London Fashion Week: Day 5

Day five was another big day full of massive creative talent! If only i was old enough to one get to London, two get F-Row tickets and three see it all erupt for myself! One day that will happen! Here is my favourite three from the busy day:

3. Anya Hindmarch

Embracing a new and experimentative way to show her delightful selection of handbags, the designer broke out of her routine of putting on small but fun presentations into a 'Pomp and Pleasure' show. With excitement building up for weeks on end, everyday that passed added more pressure for the Spring/Summer 2013 collection to be out of this world, and i am happy to say, she didn't disappoint! With a majestic grandfather clock counting down the seconds until show time, no one was sure what to expect...would there be model's or not? No! In their place were impressive two story illustrated card board carousels, that were moving and rotating to mimic a fairground. The designer said: ""I wanted to do something with anamatronics and not models. It feels more playful. And this was all about a sense of fun.I think it's important to have humour as a designer and accessories really allow for that. Besides, poking fun is a really British sentiment." She definitely has a whole lot of creativity in her brain!

 

 

2. Simone Rocha

 

The designer opened with a white oval flower shaped cut out ankle grazing length dress that was accessorised with white brogues. Following this was white suits, shirts and skirts, beige knit dresses, jumpers and skirts, mustard coloured leather collared tops, and skirts. Then, out came the black! In all textures, shapes and sizes. The strong colour was seen on jackets, skirts, tops, shoes, hair accessorises trousers and dresses.

 

 

1. Mulberry

 

An English Country rose garden was literally portrayed in this years Spring/Summer 2013 collection, with tumbled roses at the opening where the models appeared, this was definitely achieved! The show opened with a a brown leather flower buttoned swing coat with a mustard leather pencil skirt. This outfit was then accessorised with brown leather gold flower buttoned heeled boots, and a spectacular brown leather handbag. This was then followed by metallic brown flowered printed jackets placed over a variety of brown or mustard coloured variety of clothing. Later into the show, the colours white, orange, green, black and dark blue all made an appearance in some pattern or in pure colour block. My favourite part had to be when a model strutted her stuff accompanied by a beautifully fluffy black poodle dressed in a blue and silver flower print waist coat! Classic!
