Let It Snow, Let It Snow,
Let It Snow… At Burberry

Not only did Burberry live-stream their Fall 2011 collection online across the globe; London was given an even better view. Thanks to Vitamin Water and the British Fashion Council who sponsored a spot on Piccadilly Circus, the show was live-streamed for everyone walking by to watch! With a collection full of spectacular coats in an assortment of colours and fabrics, the Burberry show came to an epic finale… falling snow! The coats, the clothes, the snow… one of the most beautiful fashion spectacles I have ever seen! And it gets even better! For the next week you can buy direct from the runway at Burberry.com and have the items delivered to your door within 7 weeks! Burberry just leaves me speechless…

Don’t Tell Anyone….
Tom Ford Showed At London Fashion Week

Tom Ford’s Fall 2011 collection was presented at London Fashion Week and was again a top secret affair. The collection was treated as a top secret event, with guests believed to have signed a nondisclosure agreement before viewing the collection. No sneaky iPhone pics or bloggers at this show! Of the reason behind this, Ford said: “I don’t want to be reviewed, I’m not an artist with an opening; this is not a film. I’m just trying to make pretty clothes. And beautiful clothes make beautiful women, but sometimes they don’t make fashion news”…

Jil Sander At The Oscars

While everyone has been talking about the costumes for Black Swan, and all the controversy surrounding who designed what; another fashion house has collaborated with an Oscar Nominated designer. Raf Simons for Jil Sander was commissioned by costume designer Antonella Cannarozzi to create the looks for Tilda Swinton’s character, Emma Recchi in the film I Am Love. Antonella Cannarozzi is Oscar Nominated for the film…

Happy London Fashion Week Everyone! xx

London Fashion Week

Favourite Pieces…

London Fashion Week – Fall 2011

London Fashion Week is nearly coming to a close and I have been so sad that I was unable to make it! To get my Fashion Week Fix I have been watching the live streaming at all hours of the morning; checking style.com feverishly; and dreaming ahead to a Fall season full of eye-popping colour; accessorising with tights and hats; and staying warm in those divine coats.  

From established Fashion Week Must-See shows – such as Mulberry, which attracted a celebrity front row of Kirsten Dunst, Clémence Poésy, Gemma Arterton, and Nicholas Hoult – to the up-and-coming designers at Fashion East; I get so excited about seeing them all!   

Some Of My Favourite Pieces…

As you can see from the looks below I am going through an orange and yellow stage! These colours are so fresh, optimistic and vibrant for Autumn / Winter.

The orange Burberry trench leaves me speechless! It is one of the most gorgeous things I have ever seen! I love the cut, striking buttons and seam detailing. Burberry also offered countless other stunning coat options for Fall. I also adore the off-white, bow coat worn by Abby Lee Kershaw below.

The looks from Mulberry were also high on my lust-list. The use of quilting in dresses; knee-high socks; and gorgeous colour hues – were too-die-for! Inspired by Ronald Dahl’s Fantastic Mr. Fox; Emma Hill, Creative Director of Mulberry, described the collection’s muse as: “She’s very English. She’s got a dilapidated, stately home. She’s got her long party dress on and she throws on a duffel coat.” The brands signature IT bags – the Bayswater, Alexa and Tillie – were also updated for Fall. The pink Alexa (above) needs to get into my wardrobe immediately!  

I also had a soft spot for Holly Fulton, Temperley London & Erdem…

What are your dream pieces for Fall? xx
