Nicole Farhi
A clean, simple and thoroughly modern collection. Pieces that we have come to expect and love from Nicole Farhi. Understated evening wear had a little shimmer, whilst subtle prints and silver tunics added something special.
Christopher Kane
Granny on acid from Mr Kane. Florals on neon leather in ladylike shapes created the wonderful theme for the collection. Trusty twinsets and skirt suits were re-invented with a modern twist. I loved the contrast between the traditional silhouette and the neon brights. Then a gorgeous dragon print and expert pleating. Absolutely loved this collection.
Mark Fast
A combination of Mark Fast's signature spider knitwear with a bit of Swarovski and a bit of neon fringing. This proved to be a winning combination indeed. I loved how it exemplified how knits can be used with other design details to create strong and interesting pieces.
Roksanda Ilincic
The fluidity and the soft drapes seen here along with the silk turbans and light colour palette, offered a rather feminine collection. The pieces showed accessible elegance and the movement of the collection was immaculate.
Giles
You are always guaranteed a fun collection with Giles Deacon. Neon knitwear, ladylike skirts that swished along the catwalk. But, let us not forget the floral/eyeball prints that took over corset and maxi dresses. They were curve-enhancing and fit perfectly, and the eyeball print gave that Giles factor.
Paul Smith
Nobody does androgyny like Paul Smith. I love a lot of things, but I have fallen head over heels for this collection. The ankle grazing trousers reached to the perfect length. The rich colour palette worked so well with the prints. Buttoned up shirts were seen as were city shorts and waistcoats that showed a glimpse of midriff. Ladylike shifts, double-belted are guaranteed head turners.
Meadham Kirchhoff
A beautiful nightmare, appeared to be the feel of this collection from the design duo. The painted on eyelashes and ruby lips introduced a dollish mood. Despite this, there were dark undertones. There was a punk neon theme going on too, what with the pink legwarmers, lace and rock tees.
Jaeger London
Sporty simplicity was the mood at Jaeger. Oversized hoods on parkas, geometry and bumbags all showed off the sportswear feel, to great effect. A predominantly monochrome palette intertwined with royal blue and pretty in pink floral prints.
Marios Schwab
Lingerie-like dresses and leather with stunning lace edges. Pops of neon and a bit of rock chic. Tattooed leggings and fitted shifts. All topped off with edgy wigs. I like, I like a lot.
