London Fashion Week 2011 S/S



Recently it's been quite luxurious, Saturday I didn't attend LFW due to having to earn actual money. Sunday I casually rolled up at 1pm ish as we didn't really have any shows until late. If you're press you can get a Mac make over done, which I did with my two colleagues for free! You get a goodie bag of make up after you've had your face did, it's great.


 Starting the show with a classic simple shift dress in a dark midnight blue, the show progressed with draped light silks gliding down the catwalk.Side seams were nipped and tucked to create clever darts giving the dress movement and a chic look. Inwards collars were seen on jackets and a dressed draped beautifully in a kimono style.
Jackets were tailored in a sharp way that the shapes created in the elbows pointed to precision. Soon bondage style straps emerged around the necks of dresses creating a more edgy look, mixed with light crèmes and greys, the outfits were teamed with giant long clutch bags and wedge heels.
A parachute white and cream dress appeared with a back that flowed behind the model taking over the floor, with a split at the front it added a bit of sex appeal. The glamorous Grecian style dresses had backs which finished just by the shoulder plated and then from either side draped creating a keyhole, revealing a bit of skin which was a stunning effect.Transforming into evening wear, diamantes, sequins and sparkles were backed onto dark blues and gold’s giving a slight aged feel seen with off mustard shift dresses and deep aqua blues. A divine sumptuous show full of long silhouettes, perfect for the coming summer.

Looking at our schedule there were free cocktails at twelve at the Yes Master stand which definitely swayed us to visit, who would say no to free alcohol? Not us! Anyway turns out they did the most gorgeous wearable lingerie line. Filled with satins, ostrich feathers and diamontes the collection was seductive and ultra classy.

The black label selection turns to decadent and dark with a rebellious side. Inspired by a more sinister side of sexuality taking a more hard esged approach to inner and outwear, the lingerie is aimed towards those who are more 'bold and commanding' and they would put it. Leather straps, quilting and crystals are prominant, with an editorial edge, this lingerie is bound cause a stir.











 The Dutch driven designer creates comfortable and extremely wearable lingerie, not overly designed the subtle elegance of her underwear shows an original element. Straps are extended above the cup bringing a sexy feel to a simple design. 


Shown above is her 'florence' collection, made up of vintage boudoir print, stripes and dotted cris crosses, the collection is naughty and nice.
