Runway Roundup: LFW

A few of my favorite LFW collections thus far. It was a tough job narrowing them down because London is really something this season! I didn't think I would ever dare say it but it may be outdoing NY for me (or at least coming dangerously close!)

Peter Pilotto

This may have been the hardest collection to narrow down this time because their was just so much to include in order to sum up the collection, and really I still couldn't manage that completely. Besides the patterns that connected it all together, I fell for the cutouts, fun use of color, and figure-hugging fit of the majority of the garments.

Matthew Williamson

My FAVORITE of them all by far. Gold and printed pants, red lace and feathers, and sequins and fur makes for the type of collection that I fall in love with. I was thoroughly impressed with Williamson this season to say the least.

Marios Schwab

Beautiful and feminine, Schwab brought it with those finale dresses. Just another knockout collection. Plus, I think everyone needs a good black, leather trench...or at least they do now.

Antonio Berardi

With a great use of texture, Berardi showcased everything from oversize fur coats to sequin maxi skirts and I'm not mad at it. I loved his use of color (bonus points for the turquoise shoes) and the many wonderfully structured pieces of the collection.

Christopher Kane

Another collection where I loved the use of color. Kane was all over the place when it came to the darks and brights throughout the show, quickly moving from blacks/muted tones to one quick pop of color and back. Knits and outerwear also made an appearance this season, but my favorite piece just has to be that floral dress.

Note: I'd like to mention Mulberry, McQ, and Burberry also make my favorites list
(How could they not?)
