breaking about Kane is that every season he delivers a completely different look, yet it is still recognizable as Christopher Kane. I loved this collection, especially that khaki long coat.
From September this year, Burberry will only show their catwalk collections when the clothes hit stores, a big shake up to the system. They are such a huge draw at LFW and I can't imagine Burberry not appearing on the schedule. Yet this show by Christopher Bailey was rich, modern and cool with its check coats, blingy mini dresses and opulent colours, such as green, yellow and purple. Metallic shift dresses were simple but printed with glowing snakeskin, parka coats were given a fresh update with large fur lapels, patterned black tights were paired with chunky biker boots and that amazing shaggy green coat looked incredible cinched in at the waist.
The aviator jacket, which was a key piece in New York, was adapted by Bailey with a new over-sized look, a little different from 2010 when he last featured the classic jacket in his Burberry collection. Burberry would not be Burberry without at least one trench coat, but this season it was very difficult to spot just one! They were there, but in very loose, straight cut styles which looked and felt more like a smart winter coat rather than a classic trench. Nevertheless, this collection will feature in all the fashion magazines next season, as part of the best picks of LFW. We expect nothing less from Burberry.
So beautiful and refined, this Erdem collection was grown up elegance at its best. Black lace, floral prints, Victorian bows, and large collars all added to the very English feel, while the lovely dresses at the end of the collection were delicate and feminine. All the shapes were very womanly and quite long, which looked amazing on the models, while hair was clipped back with tiny little clips. A really great show, which I thoroughly enjoyed.
Usually Peter Pilotto go all out for prints, in a simalr way that mary Katrantzou does. Yet for fall 2016, prints were toned down and rather simplistic in soft pastel colours or on graphic black. Instead they focused on prim, proper suits, cute tea dresses and pure elegance.
So much colour, so many sumptuous jewel tones and lots of lovely fur (not sure if its real or faux.) This Roksanda collection was frilly with plenty of abundant ruffles, delicate with sweeping midi skirts and structured with form fitting coats. Everything was splashed with colour in some way or another, and there were the classic geometric Roksanda prints that we have come to love thrown in too.
I chose to feature Antonio Berradi because this collection was just so sophisticated and elegant. The monochrome use of black and white added glamour as did the timeless jumpsuits, classic trench coats in white and black leather as well as the lace detailing. Models looked smart with slicked back hair and a pop of red lipstick while the ankle boots seemed to match every outfit perfectly.
