British fashion week is very experimental and playful. From here comes the most avant-garde trends, which will then be replicated in all brands, from fast fashion ones to designer ones. Come and see which key items we loved at LFW!
J.W. Anderson: casual & rad wear
The designer showed a casual wear line for men and women with sports reminiscences. Baggy garments, A-line dresses and skirts with ties and frocks, in a neutral palette: off white, nude, beige, gray, green loden and black, with some highlights in yellow, orange and violet. Without any doubt, the desire object of the season is the leather bag with crossed side laces, in a mix of colours and different kinds of leather.
Ashish: prints in technicolour
Gupta cannot avoid his Indian origins and, in his collections, he uses both color and pop, as well as irony. Through the credit card logo prints or slogans such as “naturist” or “hedonist”, he sent messages on the catwalk, always full of shining sequins. The fit was comfortable and modern, and juxtaposes brightness, embroidery, optical prints, winks to Latin American aguayos and a groovy vibe.
Delpozo: palette of desire
Josep Font is the creative person behind the geometric, modern and clean designs. Also, the owner of the most spectacular colour palettes. He knows how to combine different shades of blue, cerulean with pink or how to make pink and red (2018´s trend) work together. It seemed impossible to forget (and don’t buy) the two-tone peplum flower shaped leather belts. A sculptural and poetic collection.
The Queen, at Quinn´s
Richard Quinn is British master of prints. He played, juxtaposed floral prints, polka dots and leather and overlaid them in many pleated garments, big jackets and long boots. Models went down the runway with faces covered with motorcycle helmets and foulards, in a very Margiela ft. Daft Punk style. But the surprise had nothing to do with clothes but with Queen Elizabeth II´s herself in the front row, in her first visit at LFW, and Anna Wintour as her royal escort.
Burberry
In “Time”, Christopher Bailey´s farewell collection (he has been its creative director for the last 17 years), he decided to make it a memorable one, that pays tribute to the LGBQTI community, in which he belongs. Down the runway, he putfits were much more playful and and pop than usual. There was a mix of 3D flower prints and others that looked like children’s sketches, tartans, fish net tshirts and even work wear. In addition, he designed garments with the LGBQTI rainbow and reinvented the Scottish classic pattern with its colors. A happy and historical farewell.
On: Off: animated fantasies
In more than 40 looks, Lee Lapthorne showed that he is not afraid of sending unconventional designs down the catwalk. Or working with extravagant fabrics such as holographic vinyls, for which he created the most bizarre and inflatable pieces, or organza. Lee pleated, draped, printed, overlaid them and even turned them into a woven fabric, with fringes on the edges in a range of earth colors. An alien and spatial retro futuristic vibe that didn´t missed anything.
Enjoy!
