HELP ...

 

This tee from the girls at Boutique sums up how we're feeling right now! London Fashion Week is over,we've not done our washing, and have nothing left to wear ... 

THROUGH THE RABBIT HOLE

We’ve always been fans of Alice In Wonderland and with Tim Burton's film adaptation about to come out, we jumped at the chance to wander through the rabbit hole and party with Alice herself. That would be Alice Temperley, who was throwing the mad hatters bash with Selfridges to celebrate the launch of her new Alice range.

After being greeted by two white rabbits who told us off for being late, we stooped through a hole in the wall and found ourselves in the midst of a mad hatters’ tea party! There were painted soldiers giving out punch in teacups, magicians doing card tricks and London’s party girls dancing away to New Young Pony Club. Who was wearing what? We couldn't tell you, the cocktails were far too good!

PATTERNS AND PANELS AT PETER PILOTTO

There’s literally nothing that we didn’t love about Peter Pilotto's collection for AW10. The design supremos trotted out beautiful dress after beautiful dress while we sat there open-mouthed, lusting after it all.

Peter Pilotto and his partner, Christopher De Vos have a way with prints and this season’s mix of brooding grey, molten orange and sophisticated green had been inspired by 70s interiors and mother nature.

 

Models stalked the catwalk in swathes of fabric printed in gently undulating tones that overlaid a traditional, paisley pattern from Liberty’s archives. Symmetry was scarce - metallic pockets adorned one hip of a knee-length skirt while cropped cardigans buttoned together woody brown wool with vibrant orange leather.

Shirts buttoned up to the neck were paired with slim-line, high-waist leather trousers and prim jackets with an embellished hip-slung belt pouch. Mountainscape hemlines switched between flirty short and just-past-the-knee in a perfect play on this season’s shifting proportions.

We loved the heady mix of panelling and pattern and have one eye on the multi-strap shoes that looked so unbelievably cool. Like everyone else at their show, we want something Peter Pilotto and we want it now!
