|| London Fashion Week || My Favourites from the Week ||

With Fashion Week having been and gone, it seems the fashion world is still obsessing over the biggest fashion event of the year.

I, unfortunately, did not go, however my plan is to try and go next year. Fingers crossed. Anyway, over the past week I have been scrolling through the various pictures and videos of the past Fashion Week from numerous sources; from Fashion Week’s website, Vogue.com to Cara Delevigne and Kate Grand’s Instagram. Every picture and video I have seen has made me so jealous and I just wish more than anything to be there, admiring all the collections (anything is better than A Levels) from the sophisticated and classy to the weird and wonderful.

London Fashion Week has now ended and I thought it would be acceptable to do a post dedicated to my favourites throughout the week, and give a little insight into why I like the collections.

All the images I have used on this post are taken from Fashion Weeks website.

Vivienne Westwood Red Label Spring/Summer 2014

Vivienne Westwood has been one of my favourite designers for as long as I've been involved with fashion. There's something so fascinating about and intriguing about her work, her collections reflect her and h er chose style. For me her collections reflect more of art than fashion, they represent freedom, femininity, fashion and art. I am particularly in favour of this collection, there's something about the combination of colours, patterns and various textures that is so mesmerizing.



Tata-Naka Autumn/Winter 2014

How utterly fabulous is this collection?! I think I'm obsessed. Admittedly, I had not heard of Tata-Naka but after a bit of research I discovered that these two Georgian sisters are now one of my favourite labels. When I was scrolling through London Fashion Week's website, I  instantly saw this collection and it is safe to say that it was love at first sight. I'm not sure why I am so completely in love with it, but I am. The clothing has a similar appeal to that of my grandmother's curtains, the sort of appeal that makes you question yourself: why do I like this? What is it that is so intriguing? But there you are, still doting over this bazaar yet beautiful combination. 



Erdem Spring/Summer 2014

I think monochrome is a trend that will always be around. It will circulate the fashion world for eternity, constantly making reoccurrence's on our catwalks and in our magazines. It is just so effortlessly chic and sophisticated, and it cannot go wrong. It is faultless. Erdem's S/S collection for 2014 is the epitome of all that. With a combination of just black, just white, and the two mixed together, Erdem Moralioğlu has created a collection that not only is simplistic in colour, but is profound in the details, the fabrics and the designs. Monochrome at its finest.


Emilia Wickstead Spring/Summer 2014

And moving on from the simplistic colours, we encounter the bold colours. Emilia Wickstead has pulled out all the stops in creating a beautiful and stimulating collection. The structured cuts and shapes contrast with the bold, yet soft pastel colours creating a collection to suit everyone. There is something about Wicksteads S/S 14 collection that just has me falling head over heels. I love everything about it. The angular shaping to the clothing against the pastel colours is just beautiful. I just love it...




Whistles Autumn/Winter 2014

Lilac. The marmite of the fashion world. It has the potential to be fabulous and eye-catching, or the potential to drown all colour out of your face and make you look severely ill. (Personally I am a fan of lilac.) Whistles' A/W 14 collection is wonderful. The colours are, I must admit, some of my favourites and the combination of them just works. The clothes look comfortable and easy to wear, yet still having an effortlessly chic look to them.



So here you have it, just a couple of my favourites from London Fashion Week. Hopefully next year  you will be reading a post dedicated to when I actually went to Fashion Week. We can hope. Please let me know your favourites from Fashion Week.
