London Fashion Week Recap


I will be rolling out a number of featurettes this week on some of my favorite brands from fashion week. There will be at least one catwalk recap and a number of features on some of the brands who were on display in the exhibition. These will be rolled out over the course of the week as I get my hands on more of the press materials (photos, etc)... though in the meantime I am happy to share what I have.

First of all, it is worth noting that the British Fashion Council has done a wonderful job with fashion week this year with their move to Somerset House and 180 Strand. Somerset house is a wonderful place for the main catwalk area and provides some nice historical tones to a trendy to-do full of hipsters and artist types. Meanwhile, 180 Strand has been made into a venue perhaps more fitted for a warehouse-style rave (complete with a number of djs and on-site breakfast!) than for an industry event, yet the BFC have done great things with the space and it definitely has a younger, trendier feel. Different strokes for different folks I suppose.

Keep your eyes fixed on the blog as features over the course of the week will include: Puma X Mihara 10th anniversary set, SUPER forthcoming S/S collection, Madras, House of Holland, Linda Farrow (and her work with Matthew Williamson, Jeremy Scott, HOH and others), live coverage from the KOKON TO ZAI catwalk show, and much more!
