London Fashion Week Favorites!(and a quick definition of fashion week, for those who don’t know)

17 Sep

Week two of the month-long fashion frenzy around the globe is wrapping up and I have some favorites to share.

I was asked to explain fashion week by quite a few people, so here it goes…….Fashion “month” occurs twice a year and is a showcase of designers Spring/Summer collections and Fall/Winter collections. These collections are shown in advance giving buyers time to fill orders and stock up just in time for the season.  For example, right now it’s Fall and the designers are showing their upcoming Spring/Summer collection, and during Spring, designers showcase their fall/winter collections.  Notice I said fashion MONTH earlier- that is because fashion week takes place over four consecutive weeks in four different countries, totaling a month of FUN! Is there an order? YES fashion week starts in New york, then jumps across the pond to London, followed by Milan and ending in Paris! There you have it fashion week/month summed up.

There are also other smaller scale fashion weeks across the globe, but the four countries listed are the main players in the fashion game!

Let’s get to my London fashion week faves!

LFW Burberry F/W 2013

19 Feb

London Fashion week is in full swing and I must say my favorite collection thus far is Burberry. Christopher Bailey presented his most romantic collection yet….. big on hearts and leopard print, these pieced were as girly as it gets.  Bailey made use of eyelet and studs on tops, skirts and trenches as well as translucent rubber that actually worked while keeping the makeup nude, so the focus was on the fun prints. The palette consisted mostly of camel, crimson, black and white. Great collection.

London Fashion Week Hit With Burberry Showers

21 Feb

London fashion week is in full swing and definitely peeked Monday with the blockbuster show presented by Burberry Prorsom .  Christopher Bailey surpassed my expectations with the traditional english theme. There were plenty of riding  jackets, as well as wool and tweed in muted and earthy colors. There was no shortage of feminine detail. Studded gloves, belts and bows were everywhere:)   There were also quite a few different (but totally cute)takes on the trench coat Burberry is famous for.  It was the most entertaining show thus far complete with clear confetti “rain” and a finale of umbrella toting models on the catwalk. I loved this show!!!
