Autumn Winter 2011 London Fashion Week

So London Fashion Week is over for another season & Milan is now underway.


I must admit that I normally love New York Fashion Week for its understated sophistication, however this season I was left a little underwhelmed. So I wondered what London would have to offer...


London always seems to encompass some of New York's easy dressing ethos, but added to this is a dash of extra creativity & a drop of the glamour associated with both Milan & Paris. That's what I love about the London shows, you can't completely pinpoint the overall look as the collections are so eclectic.


Here are some of my favourite collections from the shows. All images courtesy of style.com.


Great shaping & lace at Antonio Berardi...






Fab outerwear from Burberry Prorsum...





Gothic glamour at Julien Macdonald...




Great leather & colour at Marios Schwab...




Amazing velvet at Michael van der Ham...




Fluidity at Roksanda Ilincic...




Colour pop at Osman...



Edgy sophistication from Nicole Farhi...

Erin Fetherston AW11

Whilst catching up on the New York collections I was drawn to the fab photography of the Erin Fetherston presentation. I think the soft ethereal glow of the shots really enhances the collection & gives it an other-worldly look.


Here are a few of my favourite looks. See what you think...

Autumn Winter 2011 New York Fashion Week

I can't quite believe it's that time of year again when the international collections are showcased. Just as we're gearing up for Spring the designers are tantalising us with their latest ranges for Winter! As I'm an Autumn/Winter girl at heart I relish these collections, revelling in the rich saturated colours & layers of luxuriously tactile clothes.


Here are some of my favourite collections from New York...

The best of the rest...
