London Fashion Week SS16 Faves

Burberry Prorsum SS16 at London Fashion Week LFW
BURBERRY PRORSUM
Burberry Prorsum has really nailed it for SS16 - chunky slider sandals, personalised nylon backpacks and a mostly monochrome palate makes this collection right up my street. I find this collection edgier than Burberry's usual stuff - I absolutely love this tough leather jacket with gold detailing and as a fan of slip dresses last summer, I am completely sold on the long silk dresses with spaghetti straps. There iss mixing of textures, such as silk and mesh on the same mini slip dress and different types of lace. Despite this being a Spring/Summer collection, I love the emphasis on coats. After all, it is always winter or cold in some part of the world and as a coat fanatic, the variety from the classic trench coat to capes to leather jackets was perfect.

Daks SS16 at London Fashion Week LFW
DAKS
Daks was first show that I ever attended at London Fashion Week - in September 2013 for their SS14 collection - so, even though their style isn't usually my thing, I always check out their new collections season after season. I am seriously surprised at the switch from classic cuts and neutral shades to this seventies-inspired print and suede filled collection for SS16. I am such a fan of how they have turned classic seventies styles into modern tailoring, which, as we will see in Topshop Unique's collection, is the way forward for SS16.

Topshop Unique SS16 at London Fashion Week LFW
TOPSHOP UNIQUE
The Topshop Unique SS16 collection shows that this season's Eighties trend is here to stay for Spring/Summer 2016 but we are replacing the disco sequins for power suit tailoring. The styling of this trend is key - Topshop paired spotty cropped trousers, high waisted leather skirts and crisp shirts with mannish blazers, tied together with a skinny belt. There are softer sides to the collection, which I love, such as floral tea dresses and decorative pyjama-style daywear. To my delight, the faux fur trend is still going strong - in the form of clutch bags, long stoles thrown over the shoulder and that gorgeous pastel pink coat. 

Orla Kiely at London Fashion Week LFW
ORLA KIELY
Orla Kiely is always a collection I look forward to and this year did not disappoint! The setting was perfect - a mini golf course on which Orla's super stylish girls were tottering around in their amazing platform tan heels and sixties get-ups. If playing golf was genuinely like this, I'd say 'pass me a club' instantly! The colours are lovely bright pastels - if I can describe colours in that way - and the prints are floral and psychedelic. Oh, it's all just amazing.  

Le Kilt SS16 and Molly Goddard SS16 at London Fashion Week LFW
LE KILT / MOLLY GODDARD
I felt some serious nostalgia when I saw both Le Kilt and Molly Goddard's SS16 collections, for the late nineties/early noughties. Le Kilt had me convinced instantly with all the model sporting high top Converse, which were my shoe of choice throughout my teens and the grudgy bar setting is my perfect Friday night hangout. Molly Goddard's tutu dresses take me back to my teens as well although back then I would have chosen black mesh over rusty pink any day but this dress is just beautiful.

MM6 Maison Margiela SS16 and Ashish SS16 at London Fashion Week LFW
MM6 MAISON MARGIELA / ASHISH
And I have to give a quick mention to the best of the wacky by MM6 Maison Margiela and Ashish. MM6's collection feels like a mix between nostalgic Eighties disco and futuristic sci-fi nerd in the use of lots of sequins and plastic, which looks like plastic bags. It kind of works. I'm not how prêt-à-porter the styling is but some of the individual pieces are amazing. As for Ashish - what isn't there to love about skater girls dressed in sequin dresses? I already had a hankering to take up skateboarding and now I'm convinced.

So that's golf and skateboarding that this season's shows at London Fashion Week have made me think about taking up…I'm not sure that was the point but anyway. Most importantly, I have been given some serious inspiration for SS16 already! I cannot wait to get out on the streets of Paris next week for the White City's Fashion Week. Make sure you follow me on INSTAGRAM and TWITTER to keep up to date with my adventures!
