The Topshop showspace is always a highlight of London Fashion Week for me. With shows from Topshop Unique to Mary Katrantzou and J.W Anderson, there is always guaranteed to be some spectacular talent on show. I loved the futuristic catwalk this season and how each designer adapted it to fit their collection. To see all the shows click here. Here are a couple of reviews of my favourite Topshop shows from London Fashion Week.
Topshop Unique
The music accompanying the Topshop Unique collection complimented the surroundings perfectly. The collection this season, as it is most, was very utilitarian and very simple but I feel like there was something missing this season; the collection didn't immediately grab my attention as it has done in previous seasons. However saying that, the collection is very wearable and at the end of the day, this is what sells. Big and extravagant collections always look spectacular but you could never wear most of the pieces, whereas this is where Topshop Unique excels as you could easily wear any piece that was seen on the catwalk. The neutral colours and interesting mix of sheer and shine fabrics accompanied with the graphic prints gives that edge which we all love from Topshop.
Mary Katrantzou
The Mary Katrantzou collection was all about shape and silhouette this season. From column style dress, flared skirts and shirt dresses to streamline suits, dipped hems and oriental style kimono jackets, the shapes all provided the perfect canvas to Katrantzou's spectacular prints. The outfits were patterned with stamp and bank-note motifs creating an almost tribal print in places as the bold and bright colours contrasted with the thick black edges of the stamps. As the show went on the striking colours that we saw in the beginning were transformed into a mixture of shimmering metallics. The collection was truly exotic and took the audience on a cultural journey around the world. Mary Katrantzou is known for her creative brilliances and she sure didn't let us down this season.
P.S. How cool to does Cara Delevingne look!?
