LFW: Dark Florals at Christopher Kane, Erdem and Jonathan Saunders

Three designers I am always excited to see collections from are Christopher Kane, Erdem and Jonathan Saunders.  What I normally love from Erdem are their bright cheerful florals, but this season he took his signature look to a darker place and played with lots of deep blues and yellows.  Christopher Kane also followed suit putting out a collection that was rich in texture, hard in form but still girly with florals.  Jonathan Saunders also embraced the fall color palette and kept his collection feminine by also embracing the trend that just keeps coming back for more, florals.

Resort 2012: Jonathan Saunders

As always, there seems to be more collections that I love than I have time to post... so my goal is to finish posting my favorites in a week!  We'll start it off with Jonathan Saunders whose gorgeous structured dresses and patterns I think are to die for.

London Fashion Week: Shoes

Here's a look at my favorite shoes of London Fashion Week.  It seemed like a lot of designers went for modern looks with metalic colors and wood wedges.

LOVE: Jonathan Saunders Fall 2011

I adore Jonathan Saunders' fall collection.  He does an amazing job color blocking, and I love the patterns that he uses.  I think the best part is that Saunders managed to color block with patterns and it makes the clothes look so clean and chic, but still fun and interesting.

Color blocking has been huge again this season in London and Milan.  I'm interested to see if it continues into Paris.

LOVE: Jonathan Saunders Spring 2011

I think Jonathan Saunders had my favorite collection at London Fashion Week.  There's something so great about how Saunders did color blocking in an understated, minimalist way.  

What do you think?

Favorite shoes from London Fashion Week

Some of my favorite shoes from London Fashion Week.  I don't know when this platform craze started, but these Acne shoes are crazy awesome.  The Erdem shoes are my favorite (I believe Nicholas Kirkwood did them).
