Giles SS09
One of, if not the most anticipated shows of London Fashion Week, the Giles show did not disappoint.
Agyness Deyn made her first London appearance in a show packed with some of world’s current top models. Sporty mesh tees were mixed with patent pencil skirts, a series of tailored jersey day dresses in orange, lipstick red, turquoise blue and sunshine yellow were a highlight, as were the couture ball gowns that closed the show.

Dame Shirley Bassey, Georgia and Lizzie Jagger, Leah Wood and Tamsin Egerton perched front row to view a collection of crisp tailoring with a 70s edge, flowing maxi dresses and wafting kaftans from designer Karen Boyd.

Nanette Lepore SS09
Nanette’s collection oozed femininity and romance. Models strutted the catwalk in cascading frill dresses, striped jackets and bold floral prints in poppy, hibiscus, leaf and stone hues.
I can’t wait to get my hands on the super chic embellished tunic and sultry poppy satin dresses - that’s my Summer wardrobe all wrapped up!

Ferragamo AW08 Catwalk Show
On Tuesday, Cristina Ortiz debuted her first collection for Salvatore Ferragamo in her role as Creative Director of Women’s Ready to Wear.
The A/W 2008 collection provided a glitzy mix of evening satin dresses and jumpsuits which contrasted beautifully with luxurious tailored suiting and fabulous winter white coats. A brown croc trench coat and a new identity for the brand and it’s woman!

Swarovski at LFW and Swarovski Crystalised
Swarovski crystals sparkled at all the key shows this week being used in innovative and different ways at each show.
Giles sent models down the catwalk in towering stilettos decorated with crystal wing nuts in a rainbow of colours. Christopher Kane treated us to delicate dresses with a waterfall of crystals rippling as the models walked. Erdem’s beautiful impressionist prints on delicate duchess satin were highlighted by large funnel necks embellished with a variety of shaped crystals in bright blues, greens and reds.
A truly fabulous week for Swarovski that began with a star studded party at the new Crystalised store and cosmos lounge with Cuba Gooding Jnr enjoying cocktails under the sparkling crystal chandeliers.

Erdem AW08 Catwalk Show
At 2.30pm on Valentines day, Erdem showed his Autumn / Winter 2008 collection which proved to be his best yet.
The eponymous London ready-to-wear line established in 2005 by Erdem Moralioglu, has won plaudits for its modern luxurious feminine chic - a signature look fusing sharp, forward tailoring with romanticism and bold graphic custom designed silk prints.
Erdem drew on couture influences for his exaggerated but refined silhouettes, combining his signature prints - this season a computerised blurred floral - with hand-worked embroidery and multicoloured Swarovski crystals.
