Aquascutum has always been a quietly luxurious house and this season was no exception. A re-vamping of their signature pieces and menswear looks in silks, laminated tweed and chiffons. The pieces see...
Tour de force duo Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vos sparkled this season in a surf wear inspired collection rendered in creative, mesmerizing prints. I loved the billowing cotton skirts, trendy su...
While the look and feel might have been up to the minute modern, the tailoring and cutting of each piece was all retro loveliness. Here Giles rendered silhouttes from the 40s, 50s and 70s in flashy s...
It was all silk scarf heaven at Clements Ribeiro this season. Inspiration came from the duos large collection of scarves, as well as prints inspired by their home botanicals which were worked into si...
Having been inspired by tribal tattoos, Koma presented a solid, modern collection for spring 2012. The look was very body conscious, something that has been repeated a lot these past spring/summer se...
It was all big, big hair and sharp tailoring at Vivienne Westwoods Red Label this season. With only a few signature tartan appearances, the collection seemed to show a demure restraint. This design r...
It was light, it was pretty and very, very floral! In particular I liked the last 6 pieces of this very proper, almost English spring collection from Erdem. Althought the prints seemed to have a Japa...
Always walking the fine line of bad taste, Holland strikes again. This season saw him focusing on colors playing off of each other as well as the idea of "haute couture" fishnet vests and mis...
Seductively sweet freshman debut from Emilia Wickstead. Loved the colors, the cute Parisian prints, the knife pleats and the right on tread penchant for billowy tops, small waisted dresses and breezy...
Dont let the simple silhouette fool you. This duo knows how to create an intricate pattern of colors, print and trompe loeil. My only concern is that beyond this the collection seemed a little vacant...
Yet another designer to visit the roaring 20s and put his stamp on it, Jacobs produced a tight, scintillating plastic-cum-dropped waist utopia rendered in 1960s fabrics and a whole lot of young tongu...
It seems to me that Herrera vacillates between prim lady like glamor to modern, slim almost pared down looks for her collections. Sometimes its all about the shilhoutte and at other times more about ...
After taking a leave of absence last season, Reem Acra is back and in full force. Of course there were her gorgeous, signature long, embellished party gowns but, to the joy of many, her day wear coll...
Soft, retro and embellished. Just how I like it! And lets not forget the bows. I was in lady like heaven with this collection. Albeit it had a few moments of distraction like the irredescent 1980s fr...
Pure bliss from Jenny Packham this season and its making me want to buy it all for my honeymoon! The light, sorbet colors and beading was sumptuous without being over the top while the silhouettes re...
A very beautiful, soft collection from Stuart which is right in line with all her previous collections. A fresh twist on 40s lounge wear and dropped waists along with little palm prints kept the coll...
What could possibly interrupt fashion week?!? Oh...getting ENGAGED could!!! Yup, thats right, Mr. H popped the question and of course I said yes! Now, back to work ;)
At times mesmerizing and at others confusing. There were aspects of this collection that were incredibly beautiful and original, like the to-die-for lace stockings and tromp loeuil Peter Pan collars ...
Although the collection was visually gorgeous in terms of its colors, fabrics, and styles, it was poorly executed and embellished. If these ultra skinny models cant carry a botanical printed pant how...
A sensual, soft and wildly flattering feminine collection from the Tagliapietra brothers for SS12. My only doubt is over their color pallet choices as these colors seem far better suited to a Fall Wi...
This collection by Raul Melgoza was well executed within the theme of a strong, beautiful 1940s feminine silhouette. The collection gave a feel of a Hollywood starlet from said period going on a sunn...
Prettily tailored, sharp and deceptively simple collection from Carly Cushnie and Michelle Ochs. The only pieces that could have used better attention to draping and form were the ones executed in pi...
I am in love! As in, if I owned a store this entire collection would be in it as I couldnt possible just pick a few pieces when a collection is this exciting! Highly romantic and vintage inspired the...
Oh to be a bohemian surfer girl! Well, at least thats what Chais girls will be doing next summer...me, probably not! The girls might have been floating along but this collection was strong with its l...
Its official. I ask too much of Vena Cava...Im always expecting this grandiose collection full of sparkle and wit but instead always somehow end up feeling deflated and let down. Its time to refocus ...

Autumn is just around the corner for many and some mornings seems to have already arrived to London. Of course summer is just pure bliss, especially in fashion terms, but there is something equally d...
This is the kind of shit that pisses me the f-off! Hailey Steinfeld is FOURTEEN for crying out loud?!? Why cant the fashion industry draw the line for international, seasonal campaigns? Is it really ...
And Im off to Florence and Lake Como...back soon! XXX
In an almost twisted child of the 80s kind of way, I enjoyed this collection. Yes, I know, I dont usually have something nice to say about Lagerfeld, but any collection is bound to be better that las...
