The show kicked off on Friday, Sept. 14 with Antoni & Alison
(Pictured Above), who’s latest offering consisted of pretty silk
dresses. Other designers who showed were Fyodor Holan, Corrie Nielson
and Sass & Bide, who has popular models Cara Delevigne and Jourdan
Dunn walk for them.
On day 2 (Sept. 15), Daks opened first, with serene clothing, which was
followed by Sister by Sibling, who’s carnival-inspired clothes
contrasted well. Holly Fulton’s collection (Pictured Above) was
inspired by the Mexican beaches of the Sixties, while Jasper Conran’s
was inspired by the Midwest US.
On day 3 (Sept. 16) big names like Tom Ford and Vivienne Westwood
showed. Westwood’s models wore vibrant facepaint when they went down
the catwalk, and Tom Ford’s collection seemed to combine perversity with
chastity. But perhaps the most exciting show was for Philip Treacy’s
comeback show (Pictured Above). The designer hadn’t shown in London for
nearly 12 years. He had Lady Gaga open the show, while his other
models wore fantastical hats with show costumes originally worn by
Michael Jackson.
Day 4 (Sept. 17) saw the showing of quintessential British brand
Burberry (Pictured Above), who showed off metallic trench coats and
capes. They had a star line-up attend their afternoon show, with One
Direction member Harry Styles and Dita Von Teese attending. JW Anderson
showed a super feminine collection while Richard Nicoll delivered a
collection inspired by the sea.
On the final day (Sept. 18) of London fashion week, Mulberry showed
(Pictured Above). Their front row was filled with stars including Lana
Del Rey, Rebecca Hall, and Alexa Chung. Roksanda Illincic, a favorite of
Kate Middleton, showed tons of pretty dresses that the Duchess of
Cambridge will certainly be wearing. Christopher Bailey closed the
show, and he gave out the 2012 Fashion Fringe award to Haizhen Wang, a
Central Saint Martins graduate.
