London Fashion Week AW 2015-2016 is here!!! Days 1 & 2

My favorite Fashion Week!!! 

What I enjoy the most about this week is the amount of creative variety the designers generate. 

There has never been a strict code of trends. Collections are different from each other, from the most minimal silhouettes, through the deployment of more lush sensuality, up to the most flamboyant and imaginative designs; all of these executed flalwessly. 

London is the platform to exploit the creativity, and that's what I enjoy mainly of this Fashion Week.

Day 1 started with Korean designer Eudon Choi, who showed a architectural collection, lots of geometry going on, Japanese inspired. Great job! 

Filippo Scuffi created for Daks a sophisticated collection inspired by the 60's and 70's, possibly in rock festivals of the time, with beautiful leather jackets and an androgynous touch, very nice and flattering to the female figure . Such a good collection.

Symmetry and draping were the main characteristics of Jean-Pierre Braganza's collection. It had impeccably well-cut skirts and trousers, and his work with volumes was outstanding. Excellent!

Sass & Bide showed something different this time. The girls didn't look that "girly" anymore. I felt there were more intricate elements in their design, more lux in fabrics and a theme. It has this Japanese vibe, very interesting. Totally new for Sass & Bide. They have a new creative director, Anthony Cuthbertson. I like what I saw, and the approach Anthony is giving to the brand.

Now; Cozette, Sid, and Joe brought for Sibling a very sexy silhouette. Many synthetics (faux fur, vinyl to name a few), in juxtaposition with their woven pieces and knitwork, as well as other natural textures. They created a very beautiful and colorful collection.

Something interesting about the collection presented by Brazilian designer Lucas Nascimento is that although he has always stood by the futuristic and unconventional designs, this time he decided to work with simple silhouettes, some distinctive elements his aesthetique, but where the most attention is focused on the finished fabrics (dimensional embroidery and  large, colorful and bold prints), which brought out the pieces very favorably.

A very graphic and colorful collection presented Henry Holland for his eponymous collection House of Holland. Striped, checkered and zig zag prints were distributed masterfully in pieces, and colorful faux fur, which gave a distinctive touch to the outfits brought a funny statement to the show.
