So it’s kick off for London Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2010. The capital known for its mix of hot young designers and heritage superstars turns 25 this year, and the whole operation has moved to Somerset House. In a show of solidarity with the ailing retail industry, Downing Street hosted an opening night party on Friday, and morale seems high amongst the Brit fashion pack. Here’s hoping this silver anniversary year is a vintage one…
Identified by Ballad Of’s Gussy as one to watch this season, Mark Fast didn’t fail to deliver on day one. A collection comprised almost entirely of super tight, skimpy, short dresses embellished with the crochet and fringe detailing for which Fast has become known meant for plenty of sex appeal. It may sound unforgiving on the body, but, in the first surprise of the week (it’s already generating column inches) several looks were sported by models who are decidedly ‘plus size’ by industry standards.
Elsewhere, Bora Aksu showed a different take on the underwear-as-outwear trend, veering closer to pyjama territory, and had the best tights I’ve seen so far – half sheer, half glittery, totally amazing.
