Some Very best highlights from London Fashion Week AW13 continued...
***My Intel Ultrabook film*** Intel asked me if I wanted to use their newest Ultrabook for a day over fashion week, and after seeing how sleek and chic it was, I couldn't not! I like to call it the Lablet - half laptop half tablet. The screen slides up to reveal a keyboard. Perfect for on-the-go snapping and uploading. Suzi and I zipped round town, with our Ultrabooks in tow, lapping up all the shows and sights. Enjoy the vid, it was lots of fun to shoot it!
***Charlie May's new collection*** You only have to see Charlie May in her own designs to know that this designer is serious about her aesthetic. Minimalist, androgynous, power dressing. For AW13, Charlie has sighted volcanic landscapes as inspiration, and with it comes floaty silk shirting, sheer panels and structure in greys, reds and whites. And rather amazing bags, in a new collaboration with Danielle Foster. A great achievement me thinks!
***Marques' Almeida's move on*** They impressed me so much last season, and now this one too. Marta Marques and Paulo Almeida, the masters at frayed, 90s denim, are back with a collection including pony hair pieces and their first foray into evening wear with dresses that stay true to their 'look'. Their 'girl' is cool, very cool.
***J JS Lee's chic minimalism*** Such clean lines and dusty, sherbet colours attracted me over to Jackie Lee's section in the exhibition during London Fashion Week. It only takes one collection to catapult you into the mainstream, and I think this might be it for this St Martin's graduate. The boxy, minimalist shapes make J JS Lee current, and her play on textures, especially with the shoes, below, mark her as a fun, relevant designer. Tres impressed!
***Jayne Pierson's epic hair accessories*** OK, so they may not be to everyone's taste, but my God do I love them! You kind of forget it's hair (not sure if it's real hair or not?), and they just become gorgeous accoutrement. The neck tie is chic, the rings are just plain amazing.
Still more London Fashion Week stuff to come, unless you're bored??
