The beautifully serene collection by Aquascatum conjured all the elegance and simplicity of references to the English aristocracy of years past. The long lines reigned in at the waist couldn't give a more streamlined silhouette and the nice touch with silver flats kept the collection grounded. It was incredibly wearable and didn't get too far ahead of itself, there was nothing too over the top and quite literally, felt like a breath of fresh air with so much potential. This would have to be my favourite show from all the collections we've seen over the last week. Big call.
And the great Vivienne Westwood led her legendary draped corsets in tartan prints down the straight and narrow, this collection was one of the safest from her, and one of the least politically vocal for a couple of seasons now. She just did what she does well, and showed great focus for her signature looks.
However all eyes are on Central Saint Martins mind-blowingly talented students. They've created true fashion legends in John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, Stella McCartney and Hussein Chalayan and although these looks aren't quite as memorable as some of these mentioned designers proved to be when they graduated, there is definitely potential there, see for yourself. A great result in London today, there's promise from every angle.
