It was a big one this weekend, as London Fashion Week swung into its second and third day; with models showcasing an array of new season styles from huge designers including Sibling, Holly Fulton, House of Holland, Vivienne Westwood and McQueen…
Here is a look at our favourite shows from Sunday, with some backstage beauty highlights squeezed in there too:
MARY KATRANZOU
At Mary Katranzou the theme was rodeo with romantic references from films including Romeo and Juliet and Natural Born Killers. The collection was a colourful one; with boy meets girl vibe from her star, heart and horse motifs dotted around in the collection. Bright and arresting print layered with lace and fur gave a very pretty and accomplished collection.
VIVIENNE WESTWOOD
Vivienne Westwood is known for using the catwalk as a platform for her political messages, but this season there wasn’t a placard in sight.. With strong tailored jackets, slouchy-rouched dresses and the designer’s signature print, there was and air of sophistication with her added show-stopping glitzy gowns…
BELSTAFF
Belstaff’s AW16 collection celebrates fur fur and more fur. Mixing polar and moto inspirations, the clothing is influenced by wintry landscapes combining a patchwork of wools to bring richness to the collection.
MULBERRY
Outerwear from pea coats with coloured trim to embellished leather biker jackets and lace bombers were standouts at the Mulberry show. The models had slicked back roots for messy off-the-face, behind shoulder hair.
MCQUEEN
McQueen made a highly-anticipated return to London, the hometown of the late Lee McQueen himself, with Sarah Burton at the heart of the collection. The dream-like show was like walking through a Dali painting; dreamy, with symbols of butterflies, moths, perfume bottles and more, intricately embroidered against sheer material.
