Here is the Autumn/Winter 09/10 collection from Nico-D at Vauxhall Fashion Scout at London Fashion week. Former designers to show at Vauxhall Fashion Scout include Peter Piloti. Also keep an eye out during the show for an appearance by Zach Burns.

Here is the video from the Marios Schwab show. I have to say I think this is one of the best shows I have seen out of London Fashion Week.lots of rich colours with a very high end feel to the collection.Black, White, Red ,Green, and Fuschia were the main colours in the collection. The whole collection was very form fitting and was very flattering to the female form. He also made usage of marbling  and paneling and the collection was said to be inspired by crystals. Overall, I have to say this show was probably the best show at LFW.

Topshop posted a video of Marios talking about his Autumn/Winter 2009/10 collection. Check out the video below

Here is a youtube video of British Fashion designer, Alexander Mcqueen's 2009 Fall Winter menswear collection. Overall I give the show an A-. The presentation was great. The Show was a mix of debonaire  meets Jack the ripper. Reminded me of early 20th century style, not that I was alive in the early 20th century.

Most of the pieces were very wearable, except for some that had a molded crotch piece. I really cant imagine that piece off the catwalk but the rest of the collection was impeccable.

Men's fashion week is currently going on in Milan.  Here are some pics from British design house Burberry. Burberry has gone back to basics with classic cuts, trench coats pinstrips and plaid. Its very reminiscent of their aestetique in the 90's. Also of note was Burberry's usage of little neck ties that almost looked like victorian style cravats. I definitely think Designer Christopher Bailey has delivered with this collection. 

Could the cravat become a trend? Below are two Cravat style ties. Image source

 Last night in Miami, Florida the Victoria's Secret show was filmed. The show was dominated by the Brazilian models  with 7 of the 35 models hailing from Brazil. Only one British girl was in the line-up for this year's  show.  That  girl was Rosie Huntington Whiteley. For the second year running she was cast for the Victoria's Secret  show. Not many British models get picked  for this show, probably because VS usually looks for girls who can exude sexiness instead of a super high fashion look . Former British Victoria's Secret alumni include Karen Elson and Naomi Campbell.

Other featured models were ( from left to right) the current faces of Next Clothing, Brazilian models, Emanuela de Paula and Alessandra Ambrosio.(far right) Noemie Lenoir who has recently done campaigns for Marks & Spencers also walked the catwalk.

Designers Viktor & Rolf skipped Paris fashion week this year and instead thy hosted an online fashion show. The fashion show featured models Shalom Harlow, Shalom Harlow and …..Shalom Harlow. This is not a typo. 34 year old Canadian born  model, Shalom was the only model in the show but thanks to some digital editing, the show looked like several Shalom-clones took the runway. The clothes are  very beautiful and its nice to see a model that doesnt look "12 years old" on the runway.

These are my two favourite shows from New York Fashion week. New York fashion week is making me excited because it means that London Fashion Week is only one week away!!!

On August 31st  Andrew Christian hosted a fashion show for his new "Black Line". 3,000 people  were part of the sell-out-crowd at Circus Disco.

With the debut of his new upscale line "Black by Andrew Christian" Andrew Christian has proven once again that the fashion elites better make room for Andrew Christian. "Black by Andrew Christian" takes you inside Andrew’s own personal closet and allows you to purchase some of the exact same things Andrew has designed and produced exclusively for himself…and now you too.  I think the designs are really clean cut and sleek.

"Black by Andrew Christian" showcases button down shirts, both long and short sleeve, vests and matching pants. Also included in the line are some of the new jewelry Andrew has designed for himself and others.

"I have spent the past 7 years making men feel good in underwear and swimsuits," says Andrew Christian, "It was only logical that I begin to make men look good on the outside. With the Black line, I wanted to give men something that not only looked good on them but was something they would want to wear and be seen in. With this line, if I don’t have it in my closet at home, it’s not included in this line."

London Fashion Event: Sun & Swim London 2008 is the largest Swimwear event in London.  There will be fashion shows showcasing trends for Spring/Summer 2009 .  Over 200 collections will be on display at Sun & Swim and celebrity guest such as Caprice will be in attendance. The Exhibition runs from the 27th-29th and the Beauty Confessional will be covering the event.

So as per usual stay tuned to this space as we will be bringing you a sneak preview of what will be hot in 2009!

NEXT STOP SUN & SWIM LONDON 2008!!!

In an earlier post I promised some pictures and a review of a London fashion event i attended called, Style Me Up. So here I go. Overall the event was a success, It started a bit later than expected but you know the fashion crowd, everyone has to arrive "fashionably late" and take a million photos.  It was all fun, I met some awesome people and the atmosphere in the club was really good. I will probably visit Clerkenwell House again.

When the Fashion Showcase started there was a very strong crowd. The showcase kicked off with a collection by Xaverie. She described her collection as "Afro punk".Her collection was mainly casual wear and the clothes were a combination of modern cuts and afro-prints. There were some nice rumper suits and she also had some  really innovative linen hooded shirts.

The second designer was Aaron Ray Dowie. Now don't get me wrong but Menswear usually isn't as exciting as it female counterpart. However, Aaron stole the show and proved me wrong. His designs were innovative, quirky,fun and fresh. I could so imagine Pharell Williams or Justin Timberlake wearing  Aaron's  clothes. I cant even pick a favorite from his collection, because I liked everything he did . In addition to the suits he had some awesome Trench Coats. An interesting fact to note, is that Aaron sews all of his clothes. Definitely my Favorite of the night.

There was a short break and Two singers came to entertain. the first was Grace Obika, her sound was a cross between R&B and old school soul. She kind of reminded me of Solange Knowles new song " I decided". The second artist was Tina Marie. Her sound was described as experimental Indie Pop. Now experimental Indie pop isn't usually  the type of music I listen to but this girl had an AMAZING VOICE!!! She sure had some amazing vocals!!

  The Third Designer was DAKOU. She described her collection as Afro Centric / Bohemian Chic. I saw this collection at Wimbledon Fashion Week and I still liked it second time around. Some really cute,fun and fresh looking styles. The men's shirts were also good.

The Fourth designer was Danielle Morgan. Clothes were very fashion forward. Over sized sleeves were coupled with puffed legs. Some of the dresses had Victorian portraits around the hemline while others had iconic figures such as 'Nelson Mandela".

Last collection was Simone Williams. Her collection was classic cocktail wear.In two words  her collection was "PURE SOPHISTICATION".

After the shows ended everyone mingled and partied the night away!!!!
