A little peek at what went on<\/h2>\n

We love fashion week! And this year’s Autumn Winter offering did not disappoint. Here’s a speedy round up of a few of our faves.<\/p>\n

The Queen<\/h3>\n

First and foremost, can we please mention the highlight of the entire week; the actual Queen herself was front row at Richard Quinn\u2019s show, soaking up the LFW vibes and clearly enjoying her time among fashion\u2019s own royalty. There to present Mr Quinn with the Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design, Her Majesty looked quite at home next to Vogue’s editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour, watching the models parade down the runway in royalty-inspired headscarves tied at the chin.<\/p>\n

\"London

Bailey’s rainbow swansong<\/h3>\n

Cara Delevingne graced the catwalk for Christopher Bailey\u2019s final collection for Burberry, which featured rainbows scattered across it and culminating in a joyful rainbow striped fur cape with signature lining. The collection was on sale 90 minutes after it left the catwalk!<\/p>\n

\"London

Black’s back… it never left.<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s true, black never goes out of fashion, and true to form, there was lots of black on display across many shows. Christopher Kane\u2019s lacy sheer number was a highlight.<\/p>\n

\"London

Shine your face up<\/h3>\n

Sequins and shimmer are still glittering across the runway, and Preen by Thornton Bregazzi even amped it up one notch further with the models sporting radiant, shimmering faces.<\/p>\n

\"London

It’s all in the detail<\/h3>\n

You\u2019ve got to love a bit of detail, and we saw cute embellishments throughout the week. Temperley went for floaty skirts teamed with pretty embellished jackets which are just sweet!<\/p>\n

\"London

Big on brocade<\/h3>\n

Brocade was big. Erdem and Mary Katranzou featured some brilliant brocade, not at all like your granny\u2019s curtains! Erdem\u2019s collection was inspired by Fred Astaire\u2019s sister, Adele.<\/p>\n

\"London

Colour pops<\/h3>\n

Strong, simple colours created a much needed playful pop to the cold and bleak February. JW Anderson mixed it up, showing his men\u2019s and women\u2019s collections at the same time, on one catwalk.<\/p>\n

\"London

Orange. And lots of it<\/h3>\n

Orange seems to be emerging as a standout colour for AW18, and rising start Molly Goddard injected even more colour into the week with an orange tulle creation in her trademark voluminous shape.<\/p>\n

\"London

The future’s silver<\/h3>\n

And if we\u2019re talking eye catching pieces, the venue itself for MM6 Maison Margiela certainly created a talking point. Held in a London pub, the venue took on a sort-of 80s view of futuristic, as everything \u2013 from the walls to the beer taps \u2013 was covered in silver foil. As were the clothes. With Creative Director John Galliano, we saw updated versions of classics, with a silvery twist.<\/p>\n

\"London

Fierce femininity<\/h3>\n

And finally\u2026 channelling protective demolition attire, Gareth Pugh brought angles and sharp lines to his collection, exaggerating the female silhouette with a celebration of strong, powerful women.<\/p>\n

\"London

And there you have it, just a little snapshot of the week. Can’t wait to see how it influences our high streets!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
