London Fashion Week (Dishing the dirt)

London Fashion Week was amazing. Not only were all the designs unique, but every one of them deserves to be listed for awesomeness. However, the big designers were the best and I only give you the best, so take a look at the gallery below, including the designs of Christopher Kane, Marc Jacobs, Tory Burch and Versace(okay, maybe not, but Versace deserves a mention on a blog including them in the name.) The first dress is from a collection which I could not pinpoint, but certainly struck me as the perfect dress for a semi-formal event. If you look at the previous pictures on NYFW you will notice quite a lot of red. It seems as if red is the colour of the season.
















I adore the play with patterns that these designers used, along with the bold, daring combinations they dared to choose. This season shows promise of being filled with gentle yet statement colours, a variety of colours, and offers every fashionista the chance to experiment with different textures and mismatched outfits. This catwalk season offered everything, from casual to sleek, from urban to rural, from street to office and most of all, from last seasons gloom to spring and summer bloom. And, with those concluding words, aaannnddd that's a wrap to FWs
Also, exciting news, I've found myself a photographer. In the next post, prepare to welcome Fatimah , a newbie photographer to help me as a newbie blogger.
Also, your support and love has been a blessing and I love you all so much...

Spring in Action (Dishing the Dirt)

Spring had arrived in full flair, and designers have taken this opportunity to host the biggest annual fashion events. London Fashion Week 2015 was brimming with colour, light and extraordinary courage. Nothing was the usual, everything had a unique, bright fashionable perspective. When I looked at the outfits laid out in front of me, I saw that while all were more than just beautiful, very few had the aspect of Spring screaming me in the face. So with that in mind, I picked out 2 collections which I loved and am sure you will too. The Top Shop Collection was my absolute favourite. A basic style rule is that underdone is well done, and TS played by it perfectly, with the subtle amount of make up, which was bold and daring, and the equally amazing wardrobe. Although it portrays classic style, the black and white doing just that, it also conveys a young, chic view with the reds and maroons in the mix. The red stood out as the main element to me, and took on a very constrasting and bold turn jn comparison to the rest if the look. The designer of this collection has made it runway perfect but also had that street style element, making it suitable for both casual and formal events. All I can say is, I want, I want, I want!!!

My other go-to collection this spring would be the Burberry Prorsum. The name matches perfectly with the outfit designs, which dive straight into each and every shade if purple and pink. Whether it be the startling grape, the soft lilacs or seductive pinks, this collection brings new birth in every way, adding a playful, youthful touch to the runway. The dresses, while not completely street style made, can certainly be adapted from straight-formal to flaired skater girl, with the designs all kept perfect. All we have to do now is wait to grab hold of these necessary beauties (All photos from Harper's Bazaar)
