London Fashion Week: Saturday 18th February


ALICE TEMPERLEY 


Temperley called her look 'Polished Folk' and took the bohemian/folk trend in a new direction that was a lot more elegant, opulent and sophisticated. Style.com criticised the performance calling it weighty, but I had to disagree. Temperley does embroidery and embellishing with such a delicate craft that it has to be applauded and each time it looks completely precious. I also felt that the look to the show was unexpected in a good way. It took a slightly different direction to usual but still had her signature style. 

SIMONE ROCHA

Rocha comes from Central Saint Martins and presents herself as a new must see designer. The most interesting thing about Simone Rocha is the unique way in which she works with textiles and how she puts them together. She creates looks that young women will actually want.

ALICE PALMER

Alice Palmer may not be a major name but this is my kind of thing and I love it. The way the materials have been draped and twisted together is so unique and edgy and brings a nice surprise to the calendar. It has a grunge feel to me but more like structured grunge. The subtle colour palette works really well.
