Today in Fashion Week:September 14th

Break out the english breakfast because Fashion Week has moved itself to London! London Fashion Week, in my opinion, is vastly underrated, most likely because there are no big names to provide surefire hits. But this also encourages a carefree spirit, in which the designers unleash plenty of creativity and whimsy.

Charles Anastase

Charles Anastase's show is a prime example of the London spirit. This season he showed trends like lace and sheer fabric in a way that's still fresh and avoids cliche.

Avsh Alom Gu is either making a statement or terribly confused. He showed floor length gowns in both simple colors and shockingly graphic prints.

Graeme Black

Graeme Black showed impressive ruffles and tiers with little nods to bandstand.

PPQ

PPQ attracted an audience of hipster it-girls, including Cory Kennedy and Peaches Geldolf. The show had its moments, but overall was nothing too interesting.

Although the theme was widely ignored by attendees at the gala, we all got to see how designers translated the pages of comic books in to streetwear.
