LONDON SPRING 2010

This season London has been busier than most due to their 25 Anniversary of Fashion week …between that and being the home of Central St. Martins, London was jammed with shows –new designers and old standards.

London has always been an incubator of fashion ideas and trends ie; TWIGGY, BIBA , SWINGING 60’S, the BEATLES,ALEXANDER McQUEEN and so much more ……this season was no exception.
What I found so exciting was the use of prints, colors,and innovation from many of the young designers.

Of particular note were the collections of LUELLA, PRINGLE, AQUASCUTUM,ERDEM and MARY KATRANTZOU…….keeping in mind that these collections had wonderful moments that will probably show up in seasons to come …but within other designer collections and therein lies the influence of LONDON.

My absolute favorite is ERDEM for the exquisite details , intricate executions and the use of pattern and color—-as always I suggest you have a look for yourself a www.style.com .
