Today in Fashion Week:September 17

Hello Friends! London Fashion Week may be winding down, but we still have plenty to talk about today!

Richard Nicoll

Richard Nicoll is one of my favorites in London, so I was super stoked to see what he came up with. He did color blocking and jewel tones, and a wee bit of draping. The clothes are nice, but I'm not really drawn to anything so far. I do love the headbands, however.

Armand Basi is my favorite show in London so far. It was concise and his vision for the season was clearly defined. He worked with the omnipresent sheer fabric and embraced the drop crotch pant full on. It kept getting better as I looked through.

House of Holland

Oh.










Let's just say it was horrible. I don't have the patience.

Nathan Jenden

I'd like to think of this as "quirky sophisticated." It's like a little girl playing dress up with her mom and dad's work clothes and coming out fabulous!

Well, that's it for today, but come back tomorrow for Daniell Scutt, Doro Oluwu, and Vivenne Westwood Red Label!

Today in Fashion Week:September 16th

Hello childrens! If everything goes smoothly, this post will be on time today! Fingers crossed. Also, today we are officially halfway through London Fashion Week! Time flies when fashion week is only five days.

Adidas by Stella McCartney

What do you get when you mix a world class designer with a ubiquitous line of athletic apparel? You would hope something fun, inexpensive, and fabulous, but this season that's not the case. If I saw these pieces next to regular Adidas clothes I probably wouldn't be able to tell them apart.

Aquascutum

Aquascutum began gauzy and light, and gradually transitioned into darker and heavier, with little flashes of Prada last season. I can see them going far if they play their cards right.

Eley Kishimoto

Eley Kishimoto is always girly, quirky, edgy and wonderful. This season was no exception, and the colors popped like a crayola box.

Christopher Kane

If I were at Christopher Kane's show, I probably would have written something like "interesting...different..." in my notes. He's got skill, no question about it, but his attempts to be edgy resulted in costume-like fur trim and the kind of cheetah print you'd find on pajamas at Target.

Louise Goldin

Lousie Golden did her usual intricate folds and added sheer rolled-sleeves under almost everything.

Giles

Giles Deacon went a little bit futuristic this time around, with weird virtual reality helmets and pacmen on dresses. Two things I hope to unsee:the quilted silver fabric (it looks like something Project Runway contestants would be forced to use in order to be "innovative.") the camouflage (unacceptable under any circumstances.)

Alright, that about does it for today, but come back tomorrow for Richard Nicoll, House of Holland, and more!
