London Fashion Week

With the chance of a free ride to London by Uni, we all jumped at the chance to visit London Fashion Week showcasing the a/w 14 collections!

The lack of entry to the catwalks didn't stop us from getting some great street style shots and inspiration!

The bright spring colours were out, bringing some life to the dull English weather,

Pinks, Yellows and Reds were popular choice especially for statement coats.

I loved the vintage chic feel of these outfits, and the silhouettes are so simplistic yet glamorous.

We were able to view HEMYCA's presentation of their collection which was a unique experience whereby the models walked around a standing crowd and then resided within lit up instalments.

So for a free trip to London, it was quite successful, and an inspiring atmosphere to be involved in!

Pure London Event..

Needing some inspiration and motivation to get on with my FMP, a trip to an inspiring fashion event was in order.

Pure London is a 3 day fashion event with talks, catwalk shows and stands showcasing brands and boutiques and a/w 14/15 trends.

A talk by WGSN was highly inspiring exploring the key garments, colours and details retailers should expect. 

Other talks explored the future of retailing and online shopping which was all interesting towards my research!

Forecasting the future of retail debate and Melanie Press from Press of Primrose Hill discussing the move to selling online. 

The catwalk shows displayed a variety of trends and colours to look out for including gypsy, primary colours and graphic industrial prints.

I felt this embroidery sums up my indecisiveness with my project quite well...
