Tata-Naka’s digital printed denim sweatpants which evolved a sense of humor to the denim craze we saw at spring.
Felder Felder’s ruffle detail, especially at the hip, which no doubt consumers who catch on to the craze from Spring 2010 will demand more come Fall.
Cooperative Designs’ graphic bright shaggy sweaters with matching neckwear which conjured up the image of a softer Tron.
Bodyamr’s entire collection, from the cashmere and sheer zipper hourglass sheaths to the digital screen printed draped cocktail dresses. Exactly how women want to dress right now!
Irwin & Jordan’s menswear inspired checked cape reminiscent of equestrian utility with a softness in the fine gauge wool and light airy movement.
Nikki Noo whose first collection ever unveiled at the Lingerie Exhibition in Somerset House. Classic feminine bras and panties with smooth silk florals were perfect underthings for both the hourglass pieces and chunky knitwear, but it was the kneelength silk pajama pants which will beautiful in and out of the bedroom layered with some of the season’s sheerer pieces.
Ada Zanditon’s forest skyline bat inspired sheer t-shirt that to layer for Fall will be amazing under chunky knitwear and a black stocking cap, so cozy and now it’s ridiculous!
Makepiece’s ruched natural-toned maxi dress that marries eco and the comfort dressing together like a dream.
Henrietta Ludgate’s English equestrian inspired eco collection with bridle belts and sculpted wool collars so sumptuous it brings new meaning the idea of “organic clothing.
Emesha’s sexy ballerina dress that is modern, body conscious, graceful and graphic all at the same time.
Holly Fulton’s art deco inspired bright shifts make us long for New York in the 20’s all while hoping the colors will be a hit on the High Streets as well as Palm Beach.
Mary Katrantzou’s entire baroque collection, but mainly the pieces that mix texture like lace with silk and of course the larger than life neckwear that had gentle shells adorning gilded scrolls.
Christopher Raeburn’s genius use of ex-military fabrics from canvas to parachute material to create the most usable but chic parkas for both men and women this side of Sandhurst. The new accessories collection of messenger bags and little hats were hits as well.
Craig Lawrence’s gold gilded collection, like a Klimt painting in real life or a gold gilded flapper, the texture in each piece is unreal.
Fannie Schiovanni and her chainmail is the lady-like way to do gothic medieval. Dressing Lady Gaga for the cover of Q Magazine, this stand-out has just gotten her start of press as far as we are concerned, her elegantly draped pieces of metal are fantasy (if worn alone) and reality (if worn over a simple t-shirt dress) combined.
Maria Francesca Pepe’s vampire chic collection with religios iconic jewelry, fang necklaces, bloody hearts, slashed leggings and a shaved chinchilla type coat with a biting belt.
Sam Ubhi’s cuff with deer head, which will pair wonderfully along both the menswear capes and the dark and stormy earth element dresses.
St. Erasmus Jewelry whose inspiration lies within the beauty and sophistication of Holly Golightly but we also see mermaid elements within the netting pulled over the baubles. Either way, his maxi pearl rings and layers of necklaces are better than breakfast at Tiffanys and much more figure flattering.
