  • London Fashion Week SS10: William Tempest
    Hands up right now, I love William Tempest, and after being slightly disappointed with his ill fitting collection last season I was very excited to see his Spring/Summer 2010 offering. The catwalk was suitably packed but sadly started an hour late, however, it was worth the wait. Gorgeous structured dresses strutted down the catwalk in fabulous metallic grey and coral...

  • London Fashion Week SS10: Jaeger London
    This show had a very starry front row. Not only was Peaches Geldof, Jade Parfitt, Erin O’Connor and Tamsin Egerton there but David Walliams also put in an appearance. However it wasn’t any of these who caused the catwalk to fall into mass excitement, but instead it was the presence of fashion royalty. Yes Anna Wintour was there looking as polished as ever. But back...

    Avsh Alom Gur’s Spring 2010 static installation was a busy affair and the fashion pack were eager to view Gur’s first solo collection since leaving the now defunct Ossie Clark earlier this year. After a short drinks reception, the curtain was drawn back to reveal a model wearing one of Gur’s latest creations. The black and white two-piece consisted...

  • London Fashion Week SS10: Matthew Williamson
    Matthew Williamson made a much anticipated return to the London catwalks. And his Spring Summer look was clean, sexy and somewhat futuristic. Again shoulders were key and the colours were purples, hot pink, silver and flash of lime. The shoes very nearly stole the show, but then the dresses, the dresses really did do all the talking. The embellishment was stunning, encrusted...
