LFW 2014-15: The Best Bits

This fashion week was great, whilst taking street style photographs for the wonderful stylist Hope Von Joel, I also assisted her by going to some shows and covering them on the blog and social media. Here is a little update of my favourite shows by day.

Day One: Romantic, dainty girls at Bora Aksu 

Day Two: Reminiscing English seaside holidays at Markus Lupfer 

Day Three: Beauuutiful embroidery at Temperley London...

Day Three: Fun cowgirls at Ryan Lo

Day Four: Glamour and shine at Huishang Zhan

Day Five (Last but definitely not least): Louise Alsop, Helen Lawrence and Ashley Williams put on a great show at Fashion East...

KTZ was full of AMAZING monochrome and gold embellishments...

Finally, my favourite London designers Meadham Kirchhoff closed LFW perfectly with a collection full of metallic seventies disco mixed with Chanel style tweed 

Maarten van der Horst Hits Topshop

This beautiful, feminine, yet playful collection was brought to my attention recently. Maarten van der horst showed his A/W12 collection at LFW in February through Lulu Kennedy's Fashion East, joining the successful ranks of the likes of Johnathan Saunders and Henry Holland. He light-heartedly named the collection the “boardroom, but not boring”, and the “I love you, but fuck you collection”. Adding to his recent success, Horst was also named as one of Selfridges’ Bright Young Things in January along with fellow womenswear designers Sorcha O’Raghallaigh, Adam Andrascik, Alice Lee and MASC.

At the end of next week, Horst will be collaborating with Topshop to produce some tropical, hawaiian  printed designs, extremely reminiscent of his S/S12 show. I can't wait until this hits the stores, to see the eccentric, exotic and beautifully tailored designs come to life! Definitely one to watch!
