LONDON FASHION WEEK PART II: STREET STYLE

There were quite a few characters out at Somerset House for Fashion Week.  Some were chic and trendy, others looked like they came from outer space, but they all had their own unique style.  Here's a look at the street style at LFW.

HOUSE OF EVOLUTION SHOW & AFTERPARTY

It has been a crazy whirlwind of shows, interviews, and after parties but somehow I am keeping my head above water.  House of Evolution is a fashion showcase that chooses three emerging designers each season to show at London Fashion Week.  This time they chose art enthusiast and former gallery owner Lada Komarova for Delada, Zeynep Tosun, winner of the Best Upcoming Designer award at the Elle Style Awards, and red carpet dress designer Nadine Merabi.

LONDON FASHION WEEK PART I

The weather was dismal on day two (day one for me) of London Fashion Week but it didn't dampen the spirits of the showgoers.  Somerset House was still full of fashion fanatics including myself.  First up was Spijkers en Spijkers, a Dutch design duo (twins!) known for their colorful and graphic frocks.  I got a fifties vibe with a modern edge from this collection.  Models wore their hair in bobs accessorized with bright plastic headbands wearing a medley of geometric patterns.

LONDON FASHION WEEK ROUNDUP

London Fashion Week was literally a blur.  It was over before I knew it but the clothes left a lasting impact.  For instance, Christopher Bailey for Burberry Prorsum's collection blew me away this season.  The designer put a twist on his classic trenches by playing with different colors, fabrics, prints, and patterns (stripes anyone?).  He also took a step outside this realm with some very fashionable parkas although I don't know who will be wearing these for Spring.  Colorful beaded tops paired with tea length skirts and tribal prints rounded out this collection.  And I can't say enough about the accessories that came in the form of oversized tote bags, open-toe booties, beaded platform wedges, and wide belts.  

LOOK WE LOVE: CHRISTINE CENTENERA

Christine Centenera

Today I came across this photo on Style.com of Christine Centenera making her way through London Fashion Week and I was immediately intrigued.  Who was this woman in the Givenchy tunic and fly suede booties?  Turns out she is a fashion editor for Australian Harper's Bazaar, a stylist, and apparently a fashion consultant for Kanye West's new fashion line set to debut soon.  With quite an impressive sartorial resume, it's no wonder why the fashion week regular has such an amazing style.  Here's some more looks from her glamorous wardrobe.
