So London Fashion week is drawing to an end and after hours of traipsing around the city comparing Manolo's with other fashionistas and comparing goody bags it is time to review the shows. Burberry received dramatic press coverage due to the rather over the top rain situation, Cara let the models down the catwalk, leaving Eddie Redmayne on the bench!
Topshop Unique channelled Military along side McQ. The six year old brand of McQ hit the catwalk for the first time ever under the watchful eye of Sarah Burton who shook out the key elements of the McQueen aesthetic—the romance, the dark glamour, the mind-blowing tailoring—and, rather than dumbing them down, expressed them in an accessible way. The collection's group of military-inspired menswear, a Persian lamb collar on a trench gave the coat a sense of specificity and richness, while the battered knit of an army crewneck provided the sweater with that McQueen note.
Mary Katrantzou didnt under achieve with a superb collection in a variety of exceptional colours. keeping to her roots using faboulous fabric designs and some beautiful structured pieces as well as some more floaty edwardian feeling pieces.
