The Victim Fashion Street presentation was a weird one for me. As someone put it aptly afterwards, “It’s hard to go from the shows with substantial backing affording them the ability to source top quality fabrics to those with a lesser budget”. I completely agreed and I had to discard any sub-conscious snobbishness which I had during the show. My initial reaction...

I really could start off this post just being totally negative because the one and a half hour wait outside in the rain before Bora Aksu’s show at London Fashion Week, just didn’t inspire any postivity in me what-so-ever, the only problem is that it was truly worth it! The collection sent out a message that bigger is better with loose fitting tops and jackets, tons...

When it comes to colour, Danish designer Jens Laugesen is known for keeping his palette uncomplicated and simple, contrasting solely black with white and that’s exactly what he did last Friday. Taking inspiration from neo-classical Danish Painter Wilhelm Hammershoj, Laugesen presented a stark collection which in his own words was for the “intelligent consumer”....

London’s trendy G-A-Y club played host to Gavin Pierre Medford’s Autumn/Winter 2007/08 presentation last week Wednesday during London Fashion Week. The show ‘Living in the shadows of vanity’ was dedicated to vibrant contrasting colour and eye catching shine. From the hair and make up to the designs themselves, with men in heels and women in very revealing...

By the time the Kisa show started 1 ½ hours late the audience was expecting something special - and new designer Carolina Marengo didn’t disappoint. Opening with a balloon sleeved top in lustrous white-grey satin teamed with transparent shiny hot pants, Marengo showed herself confident in creating a bold silhouette. Berry-hued mini-dresses with horizontal pleating...

You expect something different when a front-row seat is occupied by a pink-haired tigger (yes, really!), and there were definitely elements of the eccentric at the Avsh Alom Gur show today - most noticeably in his use of millinery techniques spilling into garment design. Woven straw headpieces in traditional brimmed shapes were worn cape-like in pairs on shoulders,...

This emerging brand has real personality as their catwalk show on Thursday demonstrated. With a dominant Tibetan influence it didn’t take long for evidence of this talented pair’s skill in tailoring to become apparent as fresh-faced models styled with long plaits, furry asymmetrical hats and medallion-decorated belts set the scene for a collection of elegant...

Manish Arora is a genius and don’t let anybody tell you different! Yesterday evening the catwalk shone with one of the most extravagant collections of the week so far. It was a complete colour fest from the wigs to the face paint! Black PVC tights were paired with most of the pieces in the collection which consisted of a large selection of various dress styles accompanied...

After spending the morning at Pure London trying to find as many new brands as possible to share with you guys I literally had to run to the Ben de Lisi show for London Fashion Week and was totally worn out by the time I arrived. I do not recommend lugging 5 bags around on the London underground, and for once I was grateful that punctuality is not fashion weeks strongest...
