Ann Demeulemeester - Spring Summer 2011

Ann demeulemeester this season is incredible as always.

The shoes, the textures the shapes, the monohomatic pallette, the simple but striking hair and make up styling. I love it.

The half skirts drape beautifuly like ann only knows how and the assymetric buckle and bib features are to die for.

Also loving the soundtrack for this collection, a strong and powerful song for an equally strong collection.

Gareth Pugh S/S 2011 Film with Ruth Hogben

So this is the new installment from the amazing and very talented GARETH PUGH.

Again teaming with Ruth Hogben for this S/S 2011 film I must say its not quite what I was hoping for. I LOVE Gareth Pugh to death and I have loved previous films made with these two collaborating as you can see how the clothes move and it has been crutial for the realisation of the collection, but as for this one; as beautiful as the collection is, I was left feeling hungry for more detail in the clothing, wanting a closer look at the incredible shoes and longing to see the ever amazing styling by Katie Shillinford. I think the video is really interesting but I just need more!

Richard Nicoll Spring/Summer 2011

Richard Nicoll is fast becoming one of my favourite designers showing in London. His typicaly bold and strong but beautiful and soft has won me over again, using pvc and leather to create structured pieces whilst combining with crisp pleats, sheer layers and completley chic, wearable pieces this collection really has it all.

As for the styling, the wet scraped back hair and the subtle mandarin eyes compliments the collection perfectly and the unusual ear accessories completes the style statement. The monochrome and the light nudes and pink colour selection is ultimatley on top trend for the season, all in all a stunning collection.

John Rocha Spring/Summer 2011

This collection from John Rocha is so spot on for me. This is exactly what I want to be wearing, firstly the shoes are perfection; Leather strap sandals and heels in nude and black. The colour palette of black, white and nude is beautiful and with the different textures of fabrics it really makes each outfit stand out individualy, I love that there is always a mix of menswear and womenswear with John; it shows a lot of diversity to the collection and I think that the styling for both is amazing.

Definatley one of my favs for LFW.

Craig Lawrence Presetation

Welcomed in with a film by Ben Toms, styled by Katie Shillingford, this set the scene for Craig Lawrence’s Presentation in the Portico Rooms at Somerset House.

Spicy Bloody Mary’s and miniature cakes were provided, whilst the models serenely walked around the room posing for any shots. I felt this was a really nice personal way to get to see the clothes as sometimes on the catwalk it’s there and then it’s gone in a flash and you don’t really get a chance to take it all in.

Craig’s stunning knitwear pieces are a joy to look at; shredded and threaded detail that is consistent with all pieces and a glorious subdued colour palette.

His inspiration is drawn from his childhood in Ipswich, where decadence and decay meet amongst Britain's seaside towns.

Nicolas Kirkwood for Rodarte. Love

Haven't yet put up my favs from NYFW but Rodarte was incredible. The wood and sky prints are so beautiful, just look at these shoes, in love again.
