JUST SHOOT ME!

We've been following these tips that we found on Refinery 29. Anyone had any luck?

 

THE NAMES TO KEEP ON YOUR RADAR!

As proud supporters of New Gen - the scheme which nurtures new design talent, giving them the funds and space to show at London Fashion Week - we’re always super excited to see what the future of fashion is going to look like, and this year was no exception! Four unbelievably talented emerging designers took up their needles and thread and came up trumps with collections that we quite simply can’t wait to get our hands on!

HOLLY FULTON

Geometric, brightly coloured, printed, gorgeous, madness from Holly Fulton.  A fabulous selection of sixties-inspired shift dresses, slim-line trousers and theatrical embellishments, rolled up in a palette of sunshine yellow, burnt orange, electric blue and definite black.  Think intricate printing and art deco motifs. This was easy daywear punctuated with a bit of sparkle; the perfect transition from morning to night. Having just relocated to London from Scotland, we’re glad she’s here to stay.

 

CRAIG LAWRENCE

You can’t help but oogle at Craig Lawrence’s sensational knitwear. Cast in gold and spun from what we assume is magic, his creations have set fashion tongues wagging! Bodycon and full-length, laddered and see-through, and crowned with a plume of fabric voluminous in the extreme, Craig is set to go far.

 
 

LOUISE GREY

Enter the funfair world of Louise Grey and witness every rainbow colour clashing in myriad colours, patchworked together and littered with eccentric touches - a royal blue fur boot here, a crimped and flung-forward ponytail there.  She’s fast earning herself a reputation among the fashion pack as a new design hero and we’re absolutely loving her way with tones and shades.  

 

SYKES

Chic and then some, Sykes has a look that’s so effortless it’s almost criminal.  Beautifully cut from the finest materials, cute shorts peep out from beneath perfectly tailored jackets, sheer dresses envelope bodies and slouchy cardigans give everything a decidedly thrown-together look.  It’s all about the detail and a pin-tuck, a ruche, a fold or a pleat gives each piece a one-off feel.  Perfect for any time we have to leave the house - we’ll take the lot!

TIME TO TIDY UP

This is what happens during London Fashion Week. You don't know what to wear, try everything on and end up with your entire wardrobe thrown on your bed!

LULU'S LONDON FASHION WEEK

Richard Nicoll has the whole of London leaping out of bed on a Sunday morning - the place is rammed. The collection, music, models are all beautiful - everything comes together in perfect harmony. It's classic Richard at his best and the roof lifts off when he takes his bow at the end...well done babes x

In Richard and Erickson Beamon's hands the humble bulldog clip becomes an object of beauty...

 

...and how hot is Linda Sterling's new print?

 

After the show we have a nice random chat in the rain with this friendly bunch of Pearly Kings...

 

...then it's off to Louise Goldin's...which I love as ever. The amount of work and detailing is immense..she's such a talent...

I'm sooo feeling the girls casual walk and messy hair... 

...especially loving this military coat...

Backstage I spot hot to trot twinkle toes. Yum.

And Louise. Congratulations honey! x

Next up it's Meadham Kirchhoff. And boy do they blow my brain with their playful fantasy dressing up box slammer of a show.

I absolutely LOVE it. As a statement, an aesthetic, it's happiness in 3D.

 

 

Louise Gray has got to have been one of their inspirations...no?

Glittery tiaras by Nasir...

Spot on styling by Jason Farrer.

Backstage Maria Luisa and me debate which hand painted jacket we love the most. Mine is this 'LOVE HATES YOU' lilac baby.

This show's left me on a total high. Thanks Ben and Ed! x
