Yesterday, I visited Somerset House in London to experience what ‘London Fashion Week’ is really all about .
As you can imagine, the set up for LFW really was spectacular: tonnes of rooms in Somerset house were set up into stalls, showcasing the hottest and trendiest designers, from Louis Vuitton to American Vintage. It literally was designer clothes/shoes/accessories galore – but at discount prices! Pretty much girl heaven, what’s not to love?!
Despite the incredible pop-up stalls, for me, the main attraction was a large marquee in the centre courtyard of Somerset house, showcasing the catwalk. The catwalk show which I saw was called the ‘trend’ catwalk, thus showcasing the season’s upcoming trends… And luckily for you, I’ve shared them below!
The first trend which was showcased was ‘Hyper Florals‘, so expect clothes to be getting embellished with lots of botanicals, oversized petals, and big pops of colour – perfect for spring!
The second trend to be strutted down the catwalk was ‘Shimmer and Shine‘, showcasing a range of outfits in shiny metallics, radiant pastels and glimmering sequins – ideal for jazzing up a tired outfit!
Thirdly, ‘Make It Monochrome‘ worked its’ way down the catwalk, promoting graphic prints, oversized stripes, and bold two-tone finishes – you can’t go wrong with black and white!
Finally, and possibly the most interestingly; the fourth trend was ‘That Seventies Show‘, highlighting an array of suede, crochet and lace – yes, the flares are back!
London Fashion Week was a really great overall experience, and a lovely excuse for a day out shopping (not that you need an excuse!) For anyone interested in the world of fashion, I really would urge you to attend next year’s event – I’m sure it won’t disappoint!
