London Fashion Week AW08: Jaeger London
Everyone knew the Jaeger London show would pull in a crowd - after all it was the brands debut on the international catwalk scene - but I’m not sure they anticipated (myself included) that the collection would be such a hit.

Bright colours came in the form of yellow belted jackets and voluminous mini dresses. Stand out pieces included a wet-look silk maxi dress and a tanned wool shawl, cinched at the waist!
