Fireworks at Mary Katrantzou

“Mary Katrantzou’s Fall 2016 collection was one filled with volume, color and dynamic layering aesthetics. Even her incorporation of trench coats on top of dresses and skirts proved to be a guiding point of the collection, tapered with intricate designs and only enhancing the variation of texture and design.”

#IntellectualsUnite at Vivienne Westwood

Grand dame Vivienne Westwood can do little wrong in the eyes of the British fashion community. Influenced by renaissance artists Donatello and El Greco, the Fall 2016 RTW collection featured models wearing burgundy porkpie hats, fluidly draped silhouettes and a rich color palette of earthy greens, apple reds, and pale olives.

Something for Everyone at Topshop Unique

Lineisy Montero, Karly Loyce, and Malaika Firth were archetypal high street goddesses at Topshop Unique‘s Fall 2016 RTW show this Sunday. Natural hair on fleek, these superstar models displayed the sheer number of options available under Topshop’s high-end clothing line. From shimmy-worthy short dresses to quilted outerwear, the brand had something for every woman — especially the youth who were in a frenzy to catch a glimpse of front-row celebs Lara Stone and Karlie Kloss.

The Return of Alexander McQueen

After 13 years in Paris, Alexander McQueen was back in action in London this weekend for its Fall 2016 RTW collection. A return to the late designer’s hometown was met with great expectation and much enthusiasm.

And The Rest…

Famous for its divine leather bags, Mulberry offered a Shakespearean twist this time with frills and ruffles on high octane. Paul Smith exhibited clean lines in suiting and a quirky sense of humor through apple core motifs splashed on knit tops. Temperley London swung far left into pirate references by showing cropped corduroy jackets and sailor-inspired cotton dresses.
