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...

Mulberry put on a special show for their S/S10 collection, which was held in the grand Claridges. Inspired by Sofia Coppola’s ‘Virgin Suicides’ and Tim Walker’s photography, Mulberry gave us a “dreamy take on schoolgirl crushes and fairground iconography, sharpened with teen angst.” That’s a statement and a half, but they sure lived...

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...

I was lucky to get a seat in this show as it was packed! People were standing on the ledges and overlapping each other on the runway benches. When the lights came up we were greeted with a beige body con dress with bold shoulder detail. The colours were neutral but had an undertone of shimmer that added to the space age feel. Strong shoulder jackets followed beige and...

To celebrate 25 years of the British Fashion Council and London Fashion Week, high street store Warehouse presented winner of the Warehouse Design Competition Ruth Green’s debut collection at 180 The Strand yesterday afternoon. The competition, which was launched alongside the British Fashion Council in June earlier this year, saw course tutors from many of the...

David David’s S/S10 presentation was a short and sweet affair yesterday in Romilly Street. The designer, who showcased his collection in a relaxed, intimate room, stayed true to David David form, offering a small contemporary collection of bright geometric prints and vivid colours. Despite Japanese geometry as a clear inspiration, the S/S10 collection was very...

Last night saw the exclusive Mulberry party at Claridges as the designer label celebrated it’s S/S10 London Fashion Week presentation. Hosted in the Ballroom at Claridges, the party’s décor drew inspiration from the S/S10 collection and featured the same pastel-pearl balloons and carousel horses that were used in the show, as well as having traditional fairground...

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...

This show made me nervous, last season Nicole Farhi suddenly and dramatically reworked her standard style into something fresher, more cutting edge. It was exciting, and I wondered if she would continue this feel through into Spring Summer. Was it as strong as Autumn Winter? No. Was it a let down? No. This was not groundbreaking, and was reigned in somewhat. But it...

I don’t know if you’ve noticed but shoulders are in. And they will remain ‘in’ right through Spring Summer 2010 as well, Betty Jackson will make sure of it. Betty Jackson’s clothes always have her fingerprint clearly marked. You would know you were at a Betty Jackson show, but this is not a criticism. For if you love girlish charm, floral prints and strong...
