London Fashion Week: 5 standouts from the first batch of Fall 2015 shows

by Caitlan Moneta February 23, 2015

Hot on the heels of a dizzying week in New York, fashion’s followers fled the deep freeze and jetted across the pond for London’s turn in the style spotlight. Aside from trying to spot a pregnant Kate Middleton (who has, thus far, avoided the fashion fray) and most of Hollywood, who were undoubtedly prepping for the Oscars’ red carpet, a whole host of top models have turned up, including Sophie Dahl at Temperley, Stella Tenant at Pringle of Scotland and duo du jour Cara Delevigne and Kendall Jenner at Sunday’s Topshop Unique show. The city’s star designers proved their prowess over a jam packed weekend, which included J.W. Anderson‘s unabashed ode to the ‘80s, Pringle of Scotland’s 200th anniversary celebration, Sophia Webster‘s otherworldly accessories presentation and Mary Katrantzou‘s plastic fantastic embellishments.

In honour of last night’s awards, we distilled London Fashion Week’s Fall 2015 offerings down to the top 5 looks worth scrimping and saving for. After all, it’s never too early to start planning next season’s shopping list.

1/5

Mary Katrantzou Fall 2015

Mary Katrantzou, look 30

This parka packs serious punch. Among a collection loaded with plastic, leather and Swarovski details, this piece was a standout.

2/5

JW Anderson Fall 2015

J.W. Anderson, look 32

If you’re going to make an ‘80s statement, why not go all the way with metallic lurex, bright boots and swingy fringe.

3/5

Emilia Wickstead Fall 2015

Emilia Wickstead, look 26

Culottes have staying power for next season. Keep them looking modern with a patent topper, ankle strap pump and a shot of sheen.

4/5

Simone Rocha Fall 2015

Simone Rocha, look 36

A graphic red check paired with oversize pearl embellishments, an asymmetric hem and matching brogues take this mini dress to the next level.

5/5

Topshop Unique Fall 2015

Topshop Unique, look 22

Fun, shaggy furs are still going strong. Pale green is sure to chase away the winter blues.
