LFW : Catwalk Favourites

Every season I tell myself I will go down to London for Fashion Week, and yet again I missed out... BUT I'm 100% going to go in September! It's in writing now so I have to do it. 

London is perhaps the most outlandish of fashion month; anything goes as long as it's statement making and bold. This aesthetic is also reflected in the street style, major inspo both on and off the catwalk!

Topshop Unique

I want this whole collection in my wardrobe right now! So seventies, so wearable!

Burberry Prorsum

This collection shouldn't work, but it does. If there was ever an advert for getting creative with prints and patterns, this is it!

Antonio Berardi 

I really love the colour palette here and the mixture of structural silhouettes.

Marques'Almeida

I'm just obsessed with the denim, I love how any item of clothing is transformed if it's re-made in denim.

Roksanda

I think this collection is my favourite of all so far, everything about it is perfect. The bold colour and texture clashes with the ladylike silhouettes and it's truly a heavenly mix. These bright colours are so refreshing for AW.

Christopher Kane

I think this collection is all about perception and contrasts. Its daring.

Mary Katrantzou

The constituent elements of this collection seem to be at odds with one another, but it strangely all works together. The contrasting materials create something beautiful.

Emilia Wickstead

There's a certain easy elegance and covetability about Wickstead's collection. And a little bit of luxury. 

Next up Milan! Check back this weekend for my favourites!   

Fashion Month Round-Up: My SS15 Catwalk Favourites

I really could go on and on about all the collections and looks I loved from each Fashion Week this month, for fear of missing out on mentioning a fabulous collection, but I feel that may get a little monotonous. I could also sort through each show to find the most wearable pieces but - dreaming and lusting aside - I cannot really afford any of the clothes shown throughout September so the wearability of a collection isn't the first quality I look for. When these trends and looks filter down to the high-street, then we'll talk.

For me, Fashion Month is about simple unadulterated appreciation of beautiful design. I have a real passion for clothes and dressing. To some this may seem vain or just a waste of time, but to me it's something I hope to base my whole future career on. I've picked out a handful of collections from across each Fashion Week that stood out to me, this list is by no means exhaustive and I've probably forgotten some of my favourites! 

Marchesa

Florals for Spring may seem clichéd, but floral on floral mixed with lots of ruffles is not.

Isabel Marant

I know I said wearability wasn't my priority, but I could happily wear this collection every single day!

Alberta Ferretti

If you want to feel like a wood nymph next Spring, Alberta Ferretti has you covered.

Bottega Veneta

Possibly my absolute favourite of them all, possibly... It's so hard to pick! I think this collection could be something Zara may interpret well... Hmm.

Roksanda

Roksanda is just a feast of colour, I love it! It makes me happy just to look at this collection. Also, I am definitely crushing over Roksanda Ilincic's personal style!

Topshop Unique

Laidback cool. The Topshop Unique show epitomised everything every girl wishes to achieve.

Chloe

The Chloe show was distinctly French. Parisian chic is always a look to aspire to.

Fendi

The Fendi show really made me sad that I don't have a bigger budget...

I'm sorry I haven't been posting as much lately, I just started back at uni and I'm trying to work blogging into my timetable. I'll be back posting more regularly soon!
