London Fashion Week- Day 3


Sunday 17th
Topshop Unique











The nineties seem to be a huge trend right now, it feels so odd to see it as a trend when i grew up then, i guess it must feel the same to my mum when 80's fashion is popular again.

The colour palette was a bit odd, a mixture so dark red and black, with the pale blue and pink pastel tones. There was also a huge range of texture, fur, to felt and even pvc and leather materials.

Lots of oversized jackets appeared to be the main focus, shrouding the garments underneath.


Mary Katranzou







Wow. I love the prints involved tin this collection. A mixture of cherry blossoms and city spaces create a oriental theme. The overlapping shapes and folds also reminded me or origami.

The digital prints worked well both on the thick base materials and the chiffon style silks over-laying. 

Overall the collection while the materials looked quite stiff, it was quite sensual and the prints were stunning.


Matthew Williamson






Matthew Williamson here does what he does best, injects colour and print into fashion and livens up the catwalk. Wether it is summer or winter he does not fail to bring light and warmth.

More mustard yellow mixed with warm blues and the dip dye and striped prints we know to expect from the designer. The blue hues kept it cool and prevented the yellows form looking too summery.

"It was really about using light and energy to bring something else to monochrome and grey and black," 
"I was inspired by the Northern lights and the toxic colours like those acid greens, that shaft of metallic colour."
