LFW AW/11-12: DAY 1




I've always loved and enjoyed the Fashion Week and all the fun, new and exciting things that come along with it. The London AW/11 Shows kicked-off with a bang on Friday with so much hype and buzz - all the London fashionista's were up and about at Somerset House, all dolled-up, looking fab and ready for some serious fashion! It was one of the busiest fashion week days I've had in my time. None the less, It was a fantastic day with so many brilliant showings from some amazing designers - I particularly loved Jena Theo, Corrie Nielson, Jean-Pierre Braganza, Anamika Wilmont and Bora Aksu. However, I was a bit disappointed later-in the day when I couldn't into the Krystof Strozyna and Ashley Isham Shows apparently because they were "out-of-capacity" - Oh well - a lesson well learnt for another day to wear more comfortable heels.......NOT and but at-least try to beat the human traffic there :-p

CORRIE NIELSEN


Winner of last years Fashion Fringe Corrie Nielsen showcased a beautiful and inspired collection that left me want to see more, simply one of my favourites on Day1 of the AW/11-12 Shows at London Fashion Week. It was a mind-blowing show in which everything was spot-on, Not only were the clothes amazing but the whole production itself; the from the music and styling to each step carefully walked by the stunning models. I absolutely loved and enjoyed every moment of it.

JEAN PIERRE BRAGANZA

Impeccable construction and tailoring!
AMINAKA WILMONT

Aminaka Wilmont was another brilliant show which was perfectly executed from start to finish - yes it was a bit darker than the previous collection but the prints and construction of the garments themselves was exquisite and a delightful sight to see. I relished in the beauty of delicacy mixed in with a sutle toughness if not roughness that came in by the genius pairing with the leathers and knits. Together, there was a coherent vibe that channelled a somewhat forbidden and enraged creature; kind of an "alien meets predator" in the jungle aura and those 'yellow eyes' tied-in very well with the feel of the collection - The girl was dangerous and super confident with a bit of attitude.
