After Julien Macdonald and Jasper Conran, it was off to Aquascutum for a very different feel…
Aquascutum
If this entire collection suited one celebrity perfectly then it would be Angelina Jolie. Filled with the type of chic numbers that she is often seen jetting through airports in, on her way to save the world, there was luxurious cashmere, leather and wool in elegant and clean lines, perhaps more suited to New York than a soggy English countryside.
The silhouettes were lean and long with slim trousers, belted coats and seductive trenches. White tailored shirts were paired with equally tailored slim ankle length skirts and glamorous belted camel coats with embellished pockets stole the show, and the fabric was also used for long skirt and pant suits.
Even the gold brocade gowns with their long sleeves and ruched bodices managed to appear effortlessly chic and minimal.
Vivienne Westwood
The closest thing that we will ever get to the type of ‘Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds’ experience that the Beatles once sung about is attending a Vivienne Westwood Red Label show.
True to form, the show was a vibrant mix of contrasting pieces that even worn individually would be perfectly attention grabbing.
Think brightly coloured tights mixed with clashing equally vibrant tartan skirts, graphic t-shirt sending messages of concern about climate change and a shaggy coat more suited to a character on Sesame Street all combines as one trippy outfit.
Break down the items, pair them down with simple denim and you are sure to still be the coolest kid on the block.
