London AW10 | Day Two






It's no surprise sisters Sienna and Savannah Miller design with themselves and no doubt their friends in mind. Their Twenty8Twelve collection is in serious competition with high street chains such as H&M and TopShop though from my opinion, with no real direction other than taking inspiration from what's already available and giving it another name.
There were warrior elements blindingly obvious at Todd Lynn, armoring urban dwellers against what I'm not sure exactly, but he did it in a very streamlined and polished way that keeps his overall mood very modern and relevant.
Joanna Sykes has called her label Sykes and she performed a great impression of relaxed elegance with a sporty spin, the best surprise left for look number 12 and 15 you absolutely must take a look at by clicking here immediately. There was nothing pretentious about this collection, she approached it honestly and edited brilliantly to make sure that there were no interruptions to the balance of the story her collection was telling.
Matthew Williamson is the guaranteed go to man to never let winter dampen our spirits. Bright blues and pinks combined with black and gray to offer warmth and protection from the elements by way of adding coats to leather leggings and other garments but the detail was all in the neckline or at the hem.
Julien Macdonald gave a lace like spin on wool so to speak and kept his lace inspired collection tight with a nod to tuxedo references scattered throughout the feminine collection. Shearling lined leather jackets kept it grounded from floating away on a cloud of romantic lace notions and he showed why he stands apart from the crowd with innovative ideas with this Autumn Winter collection.
