LFW

           ‘A Child of the Jago’                                                                                ‘House of Holland

So it would be a bit like avoiding the elephant in the room if we didn’t blog about London Fashion Week right? Well it’s the last day today and we’re sorry to say we haven’t been to any of it, guess we’ll have to stick to Manchester fashion week for now!
Anna Wintour commented that the collections this year were ‘Sterling’ and that ‘the focus in London is always on creativity’, which is true, the designers always seem to find ways to create unique styles which also translate to the commercial market, (which must be one of the hard parts).

One of my favourite collections was ‘A Child Of The Jago’. The designers are Simon Barnzley Armitage and Joseph Corre whose self quoted signatures are “Swag jackets based on the local gamblers of Clerkenwell in the 1800s. Mack the Knife suits and silk patch T-shirts.” And the good news is that this season they aim to launch some womenswear.
Another is the House of Holland SS/2012 Collection; bold, bright clashing colours with a lot of print based designs make me want it to be next summer already.

Anyway there’s so much I could write about that this could turn into a novel so I better stop now, hope everyone who got a chance to go enjoyed themselves (but not too much).  
I’ve got my card ready in hand for when everything hits the high street.
HAVE to put this one in the diary for next year.
