London Fashion Week began on Sunday 14 September with feminine styles from some of Britain’s established labels and quirkier designs from London’s newer names.
PPQ headed by Amy Molyneaux and Percy Parker had a tongue-in-cheek collection with 1940s hats, jumpsuits and air stewardess influenced outfits. Inspired by the letter “p” the collection included quirky T-shirt dresses and oversized “bling” earrings.
High street label Topshop unveiled its Unique collection. Youthful and louche, models tied up their hair with cloth Alice bands and wore monochrome mini-dresses and jump suits.
More sophisticated styles could be found in the collections by seasoned designers Ossie Clarke and Caroline Charles.
Clarke’s collection was a return to his 1970s heyday with voluminous silk creations and hand-painted designs.
Clarke died in 1996 and the collection is now led by designer Avsh Alom Gul and featured model-of-the moment Jourdan Dunn.
Caroline Charles, whose career in fashion spans four decades, was excited about this year’s event. She told Reuters: “It’s not a sort of tiny, tight little group like some cities, it’s a really broad canvas of designers that we allow and promote and sometimes pay for to go on our catwalks and it makes London fizz".
