Fashion Week
As a self confessed lover of fashion, fashion week (or as it probably should be called - fashion month) has always been an exciting time of the year, but over the last ten years, it has really changed for me....
As a fashion marketing student at university, I was obsessed with the whole event, and in an attempt to feel part of it attending as many London Fashion Weekends as I could, but in reality these events are not even remotely like the shows, more like the grown up equivalent of the Clothes Show but a way for me to be surrounded by other fashionistas and experience/buy into new brands. I especially became mesmerized by Mulberry - back in the days of Emma Hill I loved the brand, more specifically its aesthetic and quirky spin on the catwalk show (who else would feature gnomes or monsters). I even managed to track down campaign postcards & brand books on ebay from several of the collections and still love to flip through them, remembering the British brand in what I believe was their its heyday. With this interest became brand specific posts, rounding up details & inspirations, showcasing my favourite looks from the catwalk as well as lots of brand imagery. I really miss the whimsical brand shots Mulberry used to create - my favourite being from AW12, which was inspired by the Maurice Sendak’s book Where The Wild Things Are. Click here to view this campaign as well all my other Fashion Week content.
Once i graduated, these "show posts" became less and less as life took over, but also with the introduction of social media the shows became a lot more accessible so i didn't feel the need to write about them anymore. Until recently i still managed to write a couple of posts per season - usually for my favourite designers - the amazing Sophia Webster, shoe goddess extraordinaire and the gorgeously quirky Anya Hindmarch but since having a baby, these again have lapsed somewhat. I had planned to get back on the horse this season but after discovering that there would be no Sophia Webster presentation this year (imminent baby arrival trumps fashion) i haven't had as much enthusiasm.....but keep your eyes peeled as there may be a cheeky Anya Hindmarch round up, as i cannot resist her exquisite accessories.
So what now?
Whilst I have fallen out of love with the fashion week of old, I still enjoy the spectacle and if I ever got the opportunity to go to a show....you better believe I would be there with bells on!!! Wanting to be part of fashion week was a big part of my student days but was so exhausting, especially as i didn't live in London - and would have be even more so if i had actually gone to any shows....it seems like a glamorous event to attend but more and more in recent years, fashionistas have pulled back, to just a hand full of shows as it is an impossibly grueling week of basically running around London as no two shows are in the same location. With the technology innovations of recent years, with apps such as Twitter & Instagram, being able to watch other bloggers content has helped to relive this pressure and allows fashion to be enjoyed again and in some cases shopped instantly! #fastfashion #thefutureoffashion
For me Fashion week is now all about street style and taking inspiration from fabulous ladies to use in my own everyday styling. I find there is something very relaxing about scrolling through beautiful outfit imagery and using this to inspire me, especially whilst i have been finding my fashion groove again after having bubba.
So i will leave you with some of my favourite fashion week street style images, from the last few years....and let you consider

"The Winter 2018 collection imagines the Temperley London woman embarking on a unprecedented journey. A relevant tribute to pioneering aviatrixes who inspired women around the world to defy convention. It is a celebration of their fearlessness in pursuit of adventure and freedom that was to be found in the sky." - Temperley.com
❤
A collection best summed up as 1940s-showgirl-meets-WW2-pilot, with Amelia Earhart featuring on the mood board alongside embroidered military badges, flight jackets and sequins....all about strong women. I love the clear story behind the collection; the "world war workwear" element with the military inspirations, badging and soft tailoring mixed with true old school Hollywood glamour.
Pieces: Soft tailoring alongside sharp double breasted jackets, belted jumpsuits and coats with shimmering metallic pinstripes. Shearling Aviator jackets and oversized trenches layered over looks. Beautiful prints emulating starry night skies in pussybow midi length dresses. With all looks finished off with printed neckerchiefs, waisted gold medallion belts and boxing boots - sports lux juxtaposed against full on glamour. The attention to detail on the cocktail dresses especially is phenomenal....if only i had an occasion to wear such a piece!
Colour Palette: Chanelling the era of film noir; shades of venom, ivy and moss greens, moonbeam, slate and silver greys, sprinkled with ochre and soft pink hues.
Wartime workwear mixed with old school Hollywood Glamour....
Check out the collection's lookbook now on the Temperley site, with many items avaliable to pre-order now.
Also watch the show in all it's glory... and be sure to comment below on which is your favourite look.

I think my favourite look from the collection would have to be the black & silver cut out sequin paneled cocktail dress (#7 above). Something about the mix of fabrics and intricate panels is beautiful, a very sexy yet covered up dress. Really reminds me of old Hollywood and would be amazing teamed with a black knee high stiletto boot and clutch. At a mere £1,495 i'll take two!

Mulberry appears to be doing its own thing this fashion week - everyone else is showcasing Fall/Winter 18, but the British heritage brand has chosen to unveil SS18 instead, with a see now, buy now opportunity, with the collection available online straight after the show had finished #Beyondheritage.
Colour Palette: A very wide array of colours in the collection this season - dusty yellow, mustard, vibrant field green, faded blush, fuschia, red, cobalt and antique blue - all the colours of the rainbow!
The Finer Details: Frills and ruffles across clothing and as detailing on bags, chunky gold hardware, flowing fabrics, sequins, statement jewelled embellishments, clashing deck chair stripes, slouchy silhouetes, English ditsy florals, polka dots and very bold clashing colour combos. One element i did not like was the very odd head gear that the models were wearing..half were wearing what looked like oversized quality street wrappers, the other in huge flying saucers! Very bizarre.
An odd collection overall, but the best i have seen from Johnny Coca so far. Whilst i am still not sure about the clothing side of the collection, there were some beautiful fabrics and prints used but in odd clashing combinations. The handbags however were up to the brands usual standard, made from luxurious leathers in a rainbow of colours with new "families" emerging from the popular Amberley satchel - the Seaton & Marloes to name two, all featuring the new iconic lock detail. Although the collection wasn't entirely my cup of tea, there were as usual a few pieces that caught my eye and that i would love to add to my wardrobe, mainly bags as that is what i associate with the Mulberry brand but this season two items of clothing have snuck on my wishlist...
Mini Seaton - Stripe £1,095 | Lynton Mini bucket - Ballerina Pink £1,250 | Marloes Satchel - Cobalt Blue £1,095
Geraldine Dress - Ruby Polka Dot £1,340 | Lynton - Charcoal Grey £1,095
Marloes Hobo - Antique Ruby £1,195| Sandra Dress - Light Candy Gem Embroidered £3,110
The one thing i am really dissapointed about, is the price of this collection. While i am under no illusion that for most of us a Mulberry handbag is an investment piece that requires saving for, i thought the brand was trying to bring down price points to make it more accessible but that does not appear to be the case. Most of the new bags are over £1000 and that really puts me off, don't get me wrong anything above £50 is a lot but four figures for a bag, even one hand crafted in Britian.....where's my lottery ticket!
What did you think of the collection? What was your favourite piece?

For Autumn Winter 2017, Webster transformed the basement of Soho record shop "Phonica" into an ice-cold winter wonderland complete with a giant igloo bubble. What better backdrop for the chilling but beautiful "I scream for Ice Queens" collection. Embracing the traditional Sophia Webster take on fashion week, the venue was decked out to tell a story. With towering models - bundled up like the abominable snowman, with super furry winter boots or like they had stepped straight out of Narnia, adorned with mystic crowns of shimmering jewels and ice inspired crystals, surrounded by the fairytale collection of shoes and bags.
"The collection is inspired by Frozen, because I have a two-and-a-half-year-old daughter, so Elsa was the main inspiration. And Harbin ice-festival in China which is a life-size iced village that they build every year. They light it up at night – it’s like a magical, colourful ice kingdom. And the main square there is called Sophia square – so it’s destined to be!" - quote taken from Marie Claire interview.
A pastel take over with icy lilacs, baby pinks, pale shades of blue and lots of white, set against silvery metallics and sumptuous furs. A combination of textures adding extra depth to the pieces - velvet, glitter, crystals, pearls and smooth supple leathers to name a few - with these delicate details flowing through into the room decor and model outfits.
I really enjoyed the softer side to this collection, especially all the beautiful shades of pastel pinks but also the slightly more simplified styling (more wearable styles), this was a nice change of pace from the designer. My favourite pieces would have to be tiara heels, combing beautiful beading and pearls with the pale pink velvet upper and the typically ornate heel. I also really liked this years take on the sneaker, a very practical piece but given that Sophia twist to make it both feminine, functional yet still a statement.
Finally the Glacier sandal bootie (below) with dramatic starburst crystals was hands down my favourite pair of the whole collection - something very dark and mysterious but beautiful about them, love the drama!
If it is still available be sure to head over the the Sophia Webster Facebook page and check out the live video - a great way to experience the presentation and learn more about the beautiful collection.

Autumn Winter 2017
"Autumn Winter 2017 explores the contrast between the romanticised notions of winter and wanderlust and the darker motifs found in Old Norse folklore. This has been explored through modern interpretations of traditional leather craft techniques, including Scandinavian Kurbits and complex hand-woven leatherwork."
- Anya Hindmarch
For me Anya Hindmarch is all about the accessories, although some of the clothing is beautiful and luxurious, it is the bags in particular that always inspire me and this seasons collection is no exception.
I love the opulence of this collection - from the gorgeous colour palette of rich burgundy and emerald green, interspersed with shots of yellow, baby pink and teal (not the traditional colours of winter) - to the variety of texture and unexpected elements of detailing. Colourful fur, knitted shorts and leather trims/embellishments dotted across the 38 looks within the show, adding to the wintery luxury and fun - although I will say the only part I was not so taken by was the socks and furry slides combination! All imagery in this post taken from Anya Hindmarch AW17
I was a big fan of the leather work in the SS17 collection and was so pleased to see it back for another season. The intricate braiding and "paperchain" style straps adorning the classic bag silhouettes, add something new to a relatively simple accessory. I also love that some of the touches I have grown to know and love from Anya Hindmarch are still seen, the whimsical keychains and cartoon eyes, that sit perfectly aside the new.
Of all the pieces in the collection, the one item that has made my lust list is this satchel. Crinkled metallic leather and soft suede, in a gorgeous shade of teal, with a paper chain handle and pieced leather dragonfly motif. An exquisite piece of craftsmanship that would look amazing styled with my favourite navy wool coat.

"Our Summer 2017 collection celebrates the new desert rainbow tribe, exploring our girls desire for escapism with rich sunset colours and iridescent glimmers. We follow her dreams of the other world through the lens of a desert mirage."
- Alice Temperley
The moment i saw this rainbow, sequin jumpsuit complete with cape, i knew this was going to be a special collection. Feminine and soft but with dramatic pops and a powerful palette of summery pastels mixed with bold shades of the rainbow. A collection of simple, but very wearable silhouettes that let the detailing do all the talking.
Beautiful surrealist prints on silk and chiffon, tapestry jacquard, eclectic stripes layered with folk inspired prints and stitch work- a very colourful and textured collection. Exquisite eveningwear pieces adorned with iridescent sequins and whimsical flowers, with lashings of embellished tulle and organza in a rainbow spectrum of soft colours channeling the spirit of dreamcatchers. A fashion week show fit for a modern day princess!
These are the nine looks i loved the most - all styles i could see myself wearing. Although i love the whole collection, i don't have many occasions to wear such ornate pieces, but the Almond mix charm skirt (below) is just so wearable but still has the fun and romantic essence of the collection. Teamed with a silky cami and sandals, this would make a perfect addition to my summer wardrobe.
The main thing that caught my eye in this collection is simply the level of intricate detailing in each piece....just look at how much has gone into just the waistband and sleeves on the Chimera Top and Almond Mix Wildflower Skirt, simply beautiful.
