Sophisticated Cool at LFW: Acne, Burberry, Paul Smith and Topshop
Few cities do cool as well as London, which is why brands like Acne, Burberry, Paul Smith and Topshop thrived during LFW by showcasing collections that It girls everywhere will be after. Acne experimented with the broad shoulder trend that swept through NYFW like wild fire, and Burberry kept it girly with ruffles and statement bow belts. Paul Smith designed for the young hip working woman, and Topshop went less literal than usual. Topshop branched from modern Cleopatra to street style chic with awesome boots and wearable, season-defying pieces that a girl can keep in her closet and not discard once a new trend comes around.

LFW: Print-centric at Holly Fulton, Mary Katrantzou and Peter Pilotto
Three collections I am OBSESSED with from London Fashion Week are Holly Fulton, Mary Katrantzou and Peter Pilotto. The three designers experimented with prints and shapes to create fun night wear for the bold and daring. Mary Katrantzou's is probably in my top five favorite collections from Fashion Month. I love her shapes and colors, and even though her clothes are busy, they never appear to me to be too much because the clean lines make them sleek. Fulton's clothes are bold and have sophisticated modern shapes. Her electric blue dresses are like the It girl's LBD. Finally, Pilotto's collection once again, incorporates unique shapes and textures to create the print-centric looks he has mastered.
