Tailored Eccentric @ MiuMiu
A strong collection featuring caped shoulders, graphic print shirt and tie combos, heavily embellished suade coats teamed with doctors bags and platform loafers. Creating a sharply tailored look with MiuMiu’s signtaure eccentricity. The mini sheath dresses layered over shirts, towards the end of the show had a 1960’s feel, with brown suade trouser suits given a modern update with oversized disc embellishments.

// Walk the purple carpet//
Christopher Kane, then Prada and Gucci all showed their collections to a backdrop off plush purple carpet this season - could the upcoming Oscars ceremony be swapping their red carpet in favor of plum?

Fendi’s Tapestry Bags
Aside from the plethora of furs and animal skins on just about everything in the Fendi show, these bags have a 1920’s look about them with intricate beading and embroidery in the form a slim-line briefcase.

Prada - ‘The Pleasure of Fashion’
As Miuccia quoted this collection was purely about making beautiful fashion- and beautiful it was! With head to toe 70’s style prints in purple and orange, oversized beading on the tops of coats and dresses and hems of trousers, there was a theme of co-ordination running throughout. Including bags and shoes adorned with beads, and humorous touches such as the rubber shoe coverings on brogues. Although the prints were mixed together, the looks were well put together, matching bags and shoes which Her Majesty would be proud of!

LFW AW12/13
More is Less
A new kind of minimalism is emerging amongst the designers at London Fashion Week, where more is less. Chaotic at first glance, but on closer inspection, the dense mash of textures, colours, patterns and embellishments are put together in a way that is chic through simple cuts, unfussy fastenings and elegant styling. Looks by Louise Gray, Mary Katrantzou and Meadham Kirchhoff.

Rainbow Fur!
Texture will be a huge part of how we dress in Winter 2012, with various designers mixing furs/hairs with liquid-slick fabrics and embellishment. Jeremy Scott showed a rainbow coat of hair, while Matthew Williamson and Peter Pilotto mixed it up with multiple coloured furs in one garment.
