New year, new season, new collection. Alas, London Fashion Week hit the capital last Friday to showcase the trend for Autumn/Winter 2009/10. The main event that took place at Natural History Museum, South Kensington (not in the museum silly, but at their 'lawn') as well as at other venues around London where some catwalk shows will be held.
So who to look for during the 5-days event? The Londonpaper listed out some of hot designers to make their mark:
- Vivienne Westwood - The Grand Dame will took on Anglomania to the greatest height. Expect some avant garde collezioni (flamboyant tailoring, tartans and mohicans)
- Twenty8Twelve - It is meant to be the start attraction, coz it's owned by Sienna Miller and her sis, Savannah. Famous for sophisticatec garment and with vintage yet contemporary feel.
- Luella Bartley - famous for it's trademark tongue-in-cheek preppiness, with a nice sideline of floral prints.
- Giles Deacon - proven to be bankable due to his line snapped by New Look and Harvey Nicks.
- Christopher Kane - whether Kane gonna come up with flamboyant, outta-this-world collection (like his flower petal dress for SS09), will remain to be seen.
- Erdem - a red carpet fav with the dress that exudes femininity.
- Marios Schwab - dubbed as the 'Creator' due to his creatively used of material and add-ons such as 'rope' on a Grecian-look dress.
- Jaeger - one of the highstreet fav trendsetter.
- House of Holland - for quirky design and bold, clashing colors.
Predictions for AW09/10? Probably the designers will come up with design that screams 'economic downturn' or 'credit crunch'. If Micheal Kors already done it in New York last week, why not London to follow suit. And for start, credit crunch already hit the Fashion Week. Less models strut the catwalk, food being cut and minimum champagne flowing (good, at least follows what the Muslim do - no alcohol silly!)
P/S: Looking forward for MAN by Topman show. The only coveted menswear collection to be showcased in LFW.
