London wraps up fashion week amid Brexit uncertainty

September 20, 2016 By publisher

London wrapped up its seasonal fashion week on Tuesday after five days of luxury and highstreet labels unveiling colorful and eclectic collections amid Brexit uncertainty. Holding its leg of the spring/summer 2017 shows after New York, London staged its first fashion week since Britain shocked the world by voting in June to leave the European Union. As well as runway trends, the uncertainty of how Britain's exit from the EU (Brexit) will affect the industry was also a hot topic among fashionistas.

Ruffles, stripes and buying now: five themes from London

September 20, 2016 By publisher

Ruffles can be romantic and feminine, or over-the-top and girly, but there was no avoiding them at the London catwalk shows this week, from new labels to established big brands. There were centuries-old shapes as designers drew inspiration from history, stripes were big — and of course, the talk was all about selling straight off the catwalk. Cascading down a voluminous blue lace gown or lining a jacket over a tiered skirt, ruffles were everywhere in Turkish designer Bora Aksu's romantic, demi-couture clothes.

Supermodel Kate Moss launches own agency

September 20, 2016 By creative

Kate Moss is launching her own talent agency after leaving the one that recruited her aged 14 earlier this year, the Business of Fashion website reported as London Fashion Week draws to a close on Tuesday. “I want to focus more on managing people's careers than just a modelling agency,” said Moss, whose agency has a website, Twitter and Instagram presence despite her own well-known avoidance of social media. London-born Moss, the daughter of a barmaid and a travel agent, was recruited in a chance encounter at New York airport and is one of the few supermodels from the 1990s who still has a lucrative career.

Burberry inspires nostalgia, Christopher Kane elevates Crocs

September 20, 2016 By admin

Floral prints and Victorian ruffles defined Burberry's first “see-now-buy-now” collection at London Fashion Week on Monday, while Christopher Kane opted to spin a high-fashion twist on the utilitarian Crocs slip-on boating shoes. British label Burberry debuted both menswear and womenswear collections on the runway and made them immediately available to purchase through physical and online stores, eschewing the traditional six-month wait from runway to retail. The androgynous collections drew inspiration from Virginia Woolf's 1928 novel “Orlando,” a tale of a gender-shifting aristocratic poet, and from British interior designer Nancy Lancaster's English country house designs.

September 17, 2016 By publisher

Under low lights and with a pumping soundtrack, bright young things wearing black leather and slouchy ripped denim put some swagger into London Fashion Week, courtesy of Donatella Versace.

Bonded mesh dresses and crop tops brought a sporty edge to the collection, which also featured cropped, zip-up bomber jackets, military-style knits and washed out ripped denim with metal and crystals sparkling underneath.

September 16, 2016 By admin
