London Fashion Week has come and gone but the impacts of the
catwalks remain. London fashion thrives
off personality driven, and eccentric looks, and the designers kept this in
mind when preparing for their shows. It was Christopher Kane who used prints
inspired from brain scans to represent how a brand is a prolific idea factory. Ashish
used avant-garde texture combinations, even emulating a zebra at one point.
Emilio de la Morena and Giles portrayed women as a warrior symbol with gold
foliage armor and army style shouldering.

The designers used London as an output for all things unconventional
and inspired. Fur was huge in New York
City and it followed suit overseas. While still trimming pieces elegantly,
Mulberry kicked it up a few unique notches and featured straightened sheepskin.
Another popular theme was the use of geometry in the collections. John Rocha,
Roksanda Ilincic, House of Holland, Sass and Bide, JW Anderson, and many others
used this as a method to interpret the female silhouette.

Colours were noticeably different than the usual Fall/Winter
palette, including many lighter tones and lots of use with metallic. Tasteful
black still remained a prominent component to the collections with many
featuring lace embellishments. All in all LFW reminded us what fashion is here
for, channeling true personality and artfully embracing our individuality. To
Milan we go!
