Amy Winehouse could take to the runway at this autumn’s London Fashion week, if top designer Julian MacDonald gets his way.
Each year, MacDonald ensures his collection dazzles by getting “the woman of the moment” to wear the top gown in his collection.

It’s time to take a look at London Fashion Week. As usual, a lot of the clothes are very artsy in a fashion-school-project way. The clothes aren’t entirely practical, but I think these collections are cute:Christopher KaneSince he debuted a few seasons ago, Kane’s show has possibly been each of London season’s most anticipated catwalk [...]
Christopher Kane, Erdem and Vivienne Westwood are my top favorite fall 2008 collections for their distinct and confident message.
Christopher Kane's fall 2008 collection is focused more on innovative textures and material combinations. There are several party dresses with layers of organdy and plastic sequins. The same form of decoration is seen on sheer pants, one pair teamed with a stud-embellished sweater, and also on a black cashmere knitted tabard. Novelties were also those collarless jackets with a 3D texture created by some sort of ruched appliqué.

The Central Saint Martins MA class of 2008 presented their graduate collections on 15 February at London Fashion Week. CSM alumnis, industry professionals and buyers were gathered in the audience to scoop out fresh ideas and the next big name in fashion. The MA show included mostly wearable clothes in a subdued color palette (beige, iris-blue, black and white), a serious twist from previous years.
David Steinhorst is the next big fashion hope as he was granted with the Harrods Design Award. His collection was about draping, folding and metallic accents.

Toned down ... London Fashion Week has reflected the lean economic times with designers choosing colours and designs with more staying power and several US buyers pulling out.

The focus was more on who was in the audience when London's premier fashion event began today because designers said US recession fears had made Russia and Asia the markets to target.

Yet another Fashion Week has come and gone. Yesterday marked the end of London Fashion Week. Not as glamorous as New York Fashion Week, not as couture-ific as Paris, London Fashion Week is its own special animal. From new and advant garde (Gareth Pugh), to bouncy and fun (Luella), to simple and chic (Aquascutum) the style of London runs the gamut. A couple of overarching themes did emerge this year: African-inspired prints and lots of color, both in solids and color blocks. Check out the highlights of London Fashion Week:Enjoy this post?

Walking around the accessories section of the London Fashion Week show over the last few days, a noticeable trend of delicate jewelery caught our attention. With long chains, floating butterflies, intricately wrought wood and metal, beautiful combinations of materials and ethereal detailing, each piece seemed to have a romantic story of its own, as though they were born from fairytales. Known for her wonderful combinations of words and imagery, this season of British designer Amy Anderson’s Comfort Station line explores the concept of poison. Anderson embraces an ornate Victorian style with darkly beautiful lockets, chains and laser-cut wood. (Read the full post about ‘Three Jewelry Designers from London Fashion Week’…)

Really!! Where's all the glitz, after parties, celebrities in the front row, and most importantly where are the designs that will make people come calling to London? Most of the designs I saw seemed more old and tired than new and regal.I was trying to find something to write about the "ugly" sister of shows. But oh heck, why bother waste space? Maybe when it's all done i'll do a round up, because I havent been impressed with what i've seen so far.More later....
Matthew Williamson is known as "the king of boho", so it was entirely appropriate the rock-maestro, Prince, lent his unique support to the court of the young designer when he staged his comeback show at London Fashion Week yesterday. (Wednesday)
