Tallulah Harlech presents a round-up from this year’s London Fashion Week.
2 minute Q&A:
FAULT: Stand-out show?T: Mary Katrantzou
Best newcomer? Maarten Van Der Horst at Fashion East
Weirdest item/style/pattern? There was some patent leather, which looked like latex that kept coming up. Did it work? For sure! Chic with an edge.
Best model moment? Doutzen walking in the Giles show
Starstruck moment?
How lame… I don’t get startstruck.
Top piece of advice for stylists looking forward to Autumn/Winter? Military, leather, fur and Morticia Adams…
General advice on styles to look for/avoid?
Floral prints have somewhat maintained their sturdy trend-although I reckon they’ll be on the out soon. Wear trousers instead of jeans. This winter has bright autumnal colours and the obvious dark shades we see time and again.
If only you could pick up the detail of the dresses in these images – because they were brilliant on the runway
Bet Alexa’s gonna wear this first!
Super sleek collection, I love it.
The patent leather made the dresses in this collection and the open back cut out was immense. Super sexy whilst keeping understated.
Martyr’s in the church. This was absolutely stunning.
This collection was like Morticia Adams’ sexier sister.
A lot of great suits, leather – brilliant mid-thigh suede boots
I really liked this collection, great prints and leather/fur accessories harden the tone making the pieces stronger
The perfect harness
Amazing knits – amazing latex!
I can’t get enough of Marchesa – the most delicately and intricately constructed stunning dresses
The short version of this is brilliant as well
You can see the colour and sculpture in this one, they each were incredible in person.
Everyone went ape-shit-crazy over this collection. Absolutely brilliant, I adored it and am longing to wear it. The laser prints, embellished detail (which doesn’t really come through in the pictures) and beautiful structure made it completely brilliant.
These guys are always a favourite of mine. Sleek and emerging. The lines and fabrics are flattering whilst pushing an edge.
Red Valentino AW2012
Beautiful suits and dresses just wondering how the textures fall in real life when you’re standing still…
The opening and closing around the neck was the best feature of this collection.
I got the Burberry vibes watching this show in a military-highland-grunge kind of way. Amazing oversized coats and some great loose kilts which I’m excited by.
Victoria, Victoria Beckham AW2012
Z Spoke by Zac Posen AW2012
…and the top fashion films so far this year:
SHOWstudio: Nick Knight, Karlie Kloss, Kate Phelan for Topshop
Karlie is my favourite, completely and utterly desirable and brilliant here.
