LFW: Issa F/W 10.11

After last seasons antics, I was so glad to be back at Issa again this season, it's always such a fun show to be at with perfect hair and bright make up. After running in from a snowy London, Issa had the best backstage food with cups of tea and chocolate cornflake cakes. The clothes this season were alot more formal but still sparkled with the fun sense of dressing that Issa has become famous for. In particular this season there were some great shoes and bags.





















All pictures shot by me.

LFW: Holly Fulton

After the crazy atmosphere of Fashion East, Holly Fulton was alot more relaxed affair. Taking place on the 3rd floor of Somerset House at night, the air was filled with hair dryers and chatting models. I love the classic up do and red lips, and the Louboutin shoes are divine!



I love this shot from the back with the brilliant aqua sheen of the dress against that flash of red soul:

The show goes on...

I can't seem too work up too much enthusiasm about the New York shows right now, I'm not sure, but there seems to be a long shadow cast over proceedings. There has still been some beautiful shows, and I found myself with some unexpected show choices. Alexander Wang was once again such a disappointment, but there's still been some wonderful shows with such perfect layering and a beautiful dark colour palette.

Cushnie Et Ochs
I'm linking to this brand because it is such a new brand, it's a label created by two women and their Fall 10 show had such a perfect mood about it, the mixing of fabrics and the ponyskin boots are wonderful.


Doo Ri
Does this show ever let down? Such a laid back look but with polished fabrics and perfect draping.


Richard Chai Love
I really love the way this show is styled, there's a lot going on but it doesn't seem to overpower the models. The odd sequin fabric or fur thrown in really breaks it up. That strong red lip is divine too, especially for such a grungey mood in the clothes.

Pringle Pre-Fall 2010




It's hard to find fully practical fall collections, the only brand that consistently produces fantastic coats is Burberry, but they do tend to all look the same. The clothes never look, well warm enough. But really, when is high fashion ever practical? Well it turns out it can be, with Pringle's Pre-Fall collection. The Scottish brand has produced some beautiful ad campaigns (who could forget Tilda Swinton's appearance in the mens campaign this season?) the last few seasons, and I do always take a glance at their collections. I think this collection deserves alot more attention though:

I love that really high neck coat mixed with a chunky sweater, the neutral tones and the simple bun - because no hair style manages to withstand the elements of the British weather.

I've been seeing alot of trouser style leggings (I refuse to call them treggings!) filtering into the British high street. But this almost long-john style looks surprisingly fresh compared to the tired look of most leggings.


Okay, I know I said practical, and this doesn't look very warm but I adore the laser cut collar. The longer length of the jacket, making it look more like a coat - it's a cozy and luxurious look.
