London Fashion Week has now drawn to a close, leaving us feeling inspired and excited by fashion design! Our favourite shows had a really honest energy to them; an appreciation for exciting patterns, prints, sets and makeup that leaves the viewer feeling passionate too - even if the viewer isn't front row and is streaming it online or reading tweets about the show. Incidentally, we have a love for exciting prints, patterns, sets & makeup here at Thunder Egg too... Read on for more on that!
MEADHAM KIRCHHOFF
Featuring models cast from an open call ("Typical model looks not required"), the Meadham Kirchhoff show was delightfully diverse. The clothes and set were absolutely wild - it was exciting to say the least! We loved the bright colours and bizarre designs. They reminded us endlessly of our current Lazy Oaf stock - an oversized t-shirt emblazoned with dogs, pizza & dollar bills and a 3D pom pom jumper feel pretty MK to us!
The dramatic Vivienne Westwood-esque layered dresses were pretty special too. We'll be layering one of our many swishy midi skirts with some chiffon shirts and clashing prints. Come in store to check some out!
ASHLEY WILLIAMS
We adored Ashley Williams' fun, quirky Asian style prints (with added glitter of course!). Her graphic patterns are always exciting and fresh - to lots of people she really represents London's emerging designers. For this collection she took inspiration from Western society's influence on 1960's Asia's aesthetic - it is oriental designs with an unmistakable edge. Check out our Lucky Cat dress by Run & Fly, which really reflects that same vibe.
We'd combine this with sparkly jewellery and a patent bag (maybe one of our new LYDC ones!) for an edgy Ashley Williams look. Pointy shoes are a must. We've got a Neon Rose eye print two piece as well that really captures the graphic designs we saw in this show - we're obsessed!
Peter Pilotto
Known for their hugely exciting prints, Peter Pilotto was always going to be a favourite in our eyes - look at how vibrant it is! The shapes feel quite classic, but the colours and patterns are where these designs come into their own - especially worn with the matching shoes. There's the ever-present shimmer in this show too. We like to use our makeup and accessories do the glittering and let the vivid patterns have the limelight! There are so many amazing prints at Thunder Egg right now to keep your Peter Pilotto excitement fizzling: a The Whitepepper fried egg skirt & crop top, a Compañia Fantastica bright lightning bolt dress, loads of Glamorous paisley patterns, quirky Trollied Dolly dresses and some super bright Cutie patterns. We'd wear all of it with glitter eyeliner and a holographic LYDC bag to get the catwalk sparkle!
There's a little glimpse into our LFW! We just can't resist fun patterns, layers and a little sparkle. Most of all we love fashion that feels exciting and fun. What have been your favourites this season, and how will you be interpreting the catwalk looks?
