London Fashion week: Day 1

So Friday the 14th of September kicked off London Fashion week, and as normal, the streets were filled with stylish people from bloggers, photographers, designers, make-up artists, models, agents, hair stylists and everything in between! Day 1 brought a lot of very well known designers and of course: beautiful clothes! Here were my favourite 3:

1. Julien Macdonald

Flowing, shimmering and body hugging dresses were on the cards for the designers Spring/Summer 2013 collection. He said: “I always start with asking myself ‘who is the woman?’ In my mind this time she was Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct – a strong woman who lives in a Hollywood mansion." The enthusiastic character then added: "Everything is made by hand, here in this building. It’s great because it’s Savile Row which is traditionally associated with menswear but I’m bringing some glamour to it,”If you've got a body to pull of these exquisite dress, then go ahead and show it off!

2. Zoe Jordan

This amazingly talented woman brought bohemian chic to the runway this ready-to-wear season. Being an exotic traveller herself and having a widen understand of geographical knowledge, she made sure that all of her experience inspired her impeccably well put together collection. By putting a polished look to the bohemian twist, the designer created some amazing outfits that stood a mile off the catwalk. She added: "I had been travelling to Africa and that's how it started. It was an eclectic mix, starting with fabric and print combinations." Her models were styled to look chilled, cool and relaxed as they appeared with wet tousled hair and black caps.

 

3. Caroline Charles

 

Another show that caught my eye was Caronline Charles' collection and you would probably know why if you are a regular reader to my blog, I LOVE FLORAL! It was seen everywhere on the runway during her Spring/Summer 2013 line up, on clothing items from shorts, to tie tops, from bags, to playsuits and trousers to dresses. It then went on the stripes and big bold coloured clothes, which my heart still continued to love! Models were accessorised with a black hat, a variety of coloured sunglasses, along with a collection of shoes with a very wide palette of rainbow colours and a bag. Its fair to say, she really did grab my attention on this one!
