LFW AW14/15 Day 1 & 2 - Street Style

Fashion Weeks always flies by alarmingly fast.....we are already into day two after an amazing kick off from the likes of J. JS Lee to Bora Asku ( I will get round to a round up, I promise).

I thought I would wet your fabulously, fashionable taste buds with a taster of some great street style we've seen from London Fashion Week's AW14/15 over the past two day.

Love

Sometimes, someone somewhere creates something so beautifully amazing that it not only takes your breath away, but it consumes all your thoughts with the sense of wonder and exitement....

For me this usually happens at fashion week or graduate shows when a designer pulls a out collecion that no one expected, and it happened to me when knitwear graduate, Yuki Hagino's releaved her BA Final collection back in May!

It may have been because origami always leaves me in awe, or just because I love the simplicity of minimalism, but Yuki Hagino's collection is definitely something special and has recently been named as 'one to watch', and for good reason.

Originally starting off as an architecture student in Japan, she ended her education in fashion, drawn to CSM for the degree of freedom it offered. It had much limited restrictions in comparison to architecture, allowing her to be able to find herself as both a designer and an artist.

She begun with white cotton, column dresses, sculpting them with intricately folded stiff vinyl material and embellished with knit. Through this she has achieved excitement and intrigue between the contrast of the soft innocence of cotton with the harsh rigidity of plastic. Love it! Not only has this insipired me, but it also come with the realisation that I need to buckle down and get some work done.

Enjoy

Printastic Monochrome - Mary Katrantzou AW13

Photos courtsey of Elle

Mary Katrantzou is one of my favourite designers and she stunned everyone last season, going in a completely different direction from the bright, bold, colourful prints and flattering silhouettes that she is most known for.

She took on the challenge of shape and for with a more reserved palette, usuing darker hues of purples and blues, infused with greys and white. All of the dresses framed beautiful black and white photography brought to life (for the first time) with drapes of fabric and big overlapping folds, using a printing, bonding, embossing, laminates and more to manipulate the fabrics into that of the scenery they are trying to portray.

Mary Katrantzou managed to create beautifully though provoking pieces, showing off as the digital print master and amazing colourist that she is, in a way she hadn't yet attempted before. She pushes herself both in skill and imagination...and it worked so brilliantly!

With London Fashion Week fast approaching I'm excited to see what she comes out with next!

P.S Did I mention that I managed to secure a placement, working backstage at London Fashion Week and hopefully going to secure an intership. The interview is next week...wish me luck!
