The last day closed in great spirits as everyone enjoyed the grand finale of #LFW #AW16.

What a way to wrap it all up!

HIGHLIGHTS

Marques'Almeida

Both trained in womenswear, Marta Marques and Paulo Almeida subscribe to the Helmut Lang school of thought, where ‘fashion is about attitude, not hemlines’.

While their aesthetic evokes raw effortlessness, the pair’s technical sensibilities are revealed in the construction of each piece.

Cutting their teeth at Vivienne Westwood and Preen respectively, Marques and Almeida took the natural course of combining talents while on the MA at Central Saint Martins, hitting the mark between impulse and consideration.

They launched MARQUES’ALMEIDA in April 2011 and showed for their first 2 seasons under Lulu Kennedy’s platform, Fashion East.

In 2014 they were awarded NEWGEN sponsorship from the British Fashion Council / Topshop, showing for 5 seasons as a part of NEWGEN.

In May 2015 MARQUES’ALMEIDA were awarded the LVMH Prize for Young Fashion Designers. The design duo launched their debut Resort collection in 2015 and later in the year staged their first independent on-schedule show for spring/summer 2016.

In 2015 MARQUES’ALMEIDA were asked to design costumes for the New York City Ballet’s Fourth Annual Fall Fashion Gala, conceived by Sarah Jessica Parker, debuting in September 2015.

MARQUES’ALMEIDA is currently stocked globally in top department stores, with their stockist list growing each season.

TOGA

Showcased their Spring/ Summer 2017 styles yesterday. The trend was unexpected, with the mix and match of fabrics that one wouldn't usually wear together like sweaters and plastic. The Japanese company put at least one strap on every outfit, whether it was used on the side, the neck or the waist. Metallic open toed shoes were used to compliment some of the outfits as well as clear plastic and bright pastel boots.

Oliver Spencer

Let's not forget the men!

Oliver Spencer introduced his Spring/Summer 2017 collection today at LFW. Earthy tones were used such as olive for the jackets, a deep red for any item and black, gray and white used all around. Stripes, plaid and a distinct circular gray pattern were also used throughout most of the looks. Very classy and traditional patterns that men would wear.

EVENTS

Christopher Bailey and Jefferson Hack celebrate the launch of the Burberry Dazed A/W cover

Last night, Burberry and Dazed came together to celebrate the launch of the Jean Campbell cover of the 25th anniversary issue.

Burberry chief creative and chief executive officer Christopher Bailey was in attendance, along with Campbell who is also the star of the brand’s latest campaign.

#CourtneyLove and #FrancesBeanCobain were also there, as well as models #LottieMoss, #MatildaLowther and #NeelamGill, and designers #CharlesJeffrey, #ClaireBarrow and #FaustineSteinmetz.

The night saw DJ sets performed by #Burberry model #HayettMcCarthy (who, you may remember, paid tribute to #DavidBowie in quite a unique way at the brand’s last show) and current Burberry campaign star, British musician #CavanMcCarthy, as well as vocalist #AustinWilliams.

The event was staged at Burberry’s new London show space, #MakersHouse, which is located on Manette Street in Soho. This was also the setting for the brand’s ‘September’ show on Monday. Featuring models Lineisy Montero and Dilone, this show saw the presentation of Burberry’s first ‘See Now, Buy Now’ collection – a line inspired by iconic Virginia Woolf novel Orlando set in the Elizabethan period.

Starting today, Makers House will be open to the public for a week and will be showcasing original works by a selection of #makers who will use this space to experiment and create, using the September collection’s inspiration as the starting point for their work.
