London Fashion Week is known for attention-grabbing, high-drama, statement-making collections. This season was no exception and it was clear the designers showing in London were intent on getting noticed. Some explored new territories, concepts, and themes while others drew upon old concepts, reformulating them and pushing their creative thresholds. Amanda Wakeley and Luella were moody, dark, and a bit sinister, while others like Eley Kishimoto, Erdem and House of Holland were whimsical and fun.
Some updated the old, like Richard Nicoll, who gave classic shapes and cuts a sexy makeover, while Basso & Brooke and Giles created outrageous collections that set a new standard for pushing it to the max. Dark palettes ruled supreme, but some like Mulberry and Aquascutum werent afraid to keep the bold color trend going, upping the drama and quirkiness factors along the way.
