LFW AW 2011 Day 3 Roundup

Day 3 Sunday 20th February

Mulberry revealed their A/W 11 collection inspired by The Fantastic Mr. Fox in the exclusive Claridges ballroom at 10:15.

The Acne show at 11am explored hardcore chic with a heart. Jonny Jonhasson drew his inspiration for the easy, breezy, beautiful collection from the girls in his design studio.

Jasper Conran at midday in Somerset explored 1960s gamine types and the call of the wild! Mod-style monochrome dresses and a black dress with a collar of ostrich feathers were amongst my favourites.

Nicole Farhi was 2pm showed masculine tailoring and gold jewellery. American Vogue’s Anna Wintour, Sir Philip Green (recently awarded International Retailer of the Year) and daughter were spotted in the front row.

The Topshop Unique show at 3pm was full of dog print pieces and the models hair was turned into ears!! Giving them the appearance of fun Mikey Mouse type cartoon characters. Expect lots of faux fur and spots for A/W 11.

The Osman collection at 4pm was inspired by Artist Catherine Yass’s lightbox series. We’ll be thankful for fur sleeves on black gowns next A/W if it snows again!

Matthew Williamson at 5pm showed the trend he coined – upperclass boho, expect ethnic print flowy maxi dresses and bright coloured jewels inspired from far flung exotic places. Take me there!!!

Vivienne Westwood red Label at 6pm was the Highlight of the Day. Lot’s of celebrities, champagne, crazy mix of prints, strips and colour, active resistance politics to save our resources, gold leaves sprayed onto faces and birds nests in hair!

Richard Nicoll at 7pm was all about comfort. He referenced the 20’s drop-waisted silhouettes in an effort to avoid emphasis on the waist.

Temperley at 8pm in the British Mueseum was simple and beautiful. We met the beautiful Jameela Jamil there wearing cobalt blue and British pumps.
