February 26th, 2010 · Comments Off · Fashion, Shopping, Stores, Videos

Alluring, coquettish, enigmatic and knowingly seductive – this is the new French Connection woman.  Paying homage to their name, French Connection have reinterpreted their image with a chic new campaign for Spring/Summer 10, inspired by French New Wave cinema. The provocative FCUK logos that were so synonymous with the brash 90s have been replaced by a [...]

LFW Day 3: Harriet’s Muse presentation

February 22nd, 2010 · No Comments · Designers, Fashion, London, London Fashion Week

After spending the afternoon trawling around central London’s H&M stores for some serious Sonia Rykiel shopping, I headed back to Vauxhall Fashion Scout for the the Harriet’s Muse presentation.  At first I thought I’d missed all the action, with fashion folk toasting a handful of dresses and a vacant gold backdrop. About 20 minutes later, [...]

LFW Day 3: Doii Paris at Vauxhall Fashion Scout

February 22nd, 2010 · 1 Comment · Designers, Fashion, London, London Fashion Week

It’s the third day into London Fashion Week and the majority of the fashion industy has swapped vertiginous heels and blazers for flat military boots and wool coats.  Perhaps the sartorial shift had something to do with swapping Sunday morning in bed with coffee and the Sunday Times Style for a typically delayed show or the [...]

LFW Day Two: Jacob Kimmie at Vauxhall Fashion Scout

February 21st, 2010 · No Comments · Designers, Fashion, London, London Fashion Week

Jacob Kimmie’s show was one of the highlights of the Vauxhall Fashion Scout schedule and his collection was certainly the most dramatic, much helped by the spectacular Masonic Temple location. The self-taught South-African designer’s monochrome A/W 10-11 collection, ‘Pilgrims’ was inspired by modern Aztec spirituality, Inca temples and religious rituals.  The delicate ruffles and bright [...]

LFW Day Two: Iris Van Herpen @ Vauxhall Fashion Scout

February 21st, 2010 · No Comments · Designers, Fashion, London, London Fashion Week

Dutch designer Iris Van Herpen really knows how to create an atmosphere, from the cinematic, industrial music down to the models’ other-worldly, meditative expression.  The attention to detail is absolutely mesmerising. Iris Van Herpen left a lasting impression on me from last season’s Blow Presents… show and her Autumn/Winter 10-11 collection, ‘Synesthesia’ succeeded once again [...]

LFW Day One: Bora Aksu A/W 10-11

February 20th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Designers, Fashion, London, London Fashion Week

First of all, Bora Aksu’s on-schedule show was in the BFC and it was a major crush, which caused heels flying and much tutting.  The show started to an atmospheric soundtrack of Fever Ray and the models also seemed to be channelling that Scandinavian ethereal style. The first part of the collection featured beautifully tailored, organza skirt [...]
