LFW diary: A day of standouts from Erdem, Peter Pilotto, Christopher Kane, Burberry, Mark Fast, and Giles! (Woah!)

Today was a day of standouts at London fashion week, from Peter Pilotto to Christopher Kane and Erdem. The other shows today? Burberry, Mark Fast, and Giles, all of which included some great pieces. Burberry had cropped parkas, African-inspired geometric beading, and straw riding hats with pompoms, while Mark Fast featured looser knits—almost crochet-like, in some cases—on dresses. At Giles we saw swan headpieces by Stephen Jones and laser-cut red leather gown worn by our very own Kate King.

London has surely been about florals, though—the florals at Erdem were beautiful, as was the lace that overlaid some of the dresses, and Christopher Kane‘s collection included plastic flowers appliquéd over sheer organza.

Another highlight? Hearing all the American editors’ reactions to the collections in our shared Mercedes Benz van. “Did Michael Kors and Christopher Bailey go on vacation together in Africa?” asked Teen Vogue’s Gloria Baume after Burberry.

Tomorrow is the last day of shows (tear!), can’t wait to see what Mary Katrantzou comes up with this season!
