During London Fashion Week , Burberry (showing in London for the first time in more than ten years) had a perfectly-produced collection. Creative director Christopher Bailey’s talent shone. This was a lovely show including the iconic trench coat in the most gorgeous garden colours as well as the odd flash of silver to acknowledge British fashion’s very own silver jubilee. “Twisted Classics” (shown above) featured coats, dresses and skirts–all cut to no longer than mid-thigh and ruched, pleated and knotted around the body to girlish but never sickly-sweet effect.
The British Fashion Council, with more than half the shows, were gathered in the grand Somerset House on the Strand.
Elsewhere, attendees were treated to collections at the Guildhall (for House of Holland), a deconsecrated Polish church (for Antonio Berardi), the Royal Opera House (for Nicole Farhi) and Whitehall (for Roksanda Ilincic).
The international press attended: Anna Wintour, Glenda Bailey and Carine Roitfeld all made an appearance.
Marios Schwab’s collection was one of the most accomplished of the week. Schwab, a conceptually–led designer, is newly installed at the New York label Halston and will show his first offering for that label next season.
Louise Goldin patchworked pale and interesting fabrics. Goldin is also now responsible for a capsule collection for Ballantyne.
Christopher Kane is a designer who can change his look each season and his work doesn’t look like anyone else’s. His collection was light, pretty and highly flirtatious in flavour. Kane has a consultancy with Versus. Donatella Versace, perching front row, must have been pleased with her choice.
Luella Bartley’s collection was the quintessentially London girl in spirit.
