Ashish FW 2013

Ashish Gupta is known for his signature sequined sportswear which he continued this season at London Fashion Week. I must say, this show and Christopher Kane's were the ones I was looking forward to the most. I mean, look at all of the sequins!! I'm like a bird when it comes to shiny things.  

Anyways, the latest collection for Ashish featured the sequins but with a twist. In an interview with NylonTV, Gupta said this season was "inspired by workwear" and that he wanted to put a twist on it by doing it all in sequins.

Below are the trends in the show and I hope you'll be as amazed as I was. Ashish is never a dull show and this season made me a little emotional because of how beautiful everything was, I can only pray you feel the same.

Christopher Kane FW 2013

SO, Christopher Kane's collection was probably the one I was most excited for in London Fashion Week. Kane only recently appeared on the fashion radar a few years ago but he has established himself and become loved by many. (I'm one of those people.) In his latest collection, he went for a sensible route using heavy fabrics. Looking below you can check out the major trends in his Fall 2013 show:

Blue Buckles

Camo

Central Saint Martins FW 2013

London Fashion Week is in full swing and I loved the show Central Saint Martins put on. There were 14 collections within the show.

For those who don't know, CSM isn't a label, it's a school in London so the show is different students' work and they send out great products. I especially loved how all of the collections were different from each other and showed a strong distinction from designer to designer. Below I have collaged together my favorites from the collections with the designers' names as well. 

Eilish Macintosh

Marie Rydland

Jaimee McKenna

Elena Crehan

Rachel Hewitt

Hampus Berggren

Sadie Williams

Toma Stenko

Which one is your favorite? I loved them all for very different reasons but I must say that Hampus Berggren's has a special place in my heart because I love menswear that thinks outside of the boring suits. It's totally my style, I would wear all of it.

Vivienne Westwood Spring 2013 - Makeup and Accessories

For Vivienne Westwood's latest collection I really wanted to focus more on the makeup, styling, and accessories because it was so impeccable. She stuck to her usual edge-pushing aesthetic and royal embellishments but did push the envelope even more than expected.

Here the model has a HEART painted onto her face. I'll let that sink in for awhile. 

Osman Spring 2013

Osman had a mixed collection this season. There were bright colours, but also gold embroidery. The collection wasn't very connected and quite discombobulated but the individual pieces and outfits were beautiful. Scroll below to see...

so. much. chest. (but still classy somehow)

Christoper Kane Spring 2013

Christopher Kane unveiled his latest collection at London Fashion Week and boy was it magical!

There was everything from black leather to white leather to "taped" garments to jelly bows.

If any of that confused you (as I'm sure it probably did), look at the beauties below!

There's nothing like quilted white leather to say "Fierce bitch".

The first showings of the "tape" on the pieces.

The drapery on here is impeccable. I love how it just looks folded on itself like it's naturally there, wow.

BOWS

She's a nicely-wrapped Christmas present. Quite elegant.

You might have to click on the photo to fully see it but the skirt is jellied! The black laced strings are gelatinous! GELATINOUS, I SAY!

Properly-placed bows are always welcomed.

Okay, do you see it? This is what I mean! The dress has embellishments taped to it! Like they're TAPED onto the fabric. You would think that would look über trashy but it totally doesn't. It reads high fashion so much. I would wear this jacket.

He always looks so cool, be my friend Christopher!

Would you wear any of these pieces? If so, which ones? Leave a comment below..
