Day two of London Fashion Week was an interesting feast to our eyes with many contrasting themes and looks all rolled into one day. New York may be uniform and slick, but London sure is quirky…
Jasper Conran
First up was Jasper Conran, who inspired by the artistic sculptures of Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth, had a dramatic feel to his bright collection.
Fuchsia, tangerine, scarlet, canary yellow and this season’s popular colour, cobalt blue, morphed into thigh-skimming, midriff-baring dresses.
Voluminous tops and ballooning capes were pared with skinny pants.
And for a truly futuristic feel, cut out panels on long evening gowns were replaced with shiny PVC and reflective mega sequins and polished cuffs to provide the perfect mirror to watch that space ship take off into the distance.
Julien Macdonald
Next it was off to Julien Macdonald, where interesting details captured our imagination.
‘The big Mac’ produced intricately detailed lace dresses, both mini and maxi.
The laced bodice on the long gown led down to a thigh-high split down the middle chiffon skirt, whilst flesh-revealing mini numbers were spun from weblike lace, which was delicately intertwined with pieces of cobalt blue fabric.
Fur hooded white bomber jackets and chunky sweater dresses were sassy and sporty, and the perfect item to get you from London to Courchevel with no need to change in between.
And if there is one celebrity we foresee sporting many of the designs from this collection, it is English poppet Geri Halliwell.
