Five Trends from London Fashion Week AW17
There were lots of looks (and ergo lots of trends) to come from London Fashion Week AW17 – a good sign that designers are following their own lead, rather than others’ – but these are the five that we’ll start adopting now.
London Fashion Week: Christopher Kane AW17
Tate Britain was taken over for the Christopher Kane AW17 collection; the David Hockney exhibition in one part of the gallery, a tough yet feminine take on Autumn/Winter in the other.
London Fashion Week: Versus Versace AW17
The Versus Versace AW17 collection had sex appeal, yes, but with an injection of punk attitude, hints of athleisure and grungy finishes.
London Fashion Week: Aspinal of London AW17
The Aspinal of London AW17 presentation gave us 'A Night at the Theatre', with Claridge's decked out in red velvet chairs, bags resting in gilded stalls and new styles sitting in the spotlight.
London Fashion Week: Phoebe English AW17
The Phoebe English AW17 collection was all about women - in particular the strength and resilience of women - as well as unity over division.
London Fashion Week: TOGA AW17
The TOGA AW17 collection took classic pieces and turned them on their heads, adding drama to usually-conservative styles, and decorative elements to every day street wear.
London Fashion Week: Malone Souliers AW17
Handcrafted shoes in experimental shapes and finishes, the Malone Souliers AW17 collection was perfect for the fashion set.
London Fashion Week: Le Kilt AW17
A contrast of colours, fabrics, patterns and aesthetics was the theme of the Le Kilt AW17 collection - 'A Perfect Contract' - said to reflect the designer's personality.
London Fashion Week: Ashley Williams AW17
The Ashley Williams AW17 show was the kind of thing you'd imagine if you went to a house party in Peckham, surrounded by 20-something artists honing their craft.
London Fashion Week: Eudon Choi AW17
The inspiration for Eudon Choi AW17 was Austrian/Czech architect Adolf Loos (1870-1933), whose views on and preference for minimalism made him a pioneer of the modernist movement.
