18.09.2010- Concrete jungle where dreams are made of...

So New York Fashion Week has officially concluded and the London leg is well underway. As well as Marc Jacobs' sultry take on the 1970's, here are the rest of my New York favourites:

Badgley Mischka

Adore the frou frou hairstyles and the crisp colours.

Peter Som

 Cute and colourful summer dresses with the added shirt collars giving the collection a strong sense of shape and tailoring. 

Preen

 A refreshing take on neutrals and a more structured maxi dress, thanks to the waist defining belt and graphic print. 

Reem Acra

 These two full length dresses really caught my eye as they are both effortlessly feminine, again with the emphasis on the waist. I adored the whole collection: my inner hippy died and went to heaven when I saw how everything had been styled.

Victoria Beckham

 Another very impressive collection from Mrs Beckham, with a further nod to classic shapes through these wonderfully structured dresses.

Marchesa

 You know what they say- if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Yet again Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig deliver a stunning collection of ultra feminine, red carpet ready dresses with exquisite detailing. 

Mulberry

 Hands down, my favourite of all the New York shows was the Mulberry presentation. I adored everything about Emma Hill's vision for Spring/Summer 2011, from the vibrant colours to the paper bag waists, from the Florence-esque styling of the models to the sheer cuteness and imagination of the presentation. I love how feminine and wearable the pieces from this collection are, and, as always, the accessories are divine.

What did you think of New York Fashion Week? Which collections stood out for you? And which of the London shows are you most looking forward to?

I think she looks beautiful here, and I can't wait to see the rest of the editorial.

23.09.2009- Burberry Prorsum Spring Summer 2010 RTW

Last night at the Chelsea College of Art and Design, classic British label Burberry made a triumphant return to London Fashion Week, in celebration of the event's 25th birthday. The show attracted the most high profile guest list seen at any London Fashion Week event in recent memory, with international fashion editors, Hollywood stars and politicians (who on earth invited Peter Mandelson?) descending on the capital for an evening spent in the company of Burberry's creative director Christopher Bailey and his latest stunning creations for the fashion house.

 

 

 

 

 

The front row of the show glittered as much as the shimmering silver coat Bailey sent down the runway:

 Face of Burberry's Autumn Winter 2009 advertising campaign, Emma Watson, wearing (of course), Burberry.

Victoria Beckham, wearing a beautiful dress from her own collection.

 The lovely Freida Pinto, wearing a dress from Burberry's Spring 2010 collection.

Mary Kate Olsen, looking effortlessly cool as always; I just adore the beetle brooch adorning her classic black winter coat.

One of my all time favourites, Liv Tyler, proving (if you didn't know by now) that a good boyfriend blazer is a girl's best friend and a must have piece for any wardrobe.

Anna Wintour, wearing Oscar de la Renta, complete with her trademark sunglasses and immaculately maintained hairstyle.

I can't wait to see this collection up close when it will arrive in stores next season, I have already made a pact that I will treat myself to a classic Burberry trench before I die/ when I can realistically afford it without bankrupting myself, whichever comes first!
