Ashish can be a bit hit or miss. You see dresses you love and then they’re mixed in with strange jersey pieces or like last season crazy pom poms. This season was coherent, funky, and packed full of pieces you’d want in your wardrobe. Yes, the king of sequins pulled off a really rather good show. This is partly down to letting his fabulous dresses dominate. The feel...

If Alice from Alice in Wonderland were ever to meet Coco Chanel then she may have ended up looking somewhat like Kinder’s creations. An unusual snakeskin print took centre stage alongside monochrome and ladylike tweeds. This was both sleek and girly with an air of eccentricity. Kinder is without doubt a very talented designer. His cuts are clean, smart and elegant,...

It was the one we’d all been waiting for yesterday evening; Krystof Strozyna – and he didn’t disappoint. His S/S10 presentation – held in the modern minimalist Portico Rooms at Somerset House – was a slow-paced catwalk of edgy black and nude pieces with exposed zip details, blurred prints, bright colours, and hugely oversized pastel pink bracelets.

Tight, tight and super tight. Aminaka Wilmont went beyond body con and created a whole new level of cling. Yes there was Lycra, yet the cuts were short and tight but no it wasn’t slutty, instead it was beautiful and feminine. In a collection inspired by dancers and industrial spaces, soft colour palettes were set against laser cut pieces and their trademark prints....

This collection was inspired by the Oscar Wilde story ‘The Happy Prince’ and like the story I loved it. I agree that Bora Aksu is not for everyone, his designs are whimsical, incredibly girly and at times a little over the top. But this collection was more grown up, paired back and far more wearable, yet will still please Bora fans.

Think elegance, think sophistication, think class. They were the overruling themes at Maria Grachvogel’s Spring/Summer presentation. Held on Sloane Street yesterday, the collection was a far cry from the hot pants and corset dresses seen at her 2000 show, which featured guest model, Victoria Beckham. Grachvogel took us back to uptown 1964 with this wonderfully...

So lucky me managed to grab a front row seat at the Ashley Isham show today. The dress designer, who has showed at London Fashion Week nine times, put on a lively show with music from Kasabian and Florence and the Machine. It was clearly a show of two halves – for me, at least; the first was rather vivid, full of bold exotic prints, bright colours and jewels galore,...

Just when we thought we couldn’t get any more excited about London Fashion Week, French Connection have gone and re-launched their popular Bonnie Cotton dress in this gorgeous Magenta colour: all in celebration of LFW’s 25th anniversary celebrations. Just 1500 of these lovelies will be up for grabs and if that doesn’t make you want to scramble for...

Sass and Bide will celebrate its 10th anniversary at London Fashion week. The quirky Australian clothing label will return to the British fashion scene this September to pay tribute to the city where designers Sarah-Jane Clarke and Heidi Middleton founded the business idea. The designers said: “Ten years ago the concept for Sass and Bide was born in London. To be returning...

Amanda Wakeley will show her new range at London Fashion Week. The British designer - who sold her label last December but bought it back in April - is thrilled with the progress the brand has made since she came back. She said: “I am delighted to return to the London Fashion Week schedule in September, especially during such an important season. Through buying...
