Last days of London round-up

Here’s a round up of the last couple of days of London: a dozen designers, presented roughly on a scale from amaaaazing to so-so.

MARIOS SCHWAB: Love this idea – 3 pieces per look create vertical triptychs. How much fun would it be to mix and match?

RICHARD NICHOLL: This is what would result if those tasselled Grandma lampshades were transfigured into clothes – and I mean that in a REALLY good way. A very strong collection.

JONATHAN SAUNDERS: The word ‘insouciance’ springs to mind - probably because of the loose fits and just-got-out-of-the-shower hair.

PETER PILOTTO: This dress reminds me of a parrot. In a really good way.

MATTHEW WILLIAMSON: Flouncy dresses, long or short, sharply accessorised = an impeccable formula.

TOPSHOP UNIQUE: I think this is the best raincoat I’ve ever seen, worn by my fave model Tao Okamoto. And quite by chance she looks equally amazing in that clingfilm-tight dress, my other favourite from the show.

ERDEM: A plethora of f-words: floral, flirty, feminine, florid…

NICOLE FARHI: Chances are, you’re gonna look fat in any of these pieces.

TODD LYNN: I’m a bit obsessed with grey. So ensembles of a ton of different shades should make me happy. But all the layers make it a bit wintery.

PAUL SMITH WOMEN: Predictably superb tailoring, but what is up with those hideous piles of pattern that comprise anything that wasn’t a suit?

PRINGLE: Pale and uninteresting sums it up.

TWENTY8TWELVE: Yawn. Seen it all before. And the swimwear is particularly poor.
