London Fashion Week: Day 1 Highlights
Day 1 of LFW was as hectic as expected, large crowds, schedule clashes and torrential rain all failed to quell the air of excitement and tension surrounding Somerset House. My first show of the day was Bora Aksu with his strongest collection so far, backstage prior to the show all eyes were drawn to the delicate lace detailing paired with pale summer tones, all nods to his Turkish heritage.…

Words: Katlin Siil
Day one of London Fashion Week was a colourful mixture of what London has to offer as a fashion capital. We saw sleek minimalism (Zoe Jordan), construction-deconstruction (Jean Pierre Braganza), ironic kitsch (PPQ) and rock’n’roll structuralism (Sass and Bide).
