LONDON FASHION WEEK SPRING 2011- Meadham Kirchhoff

Pretty meets Gothic under London label  Meadham Kirchhoff ! Its distinctive signature to the designers' Edward Meadham and Benjamin Kirchhoff: A romantic touch predominantly dark and deconstructed streetwear.

I already told you that in my opinion London Fashion Week is one of the most creative and bold... 

LONDON FASHION WEEK SPRING 2011- Christopher Kane

It's a fact: Whilst New York Fashion Week gave us lots of nude and neutrals, London is bold and colorful.Red orange, electric Blue, sunrise yellow, hot pink.. I think this must be 'cause the dreary weather of London, isn't it?

 Also Christopher Kane’s Spring 2011 presented a fun collection of neon "fantasy" colors! A party to our eyes, indeed! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I really loved the mixed of simple silhouettes with futuristic colors and bold prints.Soft lace, jersey prints and argyle tops were presented with signature ‘sexy as hell’ Giuseppe Zanotti heels with the same neon colour palette. This was my favorite collection from London Fashion Week so far!

Stylish sisters Sienna and Savannah Miller launched their Twenty8Twelve Spring 2011 collection   at London Fashion Week. The collection was called 'Jericho' after Joni Mitchell's album Don Juan's Reckless Daughter. 

As front rowers Poppy Delevigne, Meredith Melling Burke and Jude Law gave to the show a it-glitter! 

Cute denim dresses with lace petticoats; printed stretch-jersey numbers; sheepskin vests; and beach-ready sexy frocks are key pieces in this Spring 2011 collection.

As accessories there are oversized gold hoop earrings and  glittery-bow-embellished flat sandals, courtesy of Gina, and the stacks of colorful enamel bracelets from Katie Hillier. This collection is guaranteed to sell and sell!  

LONDON FASHION WEEK SPRING 2011- Mark Fast

Mark Fast for his Spring 2011 collection developed the main ideas behind his capsule collection Spring/Summer 2010 that the designer, known as the knitwear genius, created for Topshop and it's all about his second line of stretchy underwear and body dresses named "Faster": edgy/ sexy vibes while being thoroughly versatile. Mark Fast's work is always consistent and true to his signature look.

The Central Saint Martins grad, known for his body-conscious cobwebby knit frocks, said once "My work is about a lifestyle. It's not fast-food fashion. It's not about trends, it's about classic, it's about the body, it's about beauty." Of course we agree with Fast.

I loved the body-con knitted dresses with intricate detailing and embellishment in black, orange, red, yellow, pink and blue which gave a sexy, rebellious feel as the winner of Topshop's New Generation award use to.  


 I really love Mark Fast who courageously followed through on his convictions, and this in the fashion world is to be applauded. For example, against all odds he used plus-size models in his last runways when lots of people thinks it is not appropriate.

Mark Fast's work isn't obvious, he like made incendiary clothes for hot girls. Still, Fast's attraction is more in his technique—and the way he thinks of his knitting as a close cousin of hosiery rather than sweater dressing. In fact it is nothing about sweetness in his creations.
 

LONDON FASHION WEEK SPRING 2011: Vivienne Westwood Red Label

Vivienne Westwood's red Label is always one of the most refreshing collections in London Fashion Week, and this Spring 2011 collection was no exception. 

Vivienne Westwood has the great merit to bring tailoring basics to life in a very fresh and young way, and I loved that! If it is true that teenagers have begun to join tailoring basics to their wandrobe, like pants and jackets, and they descontruct them with bold patterns and colorful pieces, this is due to Vivienne Westwood.  

Another thing I love in Westwood's designs is that they are very wearable, her garments are for real women who have boobs and bums, and she understand this very well.  The designer makes clothes for women of all ages, shapes and sizes.  You  can always find something in your size and that is flattering to your figure.  This collection was very commercial in that sense.

In this Spring 2011 collection, Vivienne Westwood did very commercial pieces without betraying her signature punk feel and traces of native peoples ethnic elements.

The collection had everything from tailored pants, jackets, shorts, shirts, jumpsuits and dresses... and we can say that the Westwood's Red Label went back to tailored basics with just the right  twist, and I predicted that in next Spring/Summer these pieces will be "copy past" by all street fashion labels, including the fast fashion ones.
