DANIELLE ROMERIL The Danielle Romeril presentation was a fashion jungle in the heart of London. A highlight for the presentations on the Sunday. Garments included fringed and ruffled flared trousers, a abstract jungle print trench and a jungle tartan dress. The use and variation of prints within the collection was very interesting. Soft colours were used - black, white, pastel pink and mint green. The shoes within the collection stood out to me also. Slingback crocs with fringe detail complemented the clothes well, blending in but still holding a strong place on their own. NIRO WANG YII YII SS16 collection had a youthful and playful feel to it. Tops and dresses were cut to straight, boxy silhouettes,collaging original graphic inserts were used too. Loose fitted silhouettes are also used for ease of comfort combining clean and minimal lines. The prints were playful and full of imagination. One of the highlights for me was the use of texture with crocheted spots mixed with mesh used within the knitwear. The main backdrop colour was white throughout the collection, but the bold assents of colour made the collection stand out. VINTI ANDREWS CLEO PEPPIATI Peppiatt's collection was a bold and fun experience and brightened my mood and day when entering the presentation space. The collection featured hand drawn prints, intricate beading and embroidery and a mixture of materials and textures. The collection was fun tongue and cheek promoting the idea of a strong modern day digital girl who is prepared for what ever the world and the future throws at her. The prints were fun, cute and bold. As eccentric as the items were, you would wear every piece from the collection... and as "crazy" as some may say it was........ it just worked! The SS16 collection coming in the not so distant future for you digital girls out there. The styling was superb by Pheobe Arnold and the fun set pieces were created by Amy Exton. CROSSOVER EAST X ADORN LONDON PARTYI missed a few of the early evening shows and started to pop into the party circuit early. The 1st stop for the evening was the Adorn jewellery party. Which featured jewellery designers such as Ejing Zhang , Hefang and A'Lepoque and featured clothing from AnnaKiki. Running to and frow from the front row of fashion week there was only one drink that I was drinking running the cobbles during fashion week..... Lovo. Lovo is the perfect blend of Thai coconut water and vodka. It was so refreshing and surprisingly good for you using less the 1% fruit sugar. It's a perfect cocktail for all of us who likes a drink every now and then but are trying to stay trim. AOFM 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY PARTY at Libertine. I then ran over to support my friends at AOFM Make up at the AOFM 10th London Fashion Week Anniversary Party. After a quick stop on the press line doing some interviews and taking pictures for paps, admirers and fans we ran into the party to be served drinks complementary of Russian Standard Vodka and we dined on the finest canapes by Canapes Direct. The best part of about the party was when you face got sweaty (which it did thanks to the fabulous DJ) there was a make up artist on stand by at all times waiting to give you a bit of a "touch up". Well I took up the offer and got touched up ready for the last party I was heading on to in the early hours of the morning.

DAY 2 MARKUS LUPFER MARKUS LUPFER It was a great start to the morning when I arrived at the Markus Lupfer presentation. I was greeted at the door with a fun cocktail, (it's never too early for a drink during fashion week). Then I was directed to the stunning barren floral wasteland that was awaiting upstairs. The venue was completely transformed into a floral dessert. The sun was shinning through the french doors and windows in the venue which made a great environment to view the collection. The collection featured a mixture of sheer and mesh fabrics with modern infused rich floral prints. The collection used various prints that all went well together. There was light weight floral items such as the sheer embellished organza bomber jacket. This was one of my favourite pieces for the collection. I thought it was so easily wearable (along with the whole collection). You can throw the jacket on over a plain black dress or wear it with a A line skirt. The collection had a theme of clean A-line shapes and 3d sequin embellishment, this theme carried on through the accessories including the shoes. JUDY WU Judy Wu show was certainly one to watch on the Saturday, everyone was wanting to see her next collection with the previous successful of her past catalog of work. The show did not disappoint. There was a mixture of pastel colours along with loose silhouettes. each piece featured various different mixture of colours. Greys, green blues, pinks and mint and a pop of ruby created a colourful canvas of creativity for the collection. The prints were striking with soft marble effects blending splendidly together along with colour blocking with prints and cut away lines. Min wu MIN WU was introducing a sense of the digital age into the fashion world that is fashion week. The collection featured some of the most modern pieces throughout the whole of the season. White was used as a backdrop for the minimal but effective use of print. The prints featured blended spots and patches of faded colour. The presentation had a modern sci-fi feel to it. A cool digital film screening in the background of the collection was shown which made viewing the presentation just as much of a modern and digital experience as it was advertised. MOON J MOON J had a fun and fashionable life inspired collection. The collection was inspired by the idea of life being a game and it advancing step by step. The concept of not following others and keeping at your own pace created a lifestyle collection that was easily wearable. Sport wear inspired jackets and jumpers featured highly in the collection. The use of stripes and blocking dominated the collection creating fun and easily wearable pieces. Steven Tai well it had been a while since I had been back to school but visiting the Steven Tai presentation I didn't quite mind going back. This was the most fun, creative and interactive presentation I had seen for the whole of fashion week. The collection was perfectly placed behind an impressive classroom set piece. The concept of the collection featured fun and girly silhouettes. A lines skirts, playsuits, cropped trousers and waistcoats all featured. The fabrics and items selected and used were perfect for summer THREE FLOORS PERSEPHONI
