MARIA GRACHVOGEL SS12

Held in the ballroom of the Savoy hotel, Maria Grachvogel presented her Spring/Summer 2012 show yesterday. The fabrics were so luxurious, every garment was meant to move. The catwalk was a large square so there was a constant pounding of models and fabric following behind them. I loved all the white looks and the snakeskin trouser suit was pretty amazing. The shoes were a collaboration with Atalanta Weller, so chic! It’s all about those snakeskin booties.

CORRIE NIELSEN SS12

Corrie Nielsen was my first show to kick start London Fashion Week into action yesterday. With a strong traditional Japanese influence the models walked slowly down the catwalk to heavy string music accompanied with bird song. The silhouettes were so magnificent; my favourite being the coats with bustles on the back, wraps around the waist and a low neckline. I wasn’t so sure about some of the fabric choices, I’ve never been a fan of silk taffeta but I wished the beautiful blouses were made out of something else, it did look incredibly rich though. Over all it was incredible, maybe I’ll try and pull off that hair style soon.
