LONDON FASHION WEEK: BALLY & CENTRAL ST MARTINS SHOE COLLABORATION
London Fashion Week: Bally and Central St Martins Shoe Collaboration
In 2009 Bally tasked 15 students, selected by Louise Wilson from both the 1st and 2nd year of Central St Martins MA Fashion Design Course to submit women’s shoe designs to Bally. Out of the original 15, Bally and Central St Martins jointly selected 5 students to have their work developed at Bally’s workshops in Florence, Italy and Caslano, Switzerland - the results were on display to the press yesterday, 23rd Feb, at Browns Hotel, London.
Working from a brief that asked them to create designs with high editorial value and a strong feeling of luxury each student’s work focused on accentuating a different part of the foot. All 5 students Estefania Cortes Harker, William Hendry, Frida Hofslagare, Stephanie Turner and Charles Youssef were on hand to show off their shoes and talk about their inspiration.
And, news of the collaboration spread quickly across town – our favourite fashion bloggers and tweeters wasted no time in acknowledging the highly creative talents of the group.

LONDON FASHION WEEK: PRINGLE OF SCOTLAND AW10: SHOW
London Fashion Week: Pringle of Scotland: Show
Creative Director Clare Waight Keller on her AW Collection: “There are a lot of Scottish influences of course, but it was also about pairing it down and playing with proportions. Small tops and bigger bottoms! I also wanted to mix up textures, so we used tweed and tartans, but mixed it up with leathers and shearling.
The skirt pleats for example, were a way of breaking up and deconstructing the kilt into many layers to give it more movement and abstract quality. I have many favourites in the collection of course, but I especially like the sweater dresses with the velvet back and the big pants!

As part of Pringle’s 195 year celebration this morning Julia Peyton-Jones, Serpentine Gallery Director presented the 195 Collaboration Talks at the Serpentine gallery to unveil collaborations with various Scottish artists, all inspired by Pringle garments, patterns and styles, focusing on the iconic twin-set.

A cold Sunday afternoon was cheered up significantly by a stunning collection from Matthew Williamson who took inspiration from the culture of Spanish matadors featuring fan details on cobalt, purple, and salt-and-pepper tweed suits; fiesta prints; toreador trousers; and dazzling shifts and gowns in gold and silver, based on bullfighters’ jackets. Heavily embellished pieces were sprinkled with Swarovski crystals.

LONDON FASHION WEEK: ST TROPEZ HEATS THINGS UP AT MARIOS SCHWAB
“It’s all about the legs” claims St Tropez’s skin finishing expert Nichola Joss whilst artfully applying ‘Wash Off’ tan to the models backstage.
Schwab’s AW10 collection was a definite hit with his beautifully detailed, flowing dresses and hemlines rising just above to knee to showcase those perfectly finished legs.
Set to be the tanning trend of the season, a flawless matte finish is achieved using the ‘Wash Off’ range from St Tropez – the perfect accessory for those of us wanting a tan without the commitment.
So ladies, it’s time to ditch the tights this winter and brave the elements because legs are well and truly back!

Staying true to the Twenty8Twelve philosophy, and to communicate the eclectic set of references this season, the designers play with the use of multi-dimensional media, to present a film alongside their live Autumn Winter 2010 presentation.

This will be an exclusive opportunity to see this beautifully created film for the very first time.
The film, shot at Hilles, Detmar Blow’s beautiful manor house, gives a family vibe which echoes back to memories of homemade films, where all inhibitions are lost and offers a glimpse into what to expect from the new collection from Twenty8Twelve.
LIVE STREAMING from 8pm (Sunday, February 21st, 2010)

LONDON FASHION WEEK: MARGARET HOWELL AW10: SHOW
London Fashion Week: Margaret Howell : Show
Inspiration:
Our girl has ventured out of town to a house party in the country. Surprisingly for a city dweller she’s committed to staying over.
After a restless nights sleep she decides to venture back to Town. Not wanting to disturb her hosts she silently collects her belongings – she throws (her now crumpled) party dress over a slip and exchanges her velvet pumps for slim lace up ankle boots. She creeps down to the kitchen and washes her face in soap and cold water – the soap leaves her skin taught and tingling clean but fails to remove all traces of the evening’s eye makeup. Her hair unbrushed she hunts around for something more adequate to wear – spotting some gardening clothes on the back of a door she pulls on a hand knit jumper and ties another around her neck. She steps outside into the cold morning light. The cold, bracing air flushes her cheeks.
Relieved to be alone she walks across the field – the damp air clings to her hair forming a frizzy halo. Her stride is confident and rhythmic – she’s enjoying the rare feeling of being alone and with no one to listen starts to sing…..
She perhaps feels a bit self conscious as she sees the station approaching and rummages around in her leather bag (slung across her) to find her i-pod- she might even tidy up a bit – pulling back her hair loosely into a band….

LOUISE GOLDIN AW10 & ST TROPEZ…. THE YEAR-ROUND GOLDIN GLOW
Sunday saw yet another scintillating show by designer Louise Goldin. Goldin certainly didn’t disappoint with her stunning AW10 Collection, which was showcased at London Fashion Week and sponsored by skin finishing experts St Tropez.
The bold, futuristic, military-inspired collection was super-sculptured, edgy and packed with attitude, a look that was perfected with a flawless St Tropez glow. The key notes for beauty trends stood out as strongly and sharply as the silhouettes on the runway; a year-round healthy glow and flawless luminous skin is ‘the look’ that all fashionista’s should be striving for.
Thankfully, St Tropez have made this ‘aspirational look’ incredibly easy to achieve for us mere mortals, with their fabulous ‘Wash Off’ range, which simply creates an amazing fuss-free tan…in seconds! So, what are you waiting for? Go get that Goldin glow!

LONDON FASHION WEEK: SASS & BIDE AW10: SHOW
London Fashion Week: Sass & Bide: Show
Tomorrow the great is a visual collision of nature and industry; an all-consuming collective celebrating the drama of contrast and contradiction.
a modern take on Edwardian style evokes a sense of faded grandeur with high-necks and structured styles embellished in an eccentric mix of shell, bone, metal and perspex.
strong shapes and clean silhouettes make way for a graphic clashing of stripes, zig-zags and ethnic print-work, completing the cross-cultural aesthetic.
presenting, tomorrow the great.
