LFW: Day 3

Burberry Prorsum: AW 13

The latest collection from the British genius Christopher Bailey comes under the name 'Trench Kisses' and boy was it fantastic. Based on sixties showgirl Christine Keeler, there was a hint of her controversial life in every look.

A mix of the Burberry Heritage and Keeler's questionable lifestyle, resulted in a beautiful juxtaposition of classic Trench Coats made from Latex and Rubber. Formal pencil skirts in leopard print and sheer latex alongside cute knitwear with pretty collars was match made in heaven; Maybe something to take the edge of the kinky Keeler aura.

No matter whether this was your thing, my thing, or Burberry's thing, it's safe to say Christopher Bailey and Cara made Kitten Heels cool again.

Take a look at my favourite looks below;

NY Highlights!

So New York is over and London has already began. There was so many highlights for me, so I decided to show you my absolute favourites, which was really difficult as I loved so much!!!

J.CREW

Womenswear Designer Tom Mora, has the difficult task of creating something new each season for the established J.Crew brand. This season we see another spin on preppy sportswear, this time mixed with Moroccan inspired patterns and sharp tailoring. The mix of texture, jewels and brocade resembled something you might see on a Marrakech market stall. Once again bowled over by J.Crew's ability to add a little spark to simple boyish silhouettes.



THE ROW

For their fourth Fall Show, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen wanted a space with a little more Character, hence they decided on a Upper East Side Apartment. Each look was layered first with a cream high neck onesie. Obviously this was a little more chic than the ones we have seen on the high street! This formed a uniform approach as each model was sent down the catwalk. Lots of black and muted tones of ivory and dark green were used on oversized tailoring and knitwear took place along side satin evening gowns. The easiness of the collection was a resemblance of past seasons collections, but with a little more glamour. Gorgeous!



VICTORIA BECKHAM

Victoria Beckham chose the New York Library as her location for her fifth anniversary collection. Coats were the first thing to hit the catwalk and oh boy were they good. Checks finished with electric blue pony skin were bang on trend and oh so chic. Knitwear made it's first appearance in the form of turtleneck sweaters in yellow and blue. Black tailoring finished of the statement VB look to perfection, while the mix of colour and texture opened a new avenue for the evolving Beckham brand.



MARC BY MARC JACOBS

70s Chic was the theme echoing down the sophisticated Marc By Marc Jacobs catwalk this Fall. Eclecticlly patterned Jumpsuits and brightly coloured tailoring was simple, but chic. MxM was as fun as always and the hair and make-up added even more to the magical effect we are so used to seeing.



3.1 PHILLIP LIM

Bikers and their Girlfriends would have loved Lim's collection this season. There was Leather, in every type of garment; Dresses, Boots, Sweatshirts and even Vests. All finished of with some incredible Outwear in the form of patchwork sheepskin coats with contrasting lapels and leather trims. The Styling of layers of texture and fabrics somehow made a rough subject chic. Perfection.

Trend Watch: CheckMate!

When the SS13 Collections were presented to us back in September  we saw the revival of the check. There was tartan, Monochrome, oversizing and more variations of the classic trend. This time we saw a cleaner and more sophisticated way of wearing the pattern Burberry made so famous so long ago. I'm an admirer of this trend and have quite a few staple check pieces myself, so I decided to put together a little moodboard of my favourite pieces which I dream of getting my hands on this season....money permitting of course!

BACK


Ann-Sofie Back grew up just outside of Stockholm and studied at Beckman's College of Design, before taking the big step we all did...she moved to London! There she began her studies on the highly regarded MA Fashion Design course at Central St Martins.

Back started her first Label Ann-Sofie Back in 2001 and after 4 years launched the diffusion line BACK. This was to appeal to a younger customer with a more accessible price point. The line is more wearable and less conceptual, but still evokes the qualities portrayed in her mainline collection.

Ann-Sofie now shows in London, after 4 seasons at Paris Fashion Week. Back is also Joint Creative Director at Cheap Monday and has designed Collections for High Street giant Topshop.

Ann-Sofie Back, has become one of my favourite designers in recent years, becoming obsessed with watching her shows come LFW. Now showing at Stockholm Fashion Week in addition, I love her diffusion line BACK, just as much.

BACK offered a sporty feel with oversized jumpers and baggy trousers. Metallic Foils and Leather was mixed with knitted football Scarves and layering's of Checks. A Clash of concepts and somewhat jumbled, it always seems to make sense in the end. Doing what she does best Back showed us it isn't only her mainline which pushes the boundaries.
