#LFW - A La Mode

So A La Mode was the second show I got to attend at fashion week on Friday. The show was made up of a collection of designers, from Obscure Couture, Maria Rehmali, SEEN by Sumayyah Al Suwaidi, Luna Sky and Kami Shade.

Each designer had a stunning selection of clothing, from the pink bobs and crazy yellow and gold clothing, which wouldn't look out of place on the likes of Nicki Minaj or Rihanna, at Obscure Couture to the gorgeous evening dresses at Luna Sky embellished with beads and feathers and perfect for any Christmas party. These dresses in fact bared significant similarities to dresses seen at the PPQ show earlier that day. I also loved the sequin dresses by Kami Shade, they came in sequins of every colour and would fit nicely into the British high street. They could easily be sold in the Boutique section of Topshop. 

However despite the beautiful clothing I felt the venue for the show let the whole thing down. Set in a beautiful cellar, the audience were made to sit in little alcoves along the catwalk with brick walls separating each one. The idea was nice but the outcome was disappointing. If you were sat anywhere but the front row you couldn't see any of the catwalk and only caught a glimpse of the model as she strutted past. I felt I didn't get to experience the whole show to it's full potential.

Saying that, I don't want to put negativity on the clothing as it really was stunning and the designers should be proud of what they achieved. To read my full review on the show for TellusFashion, click here.
