'Fashion Mode' at London Fashion Week Sept 2010

Hi guys,

More pictures from LFW and also some videos (I'm getting addicted to videos now!)

Four new designers displayed their collections at the 'Fashion Mode', which is a London Fashion Week showcase in conjunction with Vauxhall Fashion Scout. The show was yesterday, Sunday 19th.

Let's go... 2 collections for the ladies and 2 for the gents. Yes! Boys get their turn at PPortobello.
Enjoy!

Florian Jayet

Jayet describes his general style as inspired by the futuristic concepts of Paco Rabanne and Thierry Mugler. (Oh yes, I can see a lot of Mugler indeed!)
The inspiration was to use the garments as armour, much like an exoskeleton.



Amazingly constructed garments...





And a quick video, of the end of the show.




Carlotta Barone

The collection was called 'wear my skin' and it's idea is to fight against the racism.



I loved this 'tattooed' skin body, used throughout the show.

And another quick video!




...And some for the boys...


Elson Figueiredo

His collection was inspired by the people who would travel with circuses and amusements shows. He describes his pieces as a mish-mash of casual workwear and traditional tailoring.






James Hillman

James Hillman based his collection on the 'Teddy boy' look. Interesting choice of fabrics mixing perceptions of masculine and feminine through using silk, leather, chiffon and jersey.






So what do you guys think of the new designers? Have you already got a favourite?

London fashion week - final

Hello,

Tuesday just gone it was pretty much the final of the LFW, for us ladies anyway...
Here are the final pictures of the 2 designers which I have enjoyed the most.

TUESDAY:

Mary Katrantzou:

Bold graphics, I really like that charming floaty dress combined with the strong print, cool tee shirts. On the last dress, the visual effect is amazing.




Meadham Kirchhoff:

A collection in neutral colours which was not boring because of the cut of the clothing, the interesting use of the pattern.
Desconstructed shirts and jackets, very inspiring for a bit of DIYing.
