I'm really liking the shade of purple they're using..it's very cute. Also, interesting how they tied up the belts, it's quite an ongoing trend right now to loop the ends of belts.
i seem to be going against the flow, but love the shirt as dress + jacket + slip-on city shoes .. new ways to/for-wards the androgynous style. all these are very inspiring to me.
yes, the colors of that show were interesting – both the colors that were in it and the colors that were rejected. the sad thing is that it was the first of the london shows where i remarked the LACK of color and therefore made me feel sick to my stomach because when i think of london, i think of the beautiful colors in london.
Colour combinations absolutely gorgeous. Love the flash of yellow underneath the shoe in picture two. Such classic clothes worn with an inspiring palette of colour.
love, love, love, love, sir paul and always have but this collection is the best in a long time. color, silhouette, the always fun details, and the shoes…. ahhhh… glad you like it too. I finally like something that a saavy fashion person likes!
This is the first fashion show you have shot that actually makes sense to me, as in, I understand the style and where it is pushing out a new look. Wonderful! I agree that the colors are great – easy to look at but not boring. I especially love the eggplant jumpsuit with the multiple orange belts. And even the poufy French twist hair. Just really inspiring. THank you.
gosh! i totally love this collection! i love the suitcase it's just so beautiful! and the trousers and the belt! i NEED them. love love loveeee muchos!
Now this is inspiring fashion. Trust London in all its wayward charm to come up with something so simple and elegant. Love the purple piece as well as the rust top and grey pants. So classy, comfy and elegant.
I do love all of these–esp the purple colour–it has a touch of magenta which gives it that bit of extra vibrancy. Those loose pants though are hard to wear when short and/or solid around the lower half.
I love this collection. The color combinations are beautiful, and the clothing looks extremely comfortable. I probably wouldn't wear the tiny little panties though, not at my age.
my first reaction to the backwards cardi was one of confusion, but after looking at it for a bit i realized how much i love it! i always love an interesting back, and a button down with skin showing through is very clever. i'd probably do this look with a cardigan that doesn't have a pocket, but i love the idea!
Thanks so much for providing individuals with an extraordinarily superb chance to read critical reviews from this web site. It really is so nice and also packed with a lot of fun for me personally and my office fellow workers to visit your blog at the very least thrice in 7 days to study the fresh things you have. And lastly, I’m so always contented with your very good things you serve. Selected 2 ideas in this article are definitely the most effective we have had.

The model+styling of the first photo is rather reminiscent of Tilda Swinton (i love it)
I see a movement in fashion to a rather boxy, elegantly masculine silhouette–rather Katherine Hepburn-ish.
