London Fashion Week
Fashion Week has been in full swing since last Friday, and Daydream has been checking out some of both the on schedule and off schedule shows, and some of the other going-on’s around town.
Kinder Aggugini showed on Saturday at the BFC tent at Somerset House, his 3rd show for LFW. The show was elaborate, with candelabra’s and statues on the catwalk and long sweeping dresses a focal point. The light floaty fabrics of the maxi-dresses was made more appropriate for Autumn/Winter with the inclusion of tailoring and military style jackets, fur, knit and tweed detailing, and flashes of red and green within the mostly black palette.
There was talk of perhaps a theme of mourning to his collection, arrived at from the long black dresses and drama of the catwalk, although the skinny trousers, and flashes of red and leather gave the collection a sexy, rock n’ roll edge too.
We also popped down to 20 Beak Street, to see Carnaby’s contribution to fashion week, a small exhibition space for alternative designers. It was a really interesting space, with highlights being Miss Jacqueline White'st-shirts designs and Neon O’Clock Works amazing head pieces. Definitely worth checking out this week.
