Margaret Howell / LFW Day 3
Simplicity, androgynous lines and minimalism are the epitome of the Margaret Howell style, and she didn’t disappoint with her Autumn Winter 14/15 collection. She showed flirty midi silk skirts combined with white shirts or thick jumpers and black thick socks. Even from the first outfit we understand the feeling of the collection; relaxed, warm, comfortable and made […]

Christopher Raeburn AW14
Luxe sportswear in the Arctic is the message Christopher Raeburn was trying to get across and he definitely succeeded in that respect.

[…]
Central saint martins MA Fashion / LFW Day 1
The Central Saint Martins MA show is the best way to spot and get to know the designers of the future. In my case it was even more interesting to see this show and the final result of the students’ collections as my Journalism course is closely connected to the Design course (both under MA […]

LC:M Day 2 – Crombie presentation and Liberty x YMC x Men’s Health Party
At Crombie’s AW14 presentation the style is kept as traditional as possible but with a modern twist. They’ve kept some classic pieces, the Great Coat for instance which is what the women made for the military at the First and Second World War (well except it wasn’t cashmere, right?) to keep the soldiers warm. Other archive heritage […]
LC:M Day 1 (part 2) & Mulberry party
Last for the day was the Richard Nicoll show, which was my favourite.

The designer’s signature monochrome palette was evident as the show begun with an array of […]
