I feel like I'm behind with the Fashion Week posts after moving in and getting settled in the new place at uni and whatnot, but never the less, here's a quick round up of some of my favourite shows from London.
I really like the futuristic vibe from the Burberry Prorsum show, reworking their classic mac with metallic fabric in two-tone shades of electric blue and turquoise. The metallic lavender shirt teeters on the edge of looking too much like tin foil, but the dusty pink and grey in the skirt balance things out.
There's a great use of colour and pattern from Matthew Williamson, lots of sky blue, navy and turquoise with bright pops of fuchsia dotted throughout. The patterns on shorts and cropped trousers create a bleeding out effect, the colours slowly 'dripping' off into white towards the hem of the garment.
Topshop Unique kept things very clean and simple using monochrome and linear patterns to add detail to dresses of sheer fabric. The garments also have an oversized, slouchy look to them, which is something I've noticed popping up in a number of FW shows.

Vivienne Westwood Red Label was as wacky as ever, (painting models faces green and blue) but there were some great dresses with ruched hems and gorgeous patterns, along with expertly tailored jackets, shirts and cropped trousers. Also, an honourable mention to the amazing dangling skeleton necklace (add to: list of things I want, but can't have!)
Another favourite was House Of Holland with a slightly darker, grunge-ier collection than usual. Oversized checks in navy and contrasting black and yellow were featured on dresses and shirts, while the amazing rainbow floral trousers injected some colour. There was also a few pieces with a murkier, splatter print which added to the 90's grunge throwback vibe. (side note: I'm a big fan of the H! by Henry Holland collection at Debenhams)
Finally, Acne hit the oversized-trend nail on the head with this collection. There was an oversized denim coat with exposed belts tightened to give the garment some shape, maxi shirts slashed at the knee and a jacket with large roll-up cuffs and featuring a thick, black and white stripe pattern that reminds me of Beetlejuice. I also really love the shoes in this collection and the use of buckles on the garments to make the oversized pieces more fitted.
