Style Trunk

London Fashion Week is over for another season, and I think I am only just recovering! Five days of glorious fashion, street style and beautiful people - amazing, yes, but also bloody tiring. Totally worth the dark circles lingering under my eyes though; I got to see some incredible shows and see first hand what's to come for AW15.

The thing I loved most about this season was the wearability of most of the collections. Yes, there was still the crazy eccentricity that fashion week (especially London) is known for, but for the most part, I spotted clothing making its way down the runway that I would happily put on tomorrow - no changes or paring down needed. 

Seventies still ruled, a trend that I am more than happy about, and there was also a lot of soft tailoring and androgynous looks that I loved. Head to Coggles where you can read the reports of the shows I went to, but these are my top five from LFW...

London Fashion Week is done - phew! After an amazing few days in the capital running from show to show, I'm back up North and ready to share everything from my LFW. Despite a bit of rain, a lot of wind and some very sore feet, this season was incredible, with lots of the designers showcasing really wearable collections - which was really refreshing. 

I'll be writing a post about my favourites soon but for now, this is one of the outfits I wore over fashion week. For this outfit I opted for ease and simplicity with a few added details in the obi belt, masculine watch and orange lipstick to add a bit of colour. 

London Fashion Week is in full swing, and I'm mostly spending it going from show to show, sharing updates on Twitter and Instagram (head over to Coggles where I'm writing full reports of the shows I'm going to). 

I'll be posting my looks from LFW next week, but for now let's go back to New York, and a few of my favourites from the designers' AW15 collections. As much as I love the crazy, uber-fashiony shows for their artistry and creativity, the shows that I like the most are the ones with looks that I would actually wear. This mainly translates to minimalism, classic tailoring, dark and neutral colours, and oversized silhouettes. 

These are exactly the reasons Hugo Boss, Lacoste, The Row, Tibi, Vera Wang (turns out she does more than bridal - who knew?!) were the stand out collections for me.
