With
London Fashion Week over for another season, there’s no better time than the
present to round-up of all the action from Somerset House. As always, the exclusive
designer collections were bursting with vitality, the street style looks were
fiercely bold and as for the clothes themselves? Pure wow!
The
season of hats and scarves may be upon us, but after seeing what’s hot for
SS15; our minds are firmly set to fast forward. Let’s ogle the latest designer
collections and dream of endless summer.
70’s
Revival
Matthew
Williamson and House of Holland brought 1970’s flower power to the runway
respectively. Jam packed with psychedelic bright pops, top to toe florals and
printed shift dresses, the Henry Holland collection was complemented by runway models
sporting thick, long tresses and glowing suntans.
Meanwhile,
Matthew Williamson brought his own blossoming blooms in the form of chic,
billowing gowns and hibiscus motif blazers. The collections showstopper was one
glitter drenched dress complete with a feather hem and embroidered flowers.
Outstanding.
Whimsical
Wow
Richard Nicoll proved
that lilac hues and the holographic trend are here to stay with his illustrious
collection which juxtaposed feminine pastels with simplistic sports luxe. Just
when we thought it was impossible to look good at the gym…
And
delicate, whimsical fashion wasn’t just reserved for Nicoll’s draped knits,
fluid lines and calm colour palettes. London brand Sibling decided to take the
whimsical movement in a new direction with their fairground inspired line of
frou-frou skirts, loud prints and oversized bows. The colourways were bold and
riotous confirming that experimentation and clashing prints will be all the
rage come SS15.
Classic Silhouettes
If
you’ve been reacting to all this talk of explosive colour and clashing prints
with horror then fear not reader, there’s good news in store. The Marios Schwab
show ensured that classic hues and silhouettes aren’t going anywhere. Stone
white, strips of black and stainless steel grey ruled the roost with echoes of
teal also in the mix.
Asymmetrical
skirts, high waisted belts and shirts with exposed shoulders gave the
conservative look a playful update. Meanwhile the Margaret Howell collection
also honoured neutral colours in the form of grey, navy and taupe pleated
skirts and pullovers.
Will
you be embracing brights come spring or will you stick to neutral shades with
the odd statement garnish? Whether it’s seventies style shift dresses or the
holographic sports luxe trend which take your fancy, do let us know. Tweet us @Nica_Handbags or leave us a comment.
