Topshop Unique
Ok so there's a lot of white at this show, but it's a shade that's been used across the board with S/S emerging as a blank canvas for creativity in texture, shape and styling. This has to be one of my favourite Unique collections, the wearability depicted in the personalised 'barely-there' jewellery, is (dare I say it) Unique for their collections! It feels like they're aiming the pieces at their older, more sophisticated (better paid) consumer and it's working. The long loose shirt dress will definitely be making it's way into my S/S13 wardrobe. That's me talking as an older, more sophisticated (though sadly not better paid) consumer. Cheers Sir Green!
Jonathan Saunders
This was described by Saunders as his 'hardest' collection. Certainly, the more relaxed shapes are an escape from his more fitted silhouettes and the dark slash of lipstick lends a grittier edge. The fish scale patterns were particularly beautiful especially as they faded across the body across t-shirts and trousers. The tiny triangle bras under loose blazers or (again) the bomber show a playfulness and nod to the 90's that's been showing itself across all the shows. I like how paired down this collection is, relaxed and sophisticated with a hint of grunge.
Christopher Kane
Kane has secured his place as the King of LFW once again. His show is always the hottest ticket in town with every collection pushing the boundaries and heralding London as the epicenter of all things cool! He's having a bit of a Blue Peter moment with his new collection - think masking tape, gaffer tape and vintage telephone wire shoe straps! It's creation exposed and I love it. Again the over-sized bomber makes an appearance and the hologram catwalk sets the tone for a high shine S/S.
