London Fashion Week: Sunday 19th February

Topshop will always be my true love....


TOPSHOP UNIQUE


Topshop went for a more sophisticated look this year. We've seen them channel Cruella DeVille and then take us on an Egyptian adventure but this was a lot more refined and definitely made me a lot more happier than their SS12 Collection did. It was clearly military inspired with a nod to trench coats, khaki and leather but with some amazing textures for dresses and interesting shapes added into the mix. It definitely had this urban chic vibe going on this year


MATTHEW WILLIAMSON

The bohemian vibe of Matthew Williamson was as strong as ever with a very rich feel to it at the same time. Of course what stood out most was his beautiful printed textiles used in the collection and I loved the surprise element in there of some great dress shapes. It all had an eclectic feel to it, as if one had thrown many pieces from her wardrobe together and made something amazing. 


VIVIENNE WESTWOOD RED LABEL

As always, Westwood had a truly British vibe going on but not in her rebellious punk way that we were use too. This was also very refined compared to what we would usually expect to see. Tailoring of course alluded to Savile row and yes, it had its quirky moments. Some of the textiles were also inspired by Africa later on in the show.
